Before Aegis started designing the bomber, researchers performed extensive interviews with military pilots to understand what was lacking in the contemporary bombers of the time. This pilot-centric approach drove the design decisions of what became the Retaliator; a heavy ordnance weapons platform capable of handling both fighters and ground targets. The ship's introduction coincided with the creation of the R27HE "Hull-Shredder" torpedo, which had been rushed to production by the [[StarCitizen:UPE]] Military's R&D Dept. During the [[StarCitizen:Battle of Idris IV]] on 30 September 2544, the new torpedoes began to fail, either exploding in their tubes or failing to arm when fired.		* Since its introduction in 2544<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI\|url=galactapedia/article/0qnN6j2Gq7-retaliator\|text=Retaliator on Galactipedia}}</ref> at the height of the [[StarCitizen:First Tevarin War]], the Retaliator has had a distinguished, if conflicted, history.

He began calling danger-close bombing runs from the fleet's Retaliator bombers while he organized ambush points with the surviving soldiers.

	* During the First Tevarin War, the [[StarCitizen:999th Test Squadron]] were the first to test variants of the Retaliator. Some in command demanded a rush on the needed ships going into active service immediately, but (thanks to his heroics at the Battle of Idris IV) a then Colonel Ivar Messer had enough clout to advise that the variants' deployment be held until the 999 had signed off on them. Historians credit this move with saving hundreds of pilots’ lives. A fatally flawed power transfer unit was discovered and fixed during the testing process.<ref>{{Cite RSI\|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15330-Portfolio-999th-Test-Squadron\|text=Portfolio: 999th Test Squadron}}</ref>		* During the First Tevarin War, the [[StarCitizen:999th Test Squadron]] were the first to test variants of the Retaliator.

This frivolity came to a halt when the Retaliator transporting contraband suffered a flame-out during a landing approach. The tower quickly ordered the crew to dump their fuel and dummy munitions in preparation for a crash landing.

	* The [[StarCitizen:42nd Squadron]] came to fame during the [[StarCitizen:Battle of Centauri]] in 2610, at the culmination of the Second Tevarin War. They used ambush tactics against [[StarCitizen:Corath'thal]]'s fleet by floating dead in their Retaliators near the [[StarCitizen:Jump Point]] to [[StarCitizen:Elysium]], using it as a bottleneck. Captain [[StarCitizen:Alexandra Dunlevy]] then ordered all ships to take out the enemy's [[StarCitizen:Phalanx Shields]]. The Tevarin were quick to send out fighters to deal with the foe suddenly in their midst, but the damage was already done. With a significant portion of the Tevarin defensive capabilities then disabled, the UEE carriers renewed their attack, cementing a UEE victory.<ref>{{Cite RSI\|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13970-This-Day-In-History-Battle-For-Centauri\|text=This Day in History: Battle for Centauri}}</ref>		* The [[StarCitizen:42nd Squadron]] came to fame during the [[StarCitizen:Battle of Centauri]] in 2610, at the culmination of the Second Tevarin War.

On landing, officers were taken away in restraints and enlisted men were confined to quarters on base. The squadron spent roughly 18 months in the stockade and then were freed as heroes by the incoming government under [[StarCitizen:Erin Toi]].

	* During the First Tevarin War, the [[StarCitizen:999th Test Squadron]] were the first to test variants of the Retaliator. Some in command demanded a rush on the needed ships going into active service immediately, but (thanks to his heroics at the Battle of Idris IV) a then Colonel Ivar Messer had enough clout to advise that the variants' deployment be held until the 999 had signed off on them. Historians credit this move with saving hundreds of pilots’ lives.

They used ambush tactics against [[StarCitizen:Corath'thal]]'s fleet by floating dead in their Retaliators near the [[StarCitizen:Jump Point]] to [[StarCitizen:Elysium]], using it as a bottleneck. Captain [[StarCitizen:Alexandra Dunlevy]] then ordered all ships to take out the enemy's [[StarCitizen:Phalanx Shields]]. The Tevarin were quick to send out fighters to deal with the foe suddenly in their midst, but the damage was already done.

The commander of the battle group, Admiral [[StarCitizen:Lorna Gestala]] intervened, giving a final declaration for the 78th to annihilate the target. Cahillier ordered her group to fire, but targeted an asteroid beyond the agro center. The moon’s inhabitants watched the torpedoes sail harmlessly overhead and obliterate the distant target. The bombers made the long, silent flight home to face certain court martial and inevitable execution. On landing, officers were taken away in restraints and enlisted men were confined to quarters on base. The squadron spent roughly 18 months in the stockade and then were freed as heroes by the incoming government under [[StarCitizen:Erin Toi]].
