StarCitizen:Jaso Iger
More actions
Captain Jaso Iger was the first commanding officer of Squadron 78.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
He realized that he could use the brand new spacecraft he had been entrusted with to ingratiate his team to the weary base personnel. For the first three months of training, he would commission one of his pilots to covertly fly luxury foodstuffs and other items from the planet’s southern regions back to the base. Hailed by all for providing these creature comforts, the phrase “having a 78” briefly came to use amongst navy starmen as an expression for having a lavish meal. This all came to a halt when the StarCitizen: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 order was followed, sending the illicit goods stored in the bomb bay falling around the airbase: two tons of fresh Thorshu crab legs. With that, the squadron’s name was established and a three hundred year legacy of seafood-oriented intra-service jokes was born.<ref name=":0" />
