==Actions==<br />
The 134th Barracudas squadron, being an evaluation unit, tests weapons and reports their efficiency to superiors, often subjectively.<br />
<br />
When the NTF forces were withdrawing from Polaris and Regulus, the Barracudas squadron was assigned to the nebular theatre to test the new [[GTM TAG-A|Target Acquisition and Guidance missiles]] and the [[GTF Pegasus|Pegasus stealth fighter]]. <br><br />
The Barracudas faced some Shivan resistance while escorting the convoy which was carrying the protoypes. The convoy ships suffered no casualties and the test could commence as planned. <br><br />
The pilots who were assigned to test the TAG-A missiles faced Shivan targets and got overwhelmed and outgunned. Though one pilot survived the engagement, by the assistance of the GTCv Warspite.<br />
<br />
The next step was to test the [[GTF Pegasus|Pegasus fighter]] which also did not proceed exactly as planned. The [[GTD Aquitaine]] was ordered to withdrawn and pilots from the Barracudas squadron escorted the command ship until she made it back to [[Gamma Draconis]].<br />
----<br />
==Speculative, non-canon==<br />
It is unknown whether the Barracudas tested the [[AWACS]] ship, the [[GTA Charybdis]] or not. It is, however, pretty sure the Barracudas did not have permission to test the [[GTF Erinyes]] or the [[GTW UD-8 Kayser|UD-8 Kayser]] in combat.<br />
