The Wingman's Creed is a creed for pilots of the Terran Confederation Space Force. It is printed on the rear cover of the TCSN Academy Simulator Handbook. The creed was also printed in Victory Streak immediately following From One of Our Own.
Text
Together we fight, united by a bond -- A bond of courage, A bond of daring, A bond of friendship. Without my wingman I am nothing, Without me my wingman is nothing, Only together can we achieve What our cause has called us to Complete. For our beliefs we fight Against the menace that has risen. My wingman is my guardian, And I am my wingman's guardian. With my wingman by my side, I will not fear death or destruction, I will not feel the eyes of hate Resting upon us. I will fly my ship strong and straight Never doubting that my wingman Is there to protect me.
