Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
-Leonardo da Vinci
Space is an incredible beast. It reaches impossible speeds, depths and distances. It cannot be beaten with the strongest fist, the sharpest knife or the fastest bullet.
In United Interstellar Space Command, the composites that make up the stars flows deep within our veins. That mighty force is the lifeblood of the greatest Navy ever to explore the farthest reaches of space. It shapes our Nations citizens from every corner of the galaxy into Sailors with the courage to protect liberty back home. Bonding us with the commitment to serve with honor. The cold reaches of space propels every one of our men and women to defeat or defend. To comfort or to awe. To victory or to the rescue.
We are the United Interstellar Space Command. And we are all Forged by the stars.
