"Since we're not all one-man armies like my self," Helen grins, "the rest of us need a squad with us when we are fighting. In this lesson you will find out about the basics of squads which will help you to defend yourself, attack others and help you in your life here in the eXiles."
When referring to squads, only NPCs and droids can be added to a squad. For ease of reference, droids and NPCs are referred to as 'entities' in this lesson.
