INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Kurt Doerfeld Academy of Advanced Military Aviation, also known as the USG Military Aviation Academy. Many nations claim to have a top notch flight school that will train up the best military pilots known, but few have had the resources, both in expertise and technology, to match what the USG has been able to collect for this institution. Seemingly revolutionary in concept, it is in fact, quite elementary in the process of military aviation education. A gathering of minds, professionals, eager students that cross all national boundaries and a wider array of aircraft than any one nation could assemble.

Our flight academy is very discerning in the pilot candidates we accept, as well as the flight instructors we employ. Students should already be proficient in basic flight skills, aircraft maintenance, or other skill sets they are looking to improve upon, but are being sent to us to be more fully rounded in their skill set. Our students attend the USGMAA to enter the top echelon of pilots, air and ground crew, and other air service personnel.

The fact that our air fleet has been painstakingly collected from across the Multiverse at great time and expense is why we are not keen to see one of our well-maintained, valuable aircraft nosedive to the deck due to the human error of an under-experienced pilot. We have collected rare, unique and top generation air superiority, multirole and ground support/attack planes so that our pilot candidates can experience simulated combat both against and within the cockpit of the widest selection of dominating birds in the sky today.

The pilot candidates spend several hours in cockpit simulators and classroom instruction before they are even allowed to take to the skies. The aircraft and cockpit simulators are installed with one of the top combat simulation software systems, the NEDACT suite, courtesy of Schwyz Defense Systems. This software enables the pilots to simulate all manner of combat munitions and is constantly updated.

The idea for the Academy was born from the minds of Intexa Director Xavier Marchand and General Nelson Tell one fateful night as a way to supplement the operating and training budget for the USG Security Corporation. The idea would not see fruition for some years due to the sheer overwhelming cost of acquiring such an air fleet, as well as other practical concerns.

It was brought to the USG board after Director Marchand had been able to discreetly secure the necessary investment capital from several high profile magnates through his vast network. Coupled with some contract profits, this funding would go towards the acquisition of the aircraft for the project and recruitment of top flight instructors from across the Multiverse.
Not to mention, the amount of quality support personnel to run such a facility was crucial. Most importantly, the immense air base with full facilities and numerous runways that would be needed to accommodate a top notch military aviation academy to train the world's leading military pilots was paramount in a successful program.

An additional footnote and closing of another chapter took place in relation to the funding of the project. The Raven's Pride Regiment, which consisted of 90% Spartanians, as well as 10% other Insula Ferans, were released from their contract as the fourth USG Regiment. The lead up had been a considerably brutal, undisclosed contract in which the Ravens had suffered a 34% casualty rate, decimating their ranks. General Tell finally acquiesced to the demands of the Spartanian exiled leadership to cut the Ravens loose from their original contract, but under two conditions. One, the Ravens Pride, collectively or as individuals, would agree never to enter conflict or contract against the USG. Two, the Spartanian government in exile would remit a modest undisclosed sum for an early break in their contract and to recoup maintenance and training costs. This third source of funding was redirected to the establishment of the Military Aviation Academy.

Kurt Doerfeld

Leutnant Kurt Doerfeld, at the start of his lifelong career as a pilot.

The Academy is named for one of the most famous commandants of the Uli Schwyz Air Wing. Kurt Doerfeld was born the son of innkeepers in Prussia. He was a top officer and ace in the Luftwaffe during the Great War. He was one of the select few pilots to fly the ME-262 jet fighter in the last days of the war, becoming a top jet pioneer in an age where few existed. After that war, he returned to find his family and home destroyed by the Red occupiers. The young Doerfeld then, for a limited time, flew covert missions for NATO against communist forces during the Cold War.

Kurt eventually left his homeland and found his way to the Uli-Schwyz (Early name for the USG) home base island in the Madurin Sea. He was tasked by the organization leadership to help modernize the Air Wing into the modern jet age. Many of the pilots and fellow officers he would serve with in the Uli-Schwyz Air Wing had been former foes during the Great War. Their bonds with him would develop a lasting affect on his personal relations for the rest of his life. Flying on such infamous contracts as Crescent Bay, Red China and others, he helped develop the foundation for the strategy and modern jet fighter tactics still in use by the USG Air Wing today.

He took top commandant position of the Uli-Schwyz Air Wing in 1964. Colonel Doerfeld retired from service in 1979, shortly after the Krasny-Volny contract. Good friend and executive officer Iberian Diego Jose Sandoval took over the Air Wing upon his departure. Doerfeld dedicated the rest of his life to humanitarian causes to offset both the terrible atrocities of his former homeland and the pain and suffering caused by violent conflict he saw engulf the world for the last 40 years of his life.

STAFF AND STUDENTS

Only the best fighter, logistical/support pilots, air crew, and ground support are accepted, with a mandatory letter of recommendation from a superior officer or high ranking government official and experience that would put whole other national air forces to shame.
As mentioned, we are very discerning in our selection of instructors and staff, picking from the top applicants in the Multiverse. Our current instructors have the combined sum of over a century of combat flight operations experience.

Tuition for the academy for a fighter pilot starts at $2.7 million NSD with an upfront payment of ⅔ and no refunds beyond the first week’s evaluation. Ground support crew and other personnel training starts at $1.6 million. Students found lacking in basic military flight skills will be dropped from the program and sent home, forfeiting their deposits. Additional fees depend on the courses registered to attend. (There are some scholarships and grants available. Please inquire with the bursar about these programs). While tuition might seem steep, keep in mind that we train pilots to have a comprehensive expertise upon graduation and with a custom tailored, full experience not available to most national military training programs. Of course, pilots in training utilize a full, widely-varied air fleet unparalleled by any national air force and most private organizations.

THE ACADEMY LOCATIONS

There are three actual locations of the Academy. The prime location is a small chain of islands in the Middle Waters known as the Gaulic Territory of Cinq Freres. They are leased from the government of Terre des Gaules for an undisclosed amount for an undisclosed set of terms. The Gauls continue to maintain many naval facilities on the islands and they have strategic value as a refueling midpoint between the Madurin and Tavlyria continents. The Gauls continue to maintain the ports and while they have decreased their presence, they are able to dramatically ramp up their presence in record time should a new conflict arise in the region.

The main instruction, dormitory, storage, fuel and hangar facilities and airfield are on the island of St. Emile in the Cinqfreres Archipelago in the Middle Waters, with other satellite facilities on the other surrounding islands of St. Pierre, St. Roland and St. Aubelle. The remaining island of St. Xander is strictly residential.
The current residents in the affected areas were worked with in order to see if they could be relocated, most to Gaul, or if they would be willing to enlist as support staff for the facilities. Some were agreeable, and others have resisted and protested. In very few cases did residents need to be forcibly relocated, but it has happened. Due to the terms of pending legal agreements, the USGSC must publicly disclose these issues.

Two additional leased locations are to be utilized by the Doerfeld Aviation Academy. One is in the Arctic of Northeastern Tavlyria. The other in the deserts of Southwestern Tavlyria. The USG negotiated with two governments to establish and lease these satellite locations, smaller in scope than the island chain base and surrounding waters, but still adequately maintained and stocked with supplies and personnel. Therefore, a trifecta of perfect training terrain was achieved with desert/mountains, arctic/tundra/mountains and ocean and islands.

What is known as Delta Epsilon School is in an undisclosed location in Southwestern Tavlyria, in respect for the host government which leases the facilities in the desert to the USGSC. A large amount of storage is given over to the bulk of the aircraft of the Academy air fleet. At this location, in various phases of their training, pilot candidates can train over rocky desert terrain and through canyons and immense wadis at Delta Epsilon School.

The Alpha Rho Chi School is another leased location based in a Northeastern Tavlyrian nation that experiences Arctic conditions for much of the year. Pilot candidates fly over valleys, low mountains and frigid tundra during training and mock combat. Due to the conditions, the least amount of aircraft are housed here at Alpha Rho Chi School. Just a minimum amount of the most sturdy aircraft are housed there for immediate training purposes.

Besides the security provided by the host nations at the two mainland sites, all three sites are defended by advanced air defense systems, sensors, radars, minefields, USG commando foot patrols, and constantly rotating air patrols consisting of two flights of pilot candidates, which counts as training, and one flight of instructors.

---

While there are three sites for the academy, there are also two divisions or schools, with a third one in development.

• The first school, which has the most demand for placement already, is air combat school, which mainly involves advanced instruction in air to air combat, interception, and escort operations (protection of air support assets).
  
• The second school is ground/close air support, and ground attack. Pilots and air crew are trained in both the protection and support of friendly ground units and the destruction of hostile ones.
  
