The 999th Test Squadron (also referred as the 999, Squadron 999, and The Wreckless) is an elite squadron for test pilots founded by Michelle Saleno since the beginning of Humanity’s journey into the stars.
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” 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.

“The Wreckless”
A poem by former 999th Squadron pilot Lt. Ralph Kinoi
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.
