First incorporated in the 2130s, the unit proved its value throughout the centuries to make space travel safer for everyone by testing ships' technological limits and piloting experimental spacecraft fearlessly. Although the ''999'' designation was used because the squadron started "outside of the normal structure"<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|int=Comm-Link:Portfolio - 999th Squadron|text=Comm-Link:Portfolio-999th-Test-Squadron|url=comm-link/transmission/15330-Portfolio-999th-Test-Squadron}}</ref> and supposed to be temporary, it stuck with the unit. Today the 999th squadron is assigned to [[18th Battle Fleet]] and stationed in [[Chronos system]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|int=Comm-Link:Galactic_Guide_-_Chronos_System|text=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - Chronos System|url=comm-link/transmission/15327-Galactic-Guide-Chronos-System}}</ref> == History == === Founding and RSI Zeus === Since the introduction of [[Quantum drive]] in [[2075]], [[Roberts Space Industries]] had been working to make the Quantum drive commercially viable. In the [[2130s]], RSI launched the [[Zeus]] prototype that is equipped with such drive into test flights, but there are concerns with putting the technology into hands of non-military trained pilots. In 2136-6-23, during a live flight that was being broadcast across the world, the hull of an early Zeus ship ripped apart as it left [[Earth|Earth's]] atmosphere, completely destroying the ship and killing the test pilot. The disaster shook people and suddenly the horrifying dangers of space travel transcended the excitement of making it affordable and accessible. Desperate, RSI turned to the [[Navy]] and renowned test pilot Michelle Saleno for help in keeping the Zeus program alive. Saleno had extensive experience with RSI's Quantum Core Engine and held the honor of being the first pilot to quantum past [[Jupiter]]. Saleno had been pushing for the training of new test pilots who would be dedicated to cutting-edge spaceships. At the time, the people of Earth were very much alone in the universe, so while the Navy's spacefleet was expanding, there was only a small wing of active pilots. Saleno knew that as the civilian spaceflight market expanded to include quantum travel, the Navy would have to rapidly expand along with it to maintain its flight superiority. The Navy accepted Saleno's plan and the first incarnation of the 999th Test Squadron was born. Since the Test Squadron was created outside of the normal structure, the 999 designation was just supposed to be temporary until the unit could be properly assigned, but the number wound up sticking. After the deal was struck for Navy resources to be used to help RSI develop the commercial ship, Saleno and her crew spent the first year demanding changes before she or any of her pilots would take a first test flight. She battled with RSI executives over the ship's hull and drove RSI to completely overhaul their design. Finally, on 2137-3-19, Saleno climbed inside the Zeus for her first test flight. {{quote|A test pilot's job isn't about taking risks; it's about achieving results. It's about safely landing again, just as much as it is about fearlessly flying forward.|Michelle Saleno, founder of the 999th Test Squadron}} The new Zeus had been worth the wait. At 15:09 SET, Saleno safely touched down. It would require more testing, but thanks to 999's hard work, the release of the first commercial quantum drive enabled ship had become an inevitability. RSI touted their success and overnight Saleno became a media sensation. She was painted as a risk-taker willing to sacrifice her life so all of Humanity could go to the stars. Privately, Saleno bristled at the portrayal and made it abundantly clear that she had all intentions of dying of old age and not during a test flight accident.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> === Incorporation === [[File:999th Test Squadron.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Old insignia]] For two centuries, Saleno's squadron was used to test ships for the military. They were the ones to put new ships through their paces and to create training protocols for those ships to be introduced into regular use. Their work was so important that when the [[UNE]] came into existence, in [[2380]], the squadron was incorporated directly into the new Naval structure with their 999 designation intact, one of the few squadrons that can make that claim.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> === First Tevarin War === During the [[First Tevarin War]] between [[2542]] and [[2546]], the 999 were the first to test variants of the [[Retaliator]]. Some in command demanded a rush on the needed ships going into active service immediately, but (thanks to his heroics at the [[Battle of Idris IV]]) a then Colonel [[Ivar Messer]] had enough clout to advise that the Retaliators' deployment be held until the 999 had signed off on them. Historians credit this move with saving hundreds of pilots' lives. A fatally flawed power transfer unit was discovered and fixed during the testing process.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> === Present === Today, the 999th Squadron is part of the 18th Battle Fleet and calls the Chronos System home. The squadron uses the system's vast expanse to test the next generation of military fighters. They are reportedly putting the new [[Aegis]] [[Sabre]] through the gauntlet to see if it should become a staple of the Navy's fleet. Aegis executives and Navy pilots alike are eagerly waiting to hear the revered squadron's opinion of the cutting-edge fighter.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> The 999th also hold occasional ceremonial flights, specifically during the yearly [[Invictus Launch Week]]. They started appearing at select Invictus ceremonies since 2803.<ref>[[Star Citizen Alpha 3.9.1|Alpha 3.9.1]] in-game plaques at [[Invictus Launch Week]]</ref> == Diorama == This diorama was on display at the 2950 [[Invictus Launch Week]].<ref>[[Star Citizen Alpha 3.9.1|Alpha 3.9.1]]: Info panels at [[Invictus Launch Week|Invictus event]]</ref> "The Wreckless" A poem by former 999th Squadron pilot Lt. [[Ralph Kinoi]] <blockquote> We push boundaries. To test the limits of what we can do. To say the impossible can not define us. To move us all beyond where we thought we could go. To be the first. The fastest. The best. It is not easy. Luck is as important as skill. Failure as important as success. But we get better. And we learn. And we get back up and try again. And we carry on when others can't. We carry on so others can.</blockquote> == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:UEEN Squadrons]] [[Category:Lore]]