• The third school, still in development, will be for rotor attack and support pilots.

THE AIR FLEET

We utilize aircraft from several of the top military manufacturers across the multiverse, including Covenant, Lyran, Wolf, LauzanExport, Haruspex IA, Realpolitik Arms, Royal Marquesan, Allanean Defense Exports, and Scwherpunkt; as well as various other manufacturers across The Americas, East and Central Asia, The Levant, Africa and Europa.

The aircraft used, except for some in the service of our ground attack/support school, are turbo to supersonic jet, with several in the air superiority school being stealth. For all the branch schools, almost all are 4-4.5th generation or newer, made after 1970, with few exceptions. Those exceptions are rare, but are usually made because an older aircraft is still in heavy operational use by several nations and in still serves in excellent capacity as a ground support aircraft.

Considerable time and effort was put into compiling, organizing and ‘purchasing’ these aircraft. All RL aircraft featured are used with parody/fair use laws in mind. RL aircraft descriptions were re-written specifically to avoid plagiarization from the original resource sites. If you suspect such, please TG me before reporting. No actual monetary benefit is gained from use of the images and descriptions of these aerospace products. The aircraft are assumed to be made by some alternate multiverse variation of RL companies and their originating nations and assumed to be purchased in above board fashion unless otherwise stated. For example: Through third hand parties.

All NS aircraft were purchased from storefronts or through telegram or DM to the corresponding nations. NS players of those nations gave confirmation via a waiver through telegram that they had no problem with the usage of their intellectual property in such a manner. The waiver was heavily suggested by moderation. Screenshots of the waiver confirmations are available upon request. Thank you for your understanding and reading this before making an erroneous moderation report.

Lastly, while I had RL military experience, it was not as a pilot or aircraft designer, nor is military aviation my primary focus on NS. Go easy please! TG advice is welcome, spam to the thread is not.

AIR COMBAT/AIR SUPERIORITY SCHOOL AIRCRAFT FLEET

2x F-14 Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

Designed for dual purposes as an air superiority fighter and fleet interceptor, the F-14 excelled at both, as well as other tasks like escort missions. It’s twin tail design and ground breaking fuselage and wing design offered it stability in air combat and ground support roles. It was made to carry the best armaments of the era. Two seats allow for a pilot and navigation/weapons specialist. The aerodynamics of the airframe are renowned for being the best fielded in the skies at that time.

While 3rd and 4th gen jet fighters could hardly be considered air superiority by today’s standards, the Tomcat deserves a spot on the list for what it was able to achieve for a long time.

4x X-16 Phoenix Manufactured by Blackstone Aviation; Port Ember

The X-16 Phoenix is a Port Emberian single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth multirole combat aircraft that is intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. It is also able to provide electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, and it can be launched from land or aircraft carriers.

The Port Ember Security Forces considers this aircraft to be their primary combat aircraft, as it is able to completely dominate the airspace of a region, as it is designed to engage in air to air warfare, ground target suppression, reconnaissance, electronic warfare and suppression of enemy air defense missions.

The X-16 has seen action in The Ashmore Conflict: 2015; The Borzinian Civil War: 2016; The Port Arthurian Crises: 2017; The Iarann Grudaidh Invasion Attempt: 2019; and The Iarann Grudaidh - Geonal War: 2020 - 2021.

3x F-15 Eagle Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

The Eagle is a light weight, high speed, tactical fighter with a larger profile, but better armament than many of its contemporaries. It has been in the service of several democratic nations that were in unison with the North American cause and the workhorse of many air forces.

4x F-16 Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

Introduced in the 1970’s during a rush for companies to submit a bid for a lightweight fighter for the North American power, the F-16 Falcon, also called the Viper, was a solid air superiority fighter that evolved into a multi-role fighter over time with unparalleled stall control and high maneuverability. It has served in several conflicts and like its cousin, the F-15 Eagle, it has been in the service of dozens of Western democratic air forces, until recently being replaced by the F-22 and F-35.

The F-16 is as indelible to modern 20th century to early 21st century warfare history as the Kalashnikov assault rifle and has been represented in many of the major conflicts of the era.

2x YA 42 Corsaire Air Supremacy Fighter Manufactured by Lyran Arms; Lyras

The YA-42 Corsaire is a generation 5 fighter jet, and incorporates stealth technology, advanced avionics, and various technologies that allow it to manoeuver past it's stall point, which, for most previous generations, had been impossible. The forward swept wing and canard configuration, as well as the 3-D thrust vectoring give this aircraft a distinct advantage in dog fighting, allowing it to out-turn and out-maneuver almost any craft in the sky. At a distance, however, the Corsaire can use it's stealthy design to keep a low profile while it fires missiles from it's internal bay. Alternatively, where stealth is of minimal importance, even more ordinance may be fired from external hard points. The avionics suite is entirely new, and takes full advantage of theOiseau Futé CIP, which will be explain fully later in the document. The OF Central Integrated Processor is a system specifically built to grow, with only about 70% of each of the two processors used in the baseline product.

Because of the unusual stresses of the Forward Swept wing, the airframe is made out of composites that are much stronger than regular metals. The YA-42 also makes heavy use of the new techniques in titanium casting, which also have the advantage of also reducing the amount of time needed to produce an aircraft. Finally, the fuselage also takes advantage of carbon-fiber composites, which offer great strength to weight ratios.

MiG-29 Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

Originally developed in the early 1980’s as an air superiority fighter in order to counter the likes of the F-15 and F-16, the MiG-29 later evolved to become a multi-role fighter taking on several different kinds of missions to prove its continued usefulness into the 21st century. Many former Soviet Bloc allies and client nations still employ the MiG-29 and there has been a big push to convert many of the aircraft over to the MiG-29 SMT, a costly, but necessary upgrade that lands it firmly into the age of 4.5 and 5th generation jet fighters.

3x Rafale Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers

Following disagreements with partner nations and companies, and a dissatisfaction with the Euro Typhoon not measuring up to their requirements, the Franco powers, including Gaul, branched off to make their own delta winged, canard multi-role fighter to become the backbone of their upgraded air force.

The Rafale has seen extensive combat over several desert hot spots, among many other conflict areas. These models were purchased at discount from Terre des Gaules

2x Su-30 Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

A later Soviet version of the Su-27 with more of an air superiority role in mind, but still very multi-role capable.

2x Su-30MKI Manufactured by two of our former Soviet Bloc and South Asian suppliers

A Soviet licensed variant, but with Franco and Israeli systems components designed to be the primary fighter of a South Asian Air Force. The South Asian power began to indigenously develop the model, taking over from their former Soviet supplier in the mid-aughts. The MKI is a long range fighter with twin fins and canards that help it be very agile in the sky. Numerous upgrades in recent years allowing it to take on top notch armaments on its hardpoints with better control systems have made it a top contender for long range engagements.

2x Su-33 Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

A carrier launching capable naval fleet defense interceptor version of the Su-27/30 series.

3x Typhoon Manufactured and jointly developed by our Euro suppliers

The flagship air superiority fighter for a number of Euro powers, the Typhoon was jointly developed in order to serve as Europe's answer to the need for a top fighter that wasn't reliant on North American parts or prices. It has been in service for a little while now and performed admirably agile in both its primary capacity and as a multi-role platform.

6x JAS 39 Gripen NG Manufactured by one of our Nordic suppliers

Developed to replace the Viggen and other Euro fighters, the Gripen is an incredibly versatile aircraft that can carry out a multitude of missions (Yes, the very definition of a multi-role fighter) and has been adapted by quite a few nations.

It has kept the delta wing design that Saab has used for all its fighters, but significant advancements in avionics and weapons systems and the power plant in the later versions, including the last, the Super Gripen or Gripen NG, have kept this aircraft in the top ten.

Neu Engollon was an early adapter of the Gripen, retitling it the NEF-39, in keeping with their defense aircraft nomenclature. The Gripen saw significant action in peacekeeping efforts in Tavlyria with the NEDAF, and it still has a place in their stable, although they have shifted from upgrading their Gripens to bringing on more Riysian and other foreign made aircraft. A handful are still flown by reserve units of the NEDAF.

5x J-10 Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

The J-10, like many modern aircraft, has a delta wing and canards design. In fact, it is quite obvious that many other systems and features have been borrowed from other popular fighters in development around that time, such as the MiG-29, F-16 and IAI Levi. This led to many accusations of defense industry espionage leveled against the Asian power, much of it well founded.

Despite borrowing so heavily from other designs, something didn’t translate, as the J-10 is notoriously difficult to maneuver. If its flight control systems are just the least bit out of calibration, it can lead to potential catastrophe.

