Interstellar Operations - BattleForce, page 127.
How ironclad are the squadron sizes given in the Squadron Organization Table on page 127 of IntOps BF?
For example, is a player wanting to convert a 10-fighter Clan Star into equal 5-fighter units, or could they choose instead to go with one group of six fighters and one of four?
Similarly, Field Manual: Mercenaries Supplemental II puts the strength of the Medusans mercenary DropShip fleet at two squadrons, with Hydra fielding six vessels and Basilisk seven. It seems fairly clear that a player wishing to field this fleet would be best served by splitting Basilisk Squadron into two groups, one with four ships and one with three. Regarding Hydra, could all six ships be grouped into one unit despite not being a ComStar/WoB faction, and would 3/3 or 4/2 also be acceptable divisions?
