A Cool History of the 24th Omnidimensional Operations Squadron

In the early days of space exploration, humanity’s thirst for faster-than-light travel led to wild experiments with slip space and interdimensional gateways. The United Earth Empire’s brightest minds tinkered with quantum mechanics, hoping to unlock the secrets of instant travel across vast cosmic distances.

Amidst these experiments, a fateful mishap occurred. A prototype slip space drive, jury-rigged with salvaged tech and a dash of reckless ingenuity, unexpectedly breached the barriers between dimensions. The event triggered a series of encounters with extraterrestrial entities—beings of unfathomable power and bizarre physiology.

Dubbed the “Lag Incident” by those who survived it, the chaotic encounter left a handful of scientists and engineers stranded in a liminal space between realities. Armed with little more than duct tape, outdated Navy hand-me-downs, and a grim sense of humor, they managed to stabilize their makeshift portal and return home.

Recognizing the potential of their accidental discovery, the UEE swiftly reclassified the incident as a top-secret experiment gone awry. The survivors were conscripted into a newly formed squadron—the 24th Omnidimensional Operations Squadron (24th OOS). Their mission: to explore and exploit the boundaries between dimensions, harnessing both the technological potential and the unpredictable dangers of interdimensional travel.

Under the leadership of Commander Beau “Badger” Cannon, a brilliant but somewhat eccentric welder-turned-pilot, the 24th OOS began its journey. From skirmishes with eldritch horrors that defied physics to negotiating peace treaties with sentient gas clouds, their exploits became the stuff of legend across the cosmos.

Over the decades, the squadron evolved from a ragtag band of misfit scientists into a well-oiled machine of multidimensional warfare. They adapted salvaged technology with cutting-edge advancements and a healthy dose of duct tape innovation, forging a reputation as the UEE’s foremost experts in handling the weird and the unpredictable.

Today, stationed aboard the state-of-the-art carrier UEE Evergreen, the 24th OOS continues to push the boundaries of science and sanity. Their motto = -"Where there's lag, there's hope"- "We're not a cult I swear" = reflects their resilience in the face of adversity and their determination to safeguard humanity, no matter which dimension or reality they find themselves in.