It is a requirement of USGSC pilots, who are already experienced pilots from their own national air forces before they join the USGSC Air Wing, that they must clock in one flight in a J-10 in order to test their ability to handle an aircraft under such extreme pressure.
Needless to say, the original FCS has been removed and replaced with NEDACS, a custom system developed by Schwyz Defense Systems that has many more failsafes built in.

3x F-22 Raptor Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

Touted as the future main tactical fighter for the nation by its North American manufacturer, the Raptor had a lot to live up to and in many ways, it did deliver until production was shifted to the F-35, the next ‘future main tactical fighter’ in 2011.

The F-22 ended up being a very costly program, which made the North American military shy away from it, cutting back on its initial projected order. Earlier versions needed intensive upgrades, which added to the overall cost. However, the cost savings by switching to the F-35 Lightning II remains to be seen, as the Lightning II is now the most expensive fighter aircraft ever in existence.

The fully upgraded F-22 does perform well, eschewing the popular canard design as most North American models have, and putting more of the onus of maneuverability on the flight control systems. Other than its successor, the EW, communications, and radar systems of the Raptor are unparalleled by most, if not all, of the 5th generation fighters out there.

The three Raptors in USGSC possession were obtained at considerable cost through a third party that was able to get around the North American military export ban.

2x J-31 Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

The Shenyang J-31 is a twin engine, 5th generation stealth multi-role fighter that was developed by the Asian power to compete with the F-22 and Su-57 in the modern skies. There are a few variants, with these being the export approved variant.

2x ADF-35/1R5 Divine Wind
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The Marquesan Armed Forces sought a 5th generation, dedicated heavy fighter aircraft for use as a defense against the extremely modern fighter aircraft deployed in Gholgoth and throughout the world. To this end, the ADF program produced its 5th revision of the "Divine Wind" fighter, a thoroughly modern aircraft built using a titanium honeycomb core, built up with layers of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer, or CFRP. This construction method drastically reduces the parts count of the aircraft in comparison to previous metal-skinned generations of the Divine Wind fighter and provides for extremely high airframe rigidity.

The ADF.35 is very agile, with excellent instantaneous and sustained turn performance, high-alpha capability and a general resistance to spins. The supermaneuverable fighter aircraft is still controllable at angles of attack exceeding 60° and can sustain 10-g maneuvers due to the high-instability design.

2x X-2 Shinshin Manufactured by one of our East Asian suppliers

Rebuffed by their North American allies in attempts to acquire the F-22 Raptor due to its sensitive technology, the East Asian power was forced to develop its own advanced stealth air superiority platform for defense of the home islands.

The X-2 Shinshin was the result of that process, and it has been introduced this decade to little fanfare, but much respect. Trials are classified, but early reports say that the aircraft performs well and the USGSC air wing has begun its own tests with its mysteriously acquired models.

2x J-16 Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

Based off the J-11B, which in turn was developed from the SU-27, the J-16 is still in very ramped up production. It is a solid, 5th generation multi-role striker. They are experimenting with installing advanced AI systems and near future versions of the J-16 might be unmanned.

2x Tejas Manufactured by one of our South Asian suppliers

Primarily an air superiority fighter, with ground attack operations coming in at a close second, this aircraft was long conceptualized to bring the originating South Asian power into the 21st century and be better prepared to take on its two most hostile and nuclear armed neighbors.

2x LY910 Shadowhawk Advanced Air Superiority Fighter Manufactured by Lyran Arms; Lyras

The LY910 Shadowhawk is a single-seat twin-engine fifth-generation air superiority fighter aircraft designed to utilise cutting-edge stealth technology and super-manoeuvrability. While designed primarily for the air superiority role, it has additional capabilities that include ground attack, electronic warfare, signals intelligence, reconnaissance and maritime patrol.

The Shadowhawk is termed a ‘deep stealth’ design, with attempts to drive down the detection threshold of the aircraft being very central to the design and research carried out on the platform. The LY910, as is visible at first glance, utilises a ‘flying wing’ design, which reduces the number of leading edges, which are generally one of the highest sources of reflected radar. Further to this, the trapezoidal wing design shows an axial symmetry which also furthers RCS reduction. The Shadowhawk also uses a completely frameless canopy, in order to reduce radar returns from the windshield arc, and is only the second aircraft in production, anywhere in the world, to do this, without negative effects on structural integrity.

2x Su-35 Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

Originally known as the SU-27M, the Flanker-E was re-designated in order to attract customers for an export version. The former Soviet Bloc, however, has remained the primary, prevalent customer for Sukhoi’s latest update of the SU-27. In the Russian fleet, it is known as the SU-35S.

2x Su-57 Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

The first Russian stealth fighter, the SU-57 has only seen introduction within the past year. It features a very advanced avionics, radar system, and electronics suite.

It is hoped to be on par with most Western aircraft of similar caliber and expected to perform multiple missions, replacing many earlier versions of MiGs and Sukhois that are nearing retirement. They expect to field this model for the next 3 to 4 decades.

These were not sold to the USGSC and we are not at current liberty to discuss how they were acquired. Check back with us in 25 years for the full story.

3x F-35 Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

One of, if not the most, expensive fighter aircraft ever developed by this North American company. The F-35 has been purchased by a few modern democracies, but avoided by others due to not only its initial cost, but also maintenance, parts, and problematic early implementation.

All that aside, its performance is as advertised and the capability of its systems are virtually unparalleled. It is highly maneuverable and fulfills many roles. It is designed to carry the most advanced weapons in any powerful nations’ arsenal and its EW, radar and recon systems are top notch.

TRAINER AIRCRAFT

3x VT-72/AJT Manufactured by the United Armor & Aerospace; United Vallerian Republic

The VT-72 AJT is specifically a trainer version for export, but can be adapted as a light ground attack or interceptor. In this case, the USGSC uses them just for training purposes.

3x FT-21 Merlin Manufactured by Schwerpunkt Arms; Nachmere

The FT-21 is a compact, single engine aircraft with twin vertical stabilizers, tricycle landing gear, and a tandem two pilot cockpit. The large bubble shaped canopy offers excellent visibility, and the high thrust to weight ratio and aerodynamic design, coupled to advanced avionics and the tried and tested NAI-404 turbofan make the Merlin a reliable, forgiving aircraft. It is well suited not only to train pilots for heavier, more capable jets, but to act in air-to-air, air-to-ground and close air support roles.

2x S34 Jahus (Venom) Light Strike Fighter/Trainer Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The HAD S34 'Venom' is a highly maneuverable, supersonic Light Strike Fighter (LSF) derived from the SM-27J/L Turbofan Kradin originally. The most significant evolution of the Kradin series, the Venom marries a Turbofan Kradin derivative fuselage to a Forward Swept Wing (FSW) augmented by custom canard foreplanes and a distinctive empennage and an engine bay which accommodates a 22,000 to 25,000 static thrust class turbofan. Presenting greater capabilities than the standard turbofan Kradin, the HAD S34 is oriented toward fulfilling both Fighter, Attack and Advanced Pilot Trainer roles.

3x Corsair II Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

The A-7 served well as a light attack aircraft for specialized missions in both an AF and naval capacity. Like its cousin A-6, most are retired now, but as a museum relic, it can still be fun to fly and a great trainer, and some might still be found in private contract employ.

1x Shafaq Manufactured by one of our Persian suppliers

Primarily developed as a trainer, the interceptor/attack version is rumored to have radar absorbing skin. USGSC was only able to get their hands on one trainer variant.

[USG Security Corporation]

MULTI-ROLE/INTERCEPTOR AIRCRAFT FLEET

2x 37 Viggen
Manufactured by one of our Norse suppliers

A canard, multi-role fighter developed in the 1960’s in this Nordic nation to replace the Lansen and Draken. They were given advanced technology by the North American power in order to hold the wall against Soviet aggression, and used it to good effect to crank out a solid fighter for the times. In the 1990’s the 37 was upgraded to the ASJ37 with more modern weapons and avionics systems. Neu Engollon purchased several of the aircraft and renamed it the NEF-37. It served them well on defence of the Confederacy frontiers.

2x Azarakhsh
Manufactured by one of our Persian suppliers

The Azarakhsh, and its derivatives the Kowsar and Saeqeh, were developed from the North American F-5E Tiger II. It is a light interceptor/multi-role fighter and has done well in the ground-attack role and for mass attacks on enemy bomber runs.

2x VSI-36/2R2 Headhunter Interceptor
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The Marquesan Armed Forces saw a need for a very high-speed strike aircraft capable of acting as a long-range naval interceptor. To this end, the VSI.36/2R2 aircraft was produced, codenamed "Headhunter" by the development team.
The VSI.36 fighter's dual role as a Fleet Air Defense fighter and as a low-level strike aircraft necessitated a variety of stealth features.

