Schwarzesmarken is a spin-off of the Muv-Luv Alternative series, set in 1983. The East German Army's 666th TSF Squadron, "Schwarzesmarken" (Black Marks), is a special-forces unit tasked with assaulting BETA forces using unconventional tactics; specifically, they target Lux and Magnus Lux to deny the BETA the advantage of ranged firepower. Their orders are given the highest priority, making it common practice for the 666th to ignore allied distress calls that would cause a deviation from their original mission, even if only for a short moment. The 666th Squadron mostly operates MiG-21s, with their squadron commander, Irisdena Bernhard, piloting an MiG-21PF.
