The 36th has its origin in one of the most embarrassing military disasters in Earth history. In 2571, the battle carrier UEES Olympus pursued a band of pirates and rebels home to their hiding place in the undeveloped Nul system. The carrier’s complement vastly outmatched their foe, but the admiral in charge wanted in on the kill personally. He ordered the Olympus into a pass that was too close to the system’s fifth planet, Ashana. The Olympus was caught in the planet’s gravity, impacted on the world’s surface and lost with only a few survivors.

abstract	The 36th has its origin in one of the most embarrassing military disasters in Earth history. In 2571, the battle carrier UEES Olympus pursued a band of pirates and rebels home to their hiding place in the undeveloped Nul system. The carrier’s complement vastly outmatched their foe, but the admiral in charge wanted in on the kill personally. He ordered the Olympus into a pass that was too close to the system’s fifth planet, Ashana. The Olympus was caught in the planet’s gravity, impacted on the world’s surface and lost with only a few survivors. Those survivors included the carrier’s Combat Air Patrol: four Stiletto interceptors, the immediate predecessor to the Gladius, belonging to the carrier’s defensive complement, plus two others who managed a scrambled launch as the ship went down. Taking quick advantage of their unbelievable shift in fortune, the rebel forces rallied to eliminate the remaining ships and lifeboats. The battle that followed was spectacular: the six light fighters were able to hold off their attackers for almost an hour, scoring an astounding 37 confirmed space-to-space kills, including a pocket destroyer, with only their surviving energy weapons. All six UEEN fighters were ultimately eliminated, as were all who escaped the initial crash, but the black box recorder belonging to Lt. JG Jasmine Tuttle was ultimately recovered by an enterprising pirate and sold to her family on Earth. Seeing an opportunity to cover the embarrassing and costly loss of the Olympus, Naval High Command’s propaganda machine broadcast the recording and made martyrs of the fighter pilots. The result was a series of patriotic advertisements about doing your duty, a melodramatic government-sponsored holovid (Star Heroes) featuring an array of D-list actors as stereotypical fighter pilots and the establishment of the 36th Fighter Squadron in honor of the pilots who fought the last stand at Nul.
