A Predator Assassin Squadron is a formation consisting of three or more Predator battle tanks, either the Destructor or Annihilator variant.[1][2]
Predators are grouped into such squadrons when a single enemy unit necessitates its complete annihilation.[1][2] To assist in this task, the tank crews are provided with as much intelligence and tactical guidance as possible about the target.[1] The crews also tune their weapons to fit whatever they have learned about the target.[1]
Predator Assassin Squadrons are so effective that there are only three times in the past century in which the squadrons have failed to eliminate their targets.[1] Two of the failures took place during battles in the Eye of Terror, and the third took place during the War of Quile's Folly, in which a premature Exterminatus order destroyed the target, a company of Mantis Warriors, and 600,000 Valhallan Ice Warriors supporting the aformentioned company.[1]
