Game Description[ | ]
Vanguard Starships are issued two loyal Jem'Hadar ace pilots. These expert pilots fly their own Jem'Hadar Vanguard Heavy Raiders (Alpha and Beta) in formation with you, never straying far from your side. Their extensive experience in team-based tactics allow them to execute powerful maneuvers. All Maneuvers share a cooldown, and only one may be active at a time.
Wingmen may not be ordered to attack specific targets, but will instead rapidly update their targeting parameters based on your chosen target. If destroyed in combat, each Wingman will automatically rejoin you after a short lockout period has passed.

Link/Unlink Jem'Hadar Wingman Maneuvers[ | ]
On the PC version of Star Trek Online, players can link the maneuver powers such that both Wingmen will perform the same maneuver simultaneously. Wingmen must be available to perform the maneuver. It is also possible to unlink them in order to instruct different maneuvers for each Heavy Raider.
On the Playstation and Xbox versions of Star Trek Online, the Wingmen are always linked and cannot be unlinked.
