'''Star Flight''' began as an exploratory offshoot of [[Crucible:Watchstar|Watchstar]], formed after [[Crucible:The Gauntlet|Gauntlet]] discovered a massive disturbance in the hyperdimensional field inside the [[Crucible:Probability Gate|Probability Gate]] in the [[Crucible:Watchstar Mansion|Watchstar]] laboratory. Concerned that the disturbance might threaten Earth, Gauntlet assembled a small team to investigate.

Calling themselves '''Star Flight''', [[Crucible:The Gauntlet|Gauntlet]], [[Crucible:Inferno|Inferno]], and [[Crucible:Sentinel|Sentinel]] entered the Gate and began exploring realities beyond Earth’s known universe. Their journey led them to the interdimensional empire known as [[Crucible:The Hundred Worlds|the Hundred Worlds]], a vast realm of alternate worlds, strange civilizations, and ancient political rivalries.

The three heroes quickly ingratiated themselves with [[Crucible:Xandarra|Empress Xandarra]], ruler of the Hundred Worlds. Joined by [[Crucible:Wildcat|Wildcat]], captain of the Empress’ guard, they became adventurers, envoys, and defenders within the interdimensional empire. During this period, Gauntlet was named a Knight of the Hundred Worlds and received nanotech enhancements known as '''Nanocore''', transforming him into a true superhuman.

A civil war eventually erupted within the Hundred Worlds. The Empress Xandarra was deposed by cruel rebels and forced into exile. Star Flight pledged to one day return her to her throne, escaping the empire alongside Xandarra aboard the stolen interdimensional cruiser ''[[Crucible:Retribution|Retribution]]''.

The massive disturbance that first drew the team into the Probability Gate was ultimately revealed to be the godlike being known as [[Crucible:The Terror|the Terror]], moving toward Earth. Star Flight was unable to stop or even meaningfully affect the Terror, but they returned to Earth in time to assist the rest of [[Crucible:Watchstar|Watchstar]] in the battle against it.

Afterward, the team continued to make further explorations into distant dimensions. Though no longer a standing team in the ordinary sense, Star Flight still bands together from time to time when interdimensional threats arise.

== Legacy ==

Star Flight occupies a unusual place in [[Crucible:Watchstar|Watchstar]] history. It began as a small exploratory mission, became a band of interdimensional adventurers, and ultimately returned to Earth bearing warnings of the Terror.

The team’s adventures opened Watchstar’s world to the politics of the Hundred Worlds and established Gauntlet’s long-standing connection to Xandarra, the ''Retribution'', and the wider multiverse.