2x Mirage G8
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers

A successor light weight multi-role and interceptor that was in competition with the F-14 Tomcat for the lead role in the fleets of Western democracies and their allies, the Mirage G project was dropped in the mid-1970’s by the Motherland, but picked up by many Francophone nations and brought to fruition in defiance of the Anglo-American pressure to conform in alliances. The Mirage G8 is still in service with several nations.

2x J179 Thunder
Manufactured by Hydra Industries; Port Ember

The J179 Thunder was the first successful locally produced multi-role fighter aircraft built in Port Ember, courtesy of Hydra Industries. It is a relatively inexpensive, single seat, single engine, delta wing based off the MiG 21 with simple but effective avionics and systems. It has seen action in a few conflicts with the Port Ember AF, but most recently in the Brazilistan War of 2018, and can be attributed to being a major reason for the collapse and destruction of the Brazilistani AF.

2x F/A-18 Hornet
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

A twin engine, multi-role, carrier capable attack craft that can carry a wide arsenal of weaponry and fulfill several roles in an expeditionary force. The Hornet has served with many naval air wings with distinction and despite its age, is still a prominent component to naval air attack plans.

4x Super Etendard
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers.

A carrier capable strike fighter aircraft that has been a reliable performer for the Francophone navies and seen service in all manner of conflicts over the past few decades since its introduction in the late 1970’s.

Also sold to a Latin power during its service heyday, it famously was put into action to sink Anglo ships using Excocet anti-ship missiles, subsequently causing a major rift in Franco-Anglo relations.
It has only recently been retired from service with most of its users.

3x LY908A Warhawk Manufactured by Lyran Arms; Lyras

3x Su-27 Flanker
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

A twin engine, semi-swept wing that entered Soviet service in the mid 1980’s. The Flanker was intended to be both a bomber interceptor and bomber escort with some variants air superiority capable.
Designed to be a comparative air superiority fighter to tangle with the F-14 and F-15, it has served its purpose, if no longer relevant in that respect.

2x MiG-31
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

A long range, low flying interceptor that was specifically designed to fulfill the tasks of UAV, helicopter, and cruise missile interception; provide a layer of air defense, and be one of the fastest interceptors on the planet.
It was developed to exceed it’s early progenitor, the MiG-25, doubling its range and with much more advanced systems and avionics. Numerous upgrades since the 1990’s have kept the MiG-31 variants up to date and flying far.

2x S37 Nyddman (Rattler) Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The HAD S37 is a delta winged multirole fighter able to pack a lot of firepower and perform a variety of missions.

3x MAF-50 Pegasus Light Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by Covenant Arms; Holy Marsh

The MAF-50 is a light multi-role aircraft designed to wear many hats with a great deal of effectiveness. High speed and high efficiency combined with almost otherworldly agility and dogfighting capability and a highly capable anti-ground role gave the MAF-50 near flawless marks considering its cost and multi-role capability. It uses the SACHERI avionics and control system, a revolutionary Marshite system.

Not a replacement for a dedicated air superiority fighter nor attacker, its low cost and high effectiveness design enable it to be mass produced for mass use by many nations seeking an effective swing role airframe. It has been rated highly in the industry for it’s flexible role in air combat.

2x XF-2 Vampir Stealth Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by South Belka Aviation; Exported by Lauzanexport CDT, Lauzanne

The Vampir is a twin-engine, single seater, super maneuverable stealth multirole fighter and the first in the Lauzanne Air Force to develop true stealth capabilities. Comprised of cutting edge composites, alloys and using a Marquesan-supplied 3d metal printing technique for the wings gives it excellent weight and strength characteristics. Use of a variable bypass system for the engine ensures optimum performance at all flight regimes, bolstered by cutting edge sensors and self-defense mechanisms to ensure a true 5th generation fighter that can take on the best in the world.

It's most stand-out feature (and one that stirred great controversy in aerospace circles) is the unprecedented 12 internal hardpoints, allowing for massive degrees of flexibility and massive mission loadouts. A wide variety of weapons are compatible with it thanks to the same Crossroads central computer that is also central to the MRF-1 Groza's systems. Such systems allow a prospective customer to use weapons from both the East and the West, with a high degree of integration for each weapons system.

Combined with all aspect stealth, super cruise capabilities and a combat radius exceeding 2,000km, the Vampir is truly a world-class contender on the 5th generation stage.

5x MF-95 Dragon
Manufactured by SNDI (Shalumite National Defense Industries); Shalum

A medium range, multi-role fighter that entered service in 1993 with the Shalumite Armed forces and is still in service. The Dragon has been bumped from the primary fighter to a more secondary role, mostly replaced with the Bartgeier multi-role fighter, Produced by Wolf Armaments, Common Territories
The Dragon is very modular for weapons systems and capable of versatile operations, but best at ground support.

3x LY909 Sparrowhawk Light Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by Lyran Arms; Lyras

The LY909 ‘Sparrowhawk’ is a single-seat, single-engine lightweight multirole fighter. The LY909 was designed as a true multirole, and as such performance, flexibility, survivability, combat persistence and lethality are all first-rate considerations. Following on the heels of those requirements was the very real possibility of the new aircraft being manufactured in one of the largest aerospace production runs in human history. Preliminary Lyran analysis indicated a requirement for at least 60,000 aircraft for Lyran requirements alone, and an unknown (but considerably larger) number for export under the auspices of the Lyran Governmental Trade Department, through Lyran Arms. These figures mandated that the final aircraft be production-efficient to a very high degree, and to be able to be produced in as little time as possible, for as few resources as could be managed.

2x J-8
Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

Interceptors are a vastly underlooked, economic option to put numerous aircraft in the sky to overwhelm invaders. Individually, they aren’t meant to go toe to toe with modern 5th+ generation fighters, but their power to swarm opponents vastly outweighs their individual inferiority. The J-8, while an aged interceptor, falls neatly into this category where bulk has more value than quality. Still in service with some Asian powers, it has proved its worth.

3x VF-76 Falk
Manufactured by the United Armor & Aerospace; United Vallerian Republic

The VF-76 Falk is a multirole fighter/attacker designed to be a balance of cost, ruggedness, and performance. An offshoot development of the Macbeean Gli-76, the VF-76 shares most of its wing structure, tail, and engine nacelles with the Gli-76, with canards to increase maneuverability at lower speeds and to reduce trim drag. The VF-76 features an advanced power plant for remarkable speed and very modular features for extended life and capability.

While it hasn’t fared well in air to air engagements with superior jets, the Falk excels as a ground striker and support fighter.
It is the premier, medium range ground attack aircraft of the UVR and Lorhaven with limited exports beyond those two nations.

2x APF-12/1R3 Revenant
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports; Marquesan

The Agile Patrol Fighter program set out with the goal of creating an extremely lightweight, compact carrier-based single-seat stealthy fighter with an extended range using a single turbofan engine, supersonic sprint capability on engine reheat and an advanced, relaxed-stability design capable of very tight turns. The resulting design, codenamed "Revenant" by the development team, is the smallest and lightest combat aircraft in service with the Marquesan Armed Forces. Revenant fighters use a highly advanced, 5th generation design which minimizes supersonic drag, with special attention paid to dynamic agility at dogfighting speeds.

4x MiG-25
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

This MiG was designed to be fast, and it is still one of the speediest guns around. This ability makes it perfect for its role as a recon plane and also its more primary role as an interceptor.

3x Bartgeier Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by Wolf Armaments; Common Territories

[spoiler=Description]The Bartgeier (Bearded Vulture - [Bart-guy-err]) Multirole Fighter is a multiple role fourth generation (early fifth generation) fighter jet designed and manufactured by Wolf Armaments. In dire need of a domestic fighter jet, the TECT Armed Forces put in a order to Wolf Armaments to produce a capable all around, all weather, fighter jet with the most advanced avionics available to fighter aircraft. The order, which would deliver a large grant to Wolf Armaments, specified that the aircraft had to be a "capable air combatant which dominates the air - a ground support, gun armed, and ordnance ready bomber - and two variants for the air force and navy be constructed." Although explored, a STOVL was never developed due to engine worries and airframe design; instead, the base model for the air force and a variant for fleet aircraft carriers was developed. The Bartgeier-A, the air force variant is designed to operate with air forces while the Bartgeier-B is an aircraft built for use on aircraft carriers. Overall, the Bartgeier was designed to dominate in air combat and support ground forces using its large capacity of ground attack weaponry; its multirole ability, however, is its greatest feature. The project came under fire early on especially for its single engine design - it is still daring to produce such a unique design. After many tests and its first test flight in 2005 - the Bartgeier first flew with the TECT Imperial Air Force in 2008 after receiving the first delivery of the aircraft. It has since become the TECT Armed Forces primary F/A aircraft.

