They specifically target Laser and Heavy Laser class BETA to disable their enemy’s immense firepower. This merciless team’s orders are given the highest priority, and they follow them so exactly that the 666th is known to ignore allied distress calls that would interfere with an ongoing mission, even if only for a moment

The first opening theme is "White Forces" by fripside, and the ending theme is "Kanashimi ga Jidai o Kakeru" (哀しみが時代を駆ける) by Zähre. The soundtrack is composed by Evan Call of Elements Garden.

1"#01"January 10, 2016
An East German TSF squadron, the 666th or "Schwarzesmarken", enter the fight against the BETA with their Comrade Captain, Irisdina Bernhard. Pilot Anett Hosenfield suffers a nervous breakdown and, in the chaos it creates, pilot Inghild Bronikowski is mortally wounded. Irisdina administers a coup de grace rather than leave Inghild to die on the battlefield. She castigates Second Lieutenant Theodor Eberbach for failing to help Annett, and assigns him to continue the mission while Inghild's body is recovered. Later in the battle, Theodor finds a fallen TSF whose unconscious pilot causes him to have a flashback to a failed defection to the West and the loss of his sister, Lise. The pilot turns out to be West German Second Lituenant Katia Waldheim, and when she awakes, she asks to defect to East Germany and join the 666th Squadron. Irisdina, in consultation with party commissar Gretel Jackelyn, allows it and puts Theodor in charge of Katia, hoping to correct his earlier failure to help Anett. Theodor warns Katia to not trust anyone, especially the Stasi, telling her that Irisdina sold out her own brother to the Stasi as a traitor to further her own military career.

After finishing laserjagd training, the Stasi arrive. They demand to take Waldheim to clarify some things because she is from the west and joined the 666th with haste. Heinz Axmann, of the Stasi, also states that the rumors about Bernhard are true, adds that Bernhard will someday kill her squadron, and tells Waldheim that they will see her soon. Meanwhile, Eberbach researches General Strachwitz in the request of Waldheim and discovers all the names are blacked out. When Eberbach reports Waldheim, he discovers the reason why she is looking for him. However, the base spots a BETA advance and they head out for battle.
