| | |
| Together we fight, united by a bond -<br />
| |
| A bond of courage,<br />
| |
| A bond of daring,<br />
| |
| A bond of friendship<br />
| |
| Without my wingman I am nothing.<br />
| |
| Without me my wingman is nothing.<br />
| |
| Only together can we achieve<br />
| |
| What our cause has called us to complete<br />
| |
| For our beliefs we fight<br />
| |
| Against the menace that has risen.<br />
| |
| My wingman is my guardian,<br />
| |
| And I am my wingman's guardian.<br />
| |
| With my wingman by my side,<br />
| |
| I will not fear death or destruction,<br />
| |
| I will not feel the eyes of hate resting upon us.<br />
| |
| I will fly my ship strong and straight,<br />
| |
| Never doubting that my wingman is there to protect me.

| == Behind the Scenes ==
| |
| The first, and only, printing of this creed has been in ''Victory Streak'', alongside "An Open Letter from Ralgha nar Hhallas". It has no official name.
| |
| | |
| It is structurally similar to those used by the various branches of the United States Military. The fourth and fifth lines, ''"Without my wingman I am nothing / Without me my wingman is nothing"'', are remiscent of the sixth and seventh lines of the U.S. Marine Corps' ''Rifleman's Creed'', in particular.