2x Bartgeier B variant Multirole
Manufactured by Wolf Armaments; Common Territories

The 'B' variant of the Bartgeier is the carrier-capable model modified in areas to allow for effective use aboard medium to large catapult equipped fleet carriers. The Bartgeier-B features mid-foldable wings to greatly reduce its occupied area when in transit, a reinforced landing gear and carriage for carrier landings, and a twin-wheel forward landing gear and reinforced arrestor hook for use aboard carrier decks. The pilots' seats come with automatic deployable sea life raft (reflective orange and yellow) that detect water landings and deploys shortly after (comes with sea survival kit, such as water catcher and sun shade flaps as well as the standard survival kit).

1x Bartgeier C variant Multrole
Manufactured by Wolf Armaments; Common Territories

The 'C' variant of the Bartgeier is a VTOL modified version of the original 'B' model. Outfitted with a modified engine system that allows for VTOL operations - Bartgeier-C's are intended to be used on amphibious assault ships and light carriers, among other sea vessels lacking a catapult and arrestor wire system. They do not posses arrestor hooks but do posses the remaining features the 'B' model has, including reinforced landing gears and folding wings.

1x MRF-1 Groza
Manufactured by Alyuka Electric; Exported by Lauzanexport CDT; Lauzanne

The MRF-1 "Groza" is a 4.5th generation, single or twin seater, single engine multirole fighter that incorporates stealth materials, high-performance avionics, AESA radar and supercruise capability. Utilising all-new composites and Li-Al alloys as part of it's airframe, the Groza is a true blending of the East and the West, taking the best parts from both.

The "Crossroads" central computer combines a high-speed datalink, cutting edge avionics, advanced sensors and a HUD for the pilot to utilise, greatly enhancing the capability of each individual plane. Combined with others, they can act as spotters with their superior radar, jam enemy radars with their own "Refleks" AESA, and designate targets for planes with less powerful radars. In addition to this, semi-stealth characteristics reduce detection range by 10%, giving the Groza an edge against any non-stealthy opponent it comes across. It's final trick is the capability to use both the old Soviet and now Russian data-bus, along with incorporating a Western data-bus. This allows for blending of weaponry on a Groza, or data-communication between itself and either Soviet or Western planes with little issue.

1x MAF-50S Silent Pegasus Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The Silent Pegasus is an all-weather stealth multirole combat jet whose design has allowed it to remain a lightweight and deadly platform of war. Still capable of top-flight combat performance and all-terrain capability, the Silent Pegasus is a highly capable system designed for combat in the 5th generation.

2x IBF-12 Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by RealPolitik Armaments; Vymar

A Vymarian developed multi-role fighter that can be well armed to service a variety of missions in defense and offense. An earlier multirole fighter in the IBF series, the IBF-12 served the Vymarian AF faithfully for many years.

3x SU-33AL Gannet Deck Fighter
Manufactured by Allanean Defense Exports; Allanea

The Free Kingdom of Allanea has long required the ability to produce an export aircraft that it could distribute to allied states and members of Greater Prussia. However, for political and legal reasons, it often has been non-viable to re-export to foreign parties the highly restricted Lyran Arms and Syndicate Industries aircraft that the Free Kingdom produces under license. For this reason, Allanean Arms eventually procured the Sukhoi factories in Allanean Russia, and produced a variant of the Sukhoi SU-33 deck fighter for sales and supply to the Free Kingdom's allies and for international export.

While it has been decided to retain the fuselage shape, changes have been made to the avionics and engine. The turbofans engines were improved for an increase of engine life by approximately 25%, whereas the avionics suite has been entirely replaced.
The aircraft is now refitted with Touchscreen control displays, a helmet-mounted sight system, and a AN/APG-79 AESA radar, as well as an IRST system. Like a standard SU-33, it can be used as a refueling tanker by using a special pod.

4x Tornado
Manufactured by one of our Euro suppliers

Despite being almost 50 years old, the Tornado is still currently used by many Euro and other nations as a multi-role fighter, with ground attack and bomber roles being the primary choices to utilize the aircraft. It has been battle proven many times over, although it’s worthiness in air combat with other multi-role fighters of equal caliber is questionable.

2x MiS-32 Renegade
Manufactured by the Vassiliev Aerospace Group; Mallaska

The MiS-32 Renegade series is a completely Mallaskan-made 5th-generation multirole fighter series featuring low-observable stealth technology and the latest avionics and weapons systems. The project was created in 1999 as a means to create a 5th-generation fighter aircraft for the Mallaskan Armed Forces and was undertaken by the venerated Vassiliev Aerospace Group as its first fully domestic-built fighter aircraft, though the company has much experience constructing domestically licensed variants of other fighters.
The project, aptly named Project "ренегат" (Renegade), saw its first working production aircraft in 2006. Though suffering from a barrage of criticisms due to inflated cost of the aircraft beyond what was projected, the aircraft soon made up for this with its display of capabilities. The Renegade, in its multiple variations tailored to specific tasks, showed supreme capabilities in all the necessary roles as required by both the Mallaskan Air Force and Navy.

2x IBF-22 Strike Fighter
Manufactured by RealPolitik Armaments; Vymar

Like the IBF-12 and 17 before it, the 22 is a top fighter that can take on a variety of missions, packing bombs, to cruise missiles, to AMRAAMs. It is the pride of the Vymarian armed forces.

2x S39 Jeban (Viper) Multirole fighter
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

In a new age of warfare and prevention of warfare, from sea based carriers to land based airstrips and beyond, HAD proudly announces it's S39 Viper as an alternative to other aerospace weaponry. A 4.5 generation multi-role fighter aircraft, it is powered by the GE Auremena F424 afterburning turbofan, a procurement through trade relations that came about during an expo of the S39 to a purchasing country.

Other than air defence, the duties of the S39 Jeban include destruction of enemy ASW, AWACS, and transport aircraft, anti-shipping strike, support of amphibious landing, escort, and reconnaissance.

2x J-11
Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

Asian licensed version of the Su-27 multi-role fighter.

3x VF-58 Blixt
Manufactured by the United Armor & Aerospace; United Vallerian Republic

A solid interceptor from UAA that still sees service with the Vallerian AF as well as some other GD powers.

VF-58s intercepting target drones over Iskaavlit

2x F-29
Manufactured by Universal Defense; Falkasia

The F-29 and its Cardwithian produced variant, the CF-29, have been a persistent presence during several conflicts in Southern Tavlyria and Wishtonia. It is a solid, delta wing multi-role fighter that replaced the aging SU-27s in the Falkasian AF. Falkasia phased out the F-29 in favor of the UD produced SL-80, and subsequent later models, but the CF-29 remains the primary fighter in the Cardwithian arsenal as they attempt to update their fleet.

Two models are retained by the USGSC air training fleet. Both models were recovered mostly intact by USGSC forces from ground ditches after air engagements over West Cardwith during the last battles of the Hutanjian War and miraculously repaired for flight and spirited out before full evacuation from W. Cardwith.
One of the aircraft is a cannibalized Cardwithian licensed CF-29 model while the other is very definitely an original Falkasian F-29, albeit minus a fried C-VICE system replaced with the NEDACS operating system. Both are maintained with surreptitiously obtained UD parts through proxy companies, as the corporate relationship between UD and USGSC remains hazy at best.

2x JF-17 Thunder
Manufactured and designed jointly by our Asian and Central Asian suppliers

A truly multi-role aircraft that is used for everything from interceptor, to recon, to ground attack, the JF-17 is as versatile as it is economical in its design and materials. The two powers commissioned the project in order to replace an aging fleet of specialized bombers, fighters, and interceptors by replacing it with an all-in-one package.

It is also known as the FC-1 Xiaolong, and breathe fire this dragon does indeed.
With a power plant provided by either the Klimov RD-33 or Guizhou WS-13, the Thunder can also accommodate quite an arsenal of ordnance.

3x Jaguar
Manufactured jointly by our Franco and Anglo suppliers

Designed originally as a trainer jet, the Jaguar was soon thrown additionally into the roles of reconnaissance, and even tactical nuclear strike platform. A naval carrier launched version was planned, but the Franco power balked on giving the go ahead, and opted for the cheaper Dassault Super Étendard.

The Jaguar was a very worthy component of Euro air power until it was retired in favor of the Tornado, Typhoon, and Rafale. A dwindling number of powers still fly it in their air forces.

2x Su-24
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

An incredibly versatile and widely used multi-role aircraft, the Su-24 is legendary in its operational history.

