Crescent Unit is an organization from Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-, the elite fighting force of Wutai. According to the Crisis Core Complete Guide^[1], the Crescent Unit is said to appease the wrath of Leviathan and smite the enemies of Wutai, and skilled not only in combat but also in espionage. Like other Wutai soldiers, Crescent Unit soldiers are armed with gun-lances.

The privates wear uniforms with a gray base and trousers embroidered with a chakram, and the commanders wear uniforms with a black base and trousers embroidered with a dragon, and wear a mask. It is a custom for each member to be given a name related to the moon. The Five Saints of Wutai also belong to this unit, and after the end of the Wutai war they gather together the remnants of the Wutai army. It is later revealed in Mission 4-3-6 that the Crescent Unit's true objective is to get revenge against Zack Fair for what he did to Wutai during the Fort Tamblin mission.

Named Engetsu Corps in Japanese, Engetsurin means chakram, and has appeared in past Final Fantasy games as a weapon or item (named Razor Ring, Pinwheel, Moonring, etc. in the English versions).

The members of the squad are:
