After the Fall of Caliban in 2712, the fate of the 88th squadron hung in the balance. Questions loomed over whether more could have been done to reinforce the valiant forces attempting to reclaim Crion from the Vanduul, including a perilous mission against a Kingship.
Despite the courageous efforts, the mission ended in failure. The UEE Naval Command, seemingly unwilling to commit the necessary resources, left the surviving members of the 72nd taskforce disillusioned and disheartened.
In 2885, the frustration with the UEE Navy’s shortcomings reached a tipping point. The disillusioned remnants of the 72nd taskforce broke away, forming the 404th Combined Arms Squadron. The breakaway marked a transformation from a military unit to a Private Military Company (PMC), as the UUE Navy, angered by the retention of our squadron’s name, forced us into a new role and name of Aces and Eights.
Within the ranks of the Aces, we welcomed all who shared our belief that the UEE Navy fell short in both action and justice. Our foundation is rooted in the unwavering commitment to rectify the failures of the past and forge a new path in the cosmic frontier.
To honor our origins, we adopted the motto of the 88th squadron—a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the unfulfilled potential that spurred our formation. The Aces and Eights stands as a testament to resilience, adaptability, and a steadfast commitment to justice in the vast expanse of the stars.