Multiple sweep settings and a powerplant of 2 Saturn/Lyulka AL-21F-3A after-burning turbojet engines have made this a workhorse for the Russians, and for many receiving client nations that still rely on the Su-24.

2x 22B Lubny (Cobra) Interceptor Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The HAD 22b Lupny (Cobra) served with distinction as a light strike fighter in many a border skirmish and war during the early 1960's, and continued to be deployed until the mid-eighties. Though production ceased in 2008 it continues to serve, mostly as an interceptor, in several air forces.

Several upgrades to the airframe and systems have made it almost a different aircraft from the 1960’s model.

3x Mirage 2000
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers

Still in service with many nations, the Mirage 2000 has several variants and it has proven to be very upgradeable to suit modern operational demands. One of the successors of the Mirage III, the Mirage 2000 was made as a light multi-role fighter that could continue to be the centerpiece of missions.

1x IBF-17 Stealth Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by RealPolitik Armaments; Vymar

A classic design with canards and a delta wing, the IBF-17 is able to pack several armaments to perform a wide array of missions. It is the mainstay of the Vymarian Air Force and has succeeded the IBF-12 as the mainstay of the Vymarian AF.

5x MiG-23
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

One of the most famous of the Mikoyan-Gurevich aircraft, the MiG-23 is like the AK-47 assault rifle of Russian fighter planes. This 3rd generation multi-role has seen worldwide usage and then some and has been licensed and produced in dozens of nations. It is still very much in service with several powers, and is only recently being replaced by the MiG-27 in many of them, while it only sees limited, reserve usage in its nation of origin.

Called the Flogger by some, it is more like a large flying dagger in its appearance. It was a top air superiority fighter in the 3rd gen era, with a popular bomber variant also getting considerable flight time. It is still a formidable interceptor.

2x SU-34AL Hellduckling Fighter
Manufactured by Allanean Defense Exports; Allanea

The Free Kingdom of Allanea has long required the ability to produce an export aircraft that it could distribute to allied states and members of Greater Prussia. However, for political and legal reasons, it often has been non-viable to re-export to foreign parties the highly restricted Lyran Arms and Syndicate Industries aircraft that the Free Kingdom produces under license. For this reason, Allanean Arms eventually procured the Sukhoi factories in Allanean Russia, and produced a variant of the Sukhoi SU-33 deck fighter for sales and supply to the Free Kingdom's allies and for international export. Due to the immediate and immense success of the aircraft, it was decided by Sukhoi (now a subsidiary of Allanean Arms) to accelerate the research leading up to SU-34AL Hellduckling

Just like with SU-33AL, it has been decided to retain the fuselage shape, changes have been made to the avionics and engine. The turbofans engines were improved for an increase of engine life by approximately 25%, whereas the avionics suite has been entirely replaced.

The aircraft is now refitted with Touchscreen control displays, a helmet-mounted sight system, and a pair of advanced AESA radar as well as an IRST system. Like a standard SU-33, it can be used as a refueling tanker by using a special pod. Unlike most aircraft, the SU-34AL is fitted with two radar systems, one mounted front, one rear, between the two engine fronts. Out front, it is capable of detecting large-scale ground targets out to 250 km, armored vehicles out to 75 km, and non-stealth air targets out to 250 km as well, while low-RCS enemy fighters can be detected out to 90 km. The rearward-facing radar can detect enemy air-to-air missiles aimed at the aircraft, and control the fire of one’s own missiles, however due to technical complexities at best one can engage rearward targets out to 10-20 miles at the level best.

1x Mirage 5/50
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers

An improvement on the Mirage III, the Mirage 5 was developed in response to the Judaic power’s requests for an aircraft with less complicated avionics and increased space for fuel storage in order to perform long range attack missions.

2x XF-25 Dracul Stealth Strike Fighter
Manufactured by Novograd Aviation; Exported by Lauzanexport CDT, Lauzanne

The Vampir project had turned out to be quite an adaptable platform for other applications, and with the fleet of MiG-23BN fighter bombers having served out their term faithfully in the LAF, it was high time to replace them in the eyes of many. Thus, Novograd Aviation sought to create a capable strike fighter using the Vampir as a base. The Dracul was the result, first flying soon after it's single-seater sister.

The Dracul is a twin-engine, twin-seater, super maneuverable stealth strike fighter with a high combat range, massive carrying capacity and a wide range of armaments to choose from. In addition, the two centreline weapons bays of the Vampir are merged and expanded on the Dracul, allowing for larger missiles to be carried internally, retaining it's stealth characteristics.

Unusual for a plane of it's class, the Dracul uses a tandem-seating system whereby the pilot and Weapons System Officer (WSO) are seated side by side, allowing for easier communication and coordination between the two crew. Also present for longer flights are a refueling probe located opposite the autocannon, enough space for one person to lay down in the small hallway between the cockpit and the boarding ladder, a small galley and a toilet. This allows use on long-range strike missions, CAP missions or similarly long flights that extend past normal human endurance.

Fitted with the same avionics as the Vampir and with a radar modified for the wider nose, the Dracul is just as capable in air-air engagements as it's smaller cousin. Fitted with frontal canards to increase its wing area, the Dracul possesses the exact same maneuverability as it's Multirole sister, allowing it to perform many of the same missions, but instead with an emphasis on strike missions.

1x IAI Kfir
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers, modified by our Judaic supplier

See the above description of the Miarge 5. This is the Judaic customized version.

2x Mirage F1
Manufactured by one of our Franco suppliers

A solid interceptor that has seen service with several air forces and is still in limited service today. Most F1’s have been retired, but some third world forces are still finding use for them.

2x MiS-28 Raider
Manufactured by the Kovalev Aerospace Group; Mallaska

The MiS-28 Raider is a development by the Kovalev Aerospace Group designed at the request of the Mallaskan Navy for a VTOL multirole fighter that could be operated off of the four Admiral Bykov class aircraft carriers under the Mallaskan Navy commissioned in the mid 1980s. Prior to the Raider Project, these carriers were relegated to operating AT-1 Marauder turboprop attack aircraft as well as Westland Sea King and Westland Lynx helicopters.
The Kovalev Aerospace Group is formerly known for producing STOL cargo aircraft and trainer aircraft, and thus was commissioned to work on the primary elements of the MiS-30. The Vassiliev Aerospace Company, known for creating the MiS-22 Strela fighter aircraft, was also involved in the project in optimizing much of the aircraft's armament and combat avionics.

2x J-15
Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

A carrier based, 4th gen multi-role fighter, the J-15 was reverse engineered from an acquired export version of the SU-33, tested, and rushed into production to meet the major Asian power’s needs to extend their power over the South Asian seas.

2x Saeqeh
Manufactured by one of our Persian suppliers

Developed from the Azarakhsh fighter, the Saeqeh is the next generation multi-role from this supplier, but it seems to do best as an interceptor.

[USG Security Corporation]

GROUND ATTACK/SUPPORT SCHOOL AIRCRAFT FLEET

2x F-4 Phantom II
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

A two-seater interceptor/fighter bomber developed by McDaniel-Duplesse, it was first introduced to North American military services in 1960. The Phantom was used extensively throughout that decade, especially in Southeast Asia, with stunning success and several pilots earning Ace status in it. The original models did not incorporate an internal cannon, but later models were produced with the M61 Vulcan as standard. The USGSC models are some of the last produced of the line with the most updated systems and armaments. The Phantom can carry nearly 20k of ordinance for air combat or ground support missions. While phased out of service, even reserve duty, by most first world powers in the 1990s, the USGSC believes that training in and against the F-4 is still essential due to its continuing widespread use among third world powers.

2x Ajeet
Manufactured by one of our South Asian suppliers

The HAL Ajeet originated as a light jet fighter, meant to function as both a basic interceptor and ground support operations aircraft. The addition of more avionics systems made it less agile than earlier models, such as the Gnat, but more capable of parity with other South Asian fighters.

Additionally, the revolutionary wet wing design, or encapsulated fuel tank within the wing, enabled a greater range than most light fighters before its introduction. This also enabled more armaments to be housed on the hardpoints where fuel tanks would normally have to be housed in a non-wet wing design.

3x IA-200 Combat Academy
Manufactured by Ironclouds Aviation, Ravenweather

The IA-200-M Combat Academy is a light attack combat aircraft manufactured by the Ravenweather-based aerospace and defense company Ironclouds Aviation. It is derived from the IA-200 Academy aircraft.

The IA-200 Academy is a passenger and utility aircraft developed in 2017. Ironclouds Aviation developed a combat variant of the IA-200 by incorporating intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance features. The IA-200-M Combat Academy is armed with Hellfire missiles. Other upgrades over the basic Academy include an electro-optical targeting system with an integrated laser designator, air-to-ground and air-to-air data link and self-protection equipment. The IA-200-M is fitted with either AGM-114M or AGM-114K Hellfire Missile. The AGM-114 is an air-to-surface missile developed principally for anti-armor use.

2x S30 Sylrada (Machete) Ground Support Fighter
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

Conceived to address real counter-terrorism needs, the S30 Sylrada series enables air strikes directly at core insurgent forces in the field, in training, and in hiding. Particularly well-suited for low-level Close Air Support (CAS), COIN and Forward Air Control (FAC) above dense jungle, desert, maritime, and rugged mountain environments with limited forward and ground support, Machete aircraft will exhibit exemplary maneuverability, integrated sensors and electronic countermeasures, superior low-speed handling, short-field performance, high maximum level speed, significant external war load and reduced maintenance requirements.

The S30 Sylrada/B variant is designed primarily for air-to-ground missions, employing ordinance such as the AGM-65, GBU-39/B, GBU-31, GBU-32, GBU-38, CBU-97, CBU-59, BLU-107 and additional stores. Optimized for precision strike, the S30 Sylrada/B employs GPS guided munitions, including the GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SBD) to dispatch ground threats with minimal collateral damage. The S30 Sylrada/B can carry up to 28 GBU-39/Bs, or 6 AGM-65s or 2 GBU-31 JDAMS externally in addition to 2 AIM-9s.

3x Chengdu J-7
Manufactured by one of our Asian suppliers

Originally introduced as a multi-role fighter, and a Chinese copy of the ubiquitous MiG-21, the J-7 is now mostly relegated to a ground attack/support role due to its age and inability to perform defense against other advanced enemy fighters.

3x AT-21 Guru
Manufactured by Schwerpunkt Arms, Nachmere

The AT-21 Guru was developed as a private enterprise by Schwerpunkt(originally by NPS Aircraft Division). It was designed to be a powerful and advanced trainer aircraft, but soon the potential for other roles became apparent. The AT-21 is offered both as a trainer capable of replacing not only light trainers for basic flight training, but also as an advanced training replacing older jet trainers.

In addition to being a capable and economic solution for pilot training, the AT-21 is built to act as a counter insurgency aircraft. In this role, it can carry sophisticated weapons and deliver them with deadly accuracy.
The combination of advance avionics and weapon capabilities with a simple turbo-prop design make the AT-21 a highly cost-efficient platform, as it can perform the role of 3 different aircraft(trainer, advanced trainer, light attack), is much cheaper to maintain and operate, and affordable to purchase.

2x AHI-11/1 Morrigan
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The proposition of developing a fixed-wing Close Air Support fighter in 2020 was carefully considered by RME. In the current battlespace, there are many threats which did not exist 40 years ago or more, however there is a persistent need for aircraft to deliver ordinance precisely on ground targets despite the threat of ever-smaller Surface-to-Air missiles and the proliferation of Self-Propelled Anti Aircraft Guns. The FMA turned its eyes toward a radical design codenamed "Morrigan" placing a large, custom-developed turbo-propfan at the rear of an aircraft with forward swept wings and nose-mounted canards.

2x A-6 Intruder
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

The A-6 is an all weather attack craft, which put it in a league above many other ground attack craft of its time in that it could still perform missions in extreme weather with high marks. While most of them have been retired, a few still remain in third world usage.

1x Bartgeier EW Multirole Fighter
Manufactured by Wolf Armaments; Common Territories

The 'Electronic Warfare' model of the Bartgeier is a specialized electronic warfare variant of the Bartgeier designed to detect, track, jam, and destroy anti-air threats. EW models come in either 'A' variant (Bartgeier-A/EW) or 'B' variant (Bartgeier-B/EW). Upgraded with electronic warfare equipment, such as an electronic warfare system and wingtip jamming pods, EW Bartgeier's are designed to escort aircraft, protecting them from surface-to-air threats and airborne early warning aircraft. EW's are capable of detecting and jamming tracking systems, such as ground radars, and when armed can hunt down emission sources (such as mobile radar sites or stationary radar facilities).

4x EMB 314/A-29 Super Tucano
Manufactured by one of our Latin American suppliers

This economic, light ground attack aircraft is still used by many Latin American militaries, and its popularity is growing with nations in need of such firepower, but not 1st world price tags.

2x F-1
Manufactured by one of our East Asian suppliers

While outclassed now, the F-1 was an impressive ground attack/support aircraft for its time. It was notably used as an anti-ship aircraft by the island power that manufactured them. Costly to maintain and now obsolete, you will be hard pressed to find any still currently in operation.

2x AT-7 Marauder
Manufactured by the Kovalev Aerospace Group, Mallaska

The AT-7 series of turboprop aircraft is the result of a legacy of heavy attack aircraft in the service of the Mallaskan Armed Forces. The concept of the AT-7 was conceived in 1982, as a completely modern domestic replacement for the venerable A-1 Skyraider, which had seen service in Mallaska since 1951. The Skyraider was among the most ubiquitous aircraft in the Mallaskan Armed Forces, and was present in nearly every conflict of Mallaskan involvement. The A-1 had a reputation among the military as the most rugged "Bomb Truck" available to commanders in all of the services.

Survivability is a central tenet of the AT-7. In the understanding that a turboprop attack aircraft is highly vulnerable to modern anti-aircraft systems, it is highly recommended to only deploy the AT-7 in situations of complete air dominance against enemies with weakened anti-air capabilities. However, once the AT-7 is in the sky, one can trust the aircraft to come back with a living pilot. The modern AT-7D maintains stocks of flares and warning systems, with optional ECM systems that may be mounted to the aircraft's hardpoints. The area surrounding the cockpit and much of the engine is surrounded with a titanium enclosure, allowing significant damage resistance with minimal penetration of up to 20mm projectiles to the cockpit incurring little harm to the occupant(s). The aircraft also features self-sealing internal gas tanks, and can return to base safely with even a wing or the rudder gone. It also features an ejection seat for the pilot should the aircraft be critically struck.

The AT-7's advantage is its ability to carry a significant amount of munitions and provide extensive CAS, COIN, and general attack duties to customers in a highly-customizable package. The Marauder features default compatibility with NATO munitions, although can be converted to utilize almost any other weapon system with modification, allowing full flexibility to the customer. The Marauder is also fully capable as a carrier borne attack aircraft, thanks to its low takeoff speed, folding wings, and arresting cable.

4x M/LAI-6 Knife Fighter II
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

A low-cost counter-insurgency aircraft designed with maximum possible short range lethality and loitering time in mind, the M/LAI-6 is a turboprop powered airframe useful in low-intensity operations. Lacking the counter-measures and armor prevalent in other designs, the M/LAI-6 relies on the owning military to already own the skies and have control of ground-based anti-air systems. It is effective even without that, having superb control at low altitudes on its way to dealing a high payload against surprised insurgent forces and moving away equally swiftly.
Created as a further development of the original Knife Fighter which debuted fifty years ago, the Knife Fighter II is a modern re-imagining of one of the most effective counter insurgency aircraft of all time. Ill-suited for major engagements or against opponents with reasonably effective anti-air capabilities in the area of operations.

3x IA-100M Meteor Master
Manufactured by Ironclouds Aviation, Ravenweather

IA-100-M Meteor Master is a new light-attack aircraft designed and manufactured by Ironclouds Aviation. The aircraft is based on the industry-proven design of the IA-100 series aircraft offered by Ironclouds Aviation.

The new aircraft is specifically designed to address the light-attack requirements of the armed and air forces across the globe. It can perform manned intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), training, light precision attack, civil support, counterinsurgency (COIN), airborne interdiction and intelligence, maritime patrol, and internal defense missions.

6x A-10 Thunderbolt
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

One of the most specialized and infamous of all ground attack aircraft, the A-10 ‘Warthog’ Thunderbolt has been at it for many decades now, and is probably the most feared aircraft by tank crews, especially those that are not North American.

Incredibly rugged and able to withstand an incredible amount of AA gun and missile fire before being knocked out of the sky, this aircraft is a beast. While not fast by fighting aircraft standards, it is deadly to armored vehicles on the ground.

4x VA-40 Virvelvind
Manufactured by the United Armor & Aerospace, United Vallerian Republic

A compact, multi-role, sweep wing fighter used primarily as a ground attack craft that has seen service with both the UVR and Solisian Union across several conflicts.

2x GLI-23 Attack Aircraft
Manufactured by Greater Laerihans Industries, The Golden Throne

A ground attack aircraft produced and sold by the Golden Throne.

