Description
The Galactic Empire is always testing new starships, starfighters, vehicles, and weapons. Sometimes, these tests are quite hazardous, and the imperial top officers aren't always willing to risk their human test pilots. This is where they use Hazardous Situation Test Pilots for these more dangerous tests. Hazardous Situation Test Pilots are often prisoners who are forced to carry out these dangerous tests. What isn't lost on most of the public is that these test pilots are always non-humans, and that the mortality rate among them is often as high as 99%. Often the Empire uses these poor souls for the most dangerous tests until the prototypes are mostly perfected. It is only then that the Empire uses human test pilots, and only for a showy flight test for the grand moffs who would approve the prototype for production. The engineers and designers often make no mention of all the non-humans who were killed to perfect the prototype.

Some Grand Moffs often disposed of prisoners by turning them into Hazardous Situation Test Pilots. These Grand Moffs would often give these prisoners safety gear that was actually non-functional mock ups. Such Grand Moffs would invite their friends and make a sadistic spectacle of disposing of condemned prisoners. It needn't be said that more than a few members of the Rebel Alliance have a personal vendetta against the Empire because they lost relatives this way...particularly among the non-human members of the Rebel Alliance.
