999th Test Squadron

The 999th Test Squadron (Squadron 999, "the Wreckless") is a special unit of the [United Empire of Earth](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth)(UEE) Navy dedicated to the evaluation of new and experimental spacecraft and vehicles. Originally formed to assist [Roberts Space Industries](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RWwZDn2Xrw-rsi) (RSI) with testing the [Zeus](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VYLd4WxODo-zeus) short-range spacecraft, the 999th was founded by Amecanio [Navy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy) test pilot Michelle Saleno, the first [Human](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) to quantum travel beyond the orbit of Jupiter (Sol V). With the 999th's help, RSI overhauled the Zeus' design and released it in SEY 2140. When the [United Nations of Earth](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R4ZQpY83oO-united-nations-of-earth) (UNE) came into existence in 2380, the 999th was officially incorporated into the new military structure with their 999th designation intact.
