After an incident on 61 Cygnus in 2197 when a rookie pilot selected the wrong
gear when docking with the main central reactor and reduced half the planet to
molten lava, Gal-Corp decided that a special training facility was needed to
provide an elite corps of pilots for the advanced military skimmers used in
colonisation and reconnaisance work.

The Galcorp Academy for Advanced Skimmer Pilots (GASP) was founded in 2213
to meet this requirement. With an intake of over a hundred would be skimmer
pilots a year, only a few meet the exacting requirement of flying and combat
skills.

In order to graduate from the Academy cadets must complete 20 missions, grouped
in five levels of four, successfully.
