The 99th Skulls appeared solely in two missions during the FreeSpace 2 campaign. From what there can be gathered, the 99th Skulls were an elite squadron, probably used by the SOC. They were among the first squadrons to use the GTF Erinyes and the UD-8 Kayser primary weapons.
Quite certainly one of the best squadrons in the GTVA, the 99th is home to some of the top pilots in the GTVA, including Christopher Snipes, Xinny, Zero, and Alpha 1. The Skulls participated in many high-risk SOC Missions, such as in Love the Treason..., ...But Hate the Traitor, As Lightning Fall, and Into the Lion's Den. Alpha 1 led a strike wing of SOC pilots in the rescue of Snipes in the NTT Grall.
It is uncertain whether or not Snipes is the 99th Skulls' squadron commander, although the fact that he led the wing of 99th Skulls in Into the Lion's Den suggests evidence for this.
Misc notes
The craft of this squadron were designated as Skull Alpha and Skull Beta in one of the FreeSpace 2 missions.
