The Dimensional Submarine UX-01 (UX-01, UX-01), nicknamed the Wolf of Subspace,[3] is the first dimensional submarine ever developed by Garmillas capable of operating not only in normal outer space, but also between different dimensions. Its captained by Lt. Colonel Wolf Flakken and his derelict crew known collectively as the "Warmongers".
History[]
Development and commissioning[]

The UX-01 was developed during the Desler administration by the Ministry of Armaments' Weapons Development Agency. The cost for its research and development, especially for the cutting-edge subspace torpedoes that served as its main weapon, was so high that the project was put under the direct command of the Eternal Supreme Leader of Garmillas, Abelt Desler, and continued under strict scrutiny. It's theorized that Desler showed personal interest in the submarine and endorsed its development. During the initial testing for dimensional diving at the Weapons Development Agency, numerous prototype ships were lost in subspace, causing the UX-01 to gain the nickname "coffin from another dimension."[3]
The ship's negative reputation made it difficult to find the necessary crew. However, when veteran Lt. Colonel Wolf Flakken took command of the submarine, many soldiers who admired him volunteered to join. UX-01 was officially commissioned under the Subspace Combat Experimental Group,[4] and its existence was kept under military secrecy.[3] The submarine was secretly deployed to various military campaigns, and achieved considerable results.[5]
The Great Garmillas War and the Civil War[]

During Great Garmillas War, Colonel General Elk Domel requested special permission to use the ship in his campaign against the earth battleship Yamato to admiral Ditz, commander of the Astro Fleet. The UX-01 was temporarily moved to Domel's 6th Armored Space Division,[6] and engaged in battle with the Earthlings during the Encounter with the Garmillas Dimensional Submarine and the Battle of the Rainbow Star Cluster.[7][8] In May 2199 the UX-01 acted as Desler's escort as the Supreme Leader faked his own death to expose marshall Herm Zoellik's coup attempt. Following the fall of Desler's regime, the UX-01 sided with the new Garmillas provisional government. In September 2199, it battled with a group of Desler loyalits headed by Major General Gremdt Goer during the Battle with Desler in Subspace.[9]
Part of the Dimensional Dive Strike Group[]

By June 2203, UX-01 had become part of the Dimensional Dive Strike Group, a fleet of four dimensional submarines under Flakken. The froup participated in the Golem Assault Battle, where they helped used an experimental piece of technology to allow Yamato to perform dimensional diving, allowing her to reach the center of the Ark of Destruction.[10] Following the end of the Garmillas Civil War the UX-01, alongside the rest of the Dimensional Dive Strike Group, were asked to assist former Supreme Leader Abelt Desler in his search for a new homeworld for the Garmillan people.[11]

In August of 2205,[12] UX-01 participated in the Planet_Galman_Liberation_Operation, launching an offensive against the Bolar Federation fleet stationed on planet Garmann before it could take off.[13] Two months later,[12] UX-01 and the rest of its task force fought in the Iscandar Incident. They played an important role during the Immigrant Fleet Rescue Operation when they lead a rescue operation to assist the 100,000 Garmillas citizens that had remained stuck on Iscandar after the destruction of their homeworld. The UX-01 survived the conflict and returned to Garmann with the rest of Desler's Fleet.[14]
The Warmongers[]

"Warmongers" is the name given to the crewmembers of the UX-01. The first members of the crew were officers who respected and admired Lt. Colonel Flakken, while other subsequent additions, such as Executive Officer Gol Heini and Yahbu Sukelji, were personally chosen by Flakken himself.[3][5][9]

Note[]
- All Dimensional Submarine designs including the UX-01 took inspiration from the U-boats which were the backbone of the North Atlantic Fleet of the Nazi Navy (Kriegsmarine).
- The character designs of the Warmongers, with rough beards and torn clothing, is based on the appearance of War World II-era submarine crews, and is also meant to hint at the characters' lifestyle.[3]
