* Similar to the BlackSheepSquadron example (in fact it's quite possibly a WholePlotReference) is the Wraith Squadron in the StarWarsExpandedUniverse, a squadron where some of the New Republic's MilitaryMaverick types are put for one more chance. * ''Literature/HonorHarrington'': ** Basilisk Station was considered such a place, which is why Honor's crew took it so hard when they were assigned there. To add insult to injury, her superior officer, an officer with a personal vendetta against her, decides it's time to take his ship home for an overhaul, leaving her to patrol and defend an entire heavily trafficked system with only a single light cruiser. Honor, [[TheDeterminator being who she is]], starts cleaning up the rampant smuggling and corruption and manages to avert a Havenite invasion. After that Basilisk loses this status and in later books has a full defense force comprised of ships of the wall. ** In a later book, Honor is sent on a pirate-interdicting cruise with some armed freighters. This time she actually does have a bunch of screw-ups and knuckleheads on her crew, and she intentionally keeps the worst of them on her own ship where she can keep an eye on then.
