Flight history

Before the creation of farm flights, the orange flight was simply not used.

Then after Hammer Cup I came the idea of farm flights. Sledge was the farm flight of Thor. The yellow flight could recruit any racer from Sledge at any time as well as demote inactive racers back to Sledge.

When farm flights were abandonned shortly after Hammer Cup II, Sledge stopped being used completely.

After Hammer Cup III, on April 16th 2024, Sledge officially became HONT's sixth main flight. The leadership of the new flight was given to officer Brave as well as HONT's member Believer. LoveJesus99, LOLMAd and tiptop were the three other initial members.

Sledge became Hammer Cup champions in their very first participation. At the time composed of Brave, Believer, Celestial Knight, ChessMaster, and AsA, the orange flight was a well-balanced powerhouse.

Name, logo and symbolism

At first I thought of naming this flight "Sledgehammer" but I didn't like the "hammer" part since all flight names are about hammers anyway. Sledge is shorter and sounds more fun. I don't think there was a specifc reason why this name was attributed to the orange flight. Vytrail and I really did struggle to find a good logo for Sledge. All images I tried to generate with the AI were extremely boring. Plus they were either too red or too yellow... thus easily confounded with Forge or Thor. Vytrail managed to come up with this superb logo. Clearly orange! Not yellow, not red... but a glowing, absolutely gorgeous and wonderful orange. I love this one very much. Vytrail also wanted to associate Sledge with a runic circle. Lovely! Did I say that I loved this logo? lol