2x Dragon Ground Attack Plane
Manufactured by Wolf Armaments, Common Territories

The Ground Attack Plane Dragon or GAP. “The Flying Fire Breathing” Dragon, is a twin engine, straight-swept wing design jet aircraft developed in 2005 based off similarly rolled aircraft from the West and East. Its primary duty is attacking ground targets, close-air support, and killing tanker/armored units. The TECT Imperial Air Force requested a jet aircraft that could compete with such aircraft like the A-10 and Sukhoi Su-25; commanders wanted a jet plane capable of deploying a wide and large amount of ordinance, armed with a large gatling cannon, and a variant of this aircraft for uses on aircraft carriers/assault ships. Designers imagined the Dragon as a ferocious and steadfast aircraft - much similar to its inspired name, the Dragon would have a fearsome attack and could linger waiting for more victims to ravage. Its hardpoints also utilize aircraft pods for jamming and targeting roles, giving the Dragon a longer detection range and protecting it from ground and air threats; the EYES targeting pod, for example, allows a Dragon to detect targets from farther ranges, track and use laser guided ordinance, and visually target enemy positions.

A close air support rolled aircraft, the Dragon is built for durability and survivability. Dragons are capable of flying while missing portions of the airframe and can operate even with failed hydraulics. This is especially thanks to the durable airframe and extensive armor on the aircraft. Armor is highly stressed on an aircraft that will no doubt become the primary target to hostile ground fire. This is why Dragons are outfitted with 555 kilograms of armor on board, made up of mostly a composite titanium alloy with Kevlar layers.

4x IBF-4 Turbo Prop Light Attack Aircraft
Manufactured by RealPolitik Armaments, Vymar

A light turboprop ground attack aircraft, as suggested in its nomenclature, the IBF-4 is a very sturdy support craft of the Vymarian AF. As part of its standard armaments, it packs the classic M2 Brownings, and also features a basic EW countermeasure package, which is somewhat rare in your average GA support planes.

2x SA-9 Brigand
Manufactured by the Kovalev Aerospace Group, Mallaska

The SA-9A Brigand is the latest chapter in a series of Mallaskan ground attack aircraft. Devised in 1992, the Brigand was a response to requests by Mallaskan commanders for a dedicated attack jet to combat opposition that had common access to armored vehicles. While the AT-7 Marauder was effective at defeating less developed insurgents in uncontested skies, it was deemed unfit to fight in a conflict against a developed power. As a result, engineers at Trenton Aerospace set off to create the SA-9 Brigand. The Brigand was conceptualized as a larger brother of the AT-7, fit to carry more ordnance and sensory equipment necessary to defeat developed enemies, meant to be more operationally capable as a dedicated attack aircraft.
The first prototype of the SA-9 was unveiled in 1994 and demonstrated exceptional capabilities in the attack and CAS roles, particularly due to its ability to carry excessive amounts of guided ordnance and taking advantage of its superior sensory systems. The Brigand features modular capabilities, able to mount additional systems such as targeting pods, most commonly the LANTIRN system.
Unlike its main competitor, the A-10 Warthog, the SA-9 does not utilize a large gun mounted within its nose. In lieu of this is an advanced array of avionics, including advanced radar systems, integrated targeting pods, and ECM countermeasures. This space allows for the external hardpoints to be free to carry additional ordnance in space otherwise taken up by assorted targeting and ECM pods.

4x Su-25 Grach
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

Specifically designed to be a close air support platform for ground troops, the Grach has served that role considerably well. While widely used by the originator nation in its Central Asian conflicts, it has also seen service across the globe with many other nations in a myriad of modern conflicts. The Grach is to be feared by any enemy once it pops over that horizon.

4x AV-8B Harrier
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

A S/VTOL, the Harrier was always in the vanguard of naval multi-role aircraft and is still in use by several North American and Euro powers to fulfill a variety of missions, mostly support based. Produced under license from Anglo design, the Harrier was conceptualized to maximize deck space at sea, and land on virtually any flat surface on terra firma.

However, it is its high performance in the air, not just at returning safely without a runway, that has distinguished the Harrier as a key military aircraft sought after for peacekeeping and counter-terrorist operations around the globe. While not quite adept at confronting enemy aircraft, it does very well as a ground attack craft.

5x MiG-27
Manufactured by one of our former Soviet Bloc suppliers

The Flogger did not see widespread use outside of the Soviet stable, as many other powers opted for updating the MiG-23, or SU-22, which the 27 was based on. The 27 was designed specifically to fulfill the ground attack role, and it served well enough on that front in several conflicts. Most MiG-27s have been retired from service.

2x TAD-855R2 Vulcan VTOL Dropship
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The Tiltrotor Dropship program set out with the goal of creating a tactical airlifter that could travel with airmobile troops and bring tracked or wheeled armor directly to contested landing zones. The Dropship needed to be capable of long-distance hauling at subsonic speeds with efficient modern powerplants and needed outstanding, stable slow-speed hover. The result of that program's completion is the TAD.855 "Vulcan", now in its second revision.

The Vulcan Dropship is a modern, low-observable shape made with an internal titanium "honeycomb" core, each part built up with layers of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer, or CFRP. Making use of titanium as a structural element and building the airplane out of layers of carbon fiber allows for extraordinary rigidity and a spacious interior cargo space, capable of transporting 120 soldiers and all their gear, or loading a variety of armored vehicles or equipment. The design includes low-RCS features like highly-canted ruddervators instead of a cruciform tail and extensive modeling to minimize the radar cross section, acoustic signature and thermal signature of the aircraft.

3x LIRCAS (Light Recon Close Air Support) aircraft
Manufactured by Schwyz Defense Systems, Neu Engollon

The LIRCAS is, as the moniker suggests, a forward air control, recon and observation aircraft, or a close air support light fighter, depending on the mission. LIRCAS is equipped with light sensor and passive electronic wavelength monitoring equipment, as well as high resolution cameras that work over several spectrum, including infrared, thermal imaging and can operate day or night. Data is transmitted almost instantly in constant digital encrypted bursts to command and/or control centers far removed from hazard.

It flies faster and higher than helicopters in use for similar missions and it is more fuel efficient and easier to maintain than jet aircraft.

2x LIRAT (Light Recon Anti-Tank) aircraft
Manufactured by Schwyz Defense Systems, Neu Engollon

Customers have had nothing but rave reviews for performance of the LIRCAS in operations, but one area where it has been reported to fall short is in armor interdiction. LIRCAS survivability in an attack on a well AA-defended armor column, as inadvisable as that action is to begin with, is quite low. This has spurred on SDS to develop the LIRAT variant. The LIRAT is more armored to withstand groundfire and the modular mounts are modified to carry heavier loads in order to hit enemy armor fast and hard.
A light titanium alloy skin covers the wings, fuselage and tail for a durable armor that can deflect most ground fire and air to air fire.

Using the same light airframe as the LIRCAS, the LIRAT is modified to hold R-12 rocket pods, Rafutar air to surface missiles, mine dispensing munitions, or other customized modular systems on each wing and a larger caliber 30mm cannon mounted in the nose. While limited in ammo carrying capability, the LIRAT can perform quick strikes and possibly neutralize up to 4-5 tanks or armored vehicles in one pass. When in larger formations, a mass flight of LIRATs can enact a large amount of devastation on an enemy armored front, quite possibly stopping it cold in conjunction with other support forces.

Due to the amount of ordnance carried at full load and extra armoring, the LIRAT tends to operate at considerably slower average speeds than its sister LIRCAS.
This does enable it, however, to make a more focused pass, but the downside is that it opens the LIRAT up to more ground fire.

The LIRAT is still the lightest, fastest, and most economical anti-armor option a force could have in its arsenal. It is much more compact and low maintenance than most traditional multi-role and ground attack fighters, but still built to get the job done.

Secondary Mission

Once ammo is expended, the LIRAT can operate in its original design capacity as a recon aircraft. Even with the anti-armor modifications, it is still able to pack a considerable amount of electronic scanning systems and optics.

Like its sister recon plane, the LIRCAS, the LIRAT is equipped with light sensor and passive electronic wavelength monitoring equipment, as well as high resolution cameras that work over several spectrums, including infrared, thermal imaging and can operate day or night. Data is transmitted almost instantly in constant digital encrypted bursts to command and/or control centers far removed from hazard.

AUXILIARY SUPPORT AIRCRAFT FLEET/BOMBERS

2x E-LY908A Darkhawk
Manufactured by Lyran Arms, Lyras / Lamoni

E-LY908A 'Darkhawk' is the electronic warfare version of the LY908 Warhawk. These variants are otherwise identical to the -A variants, but have been fitted with the 'Tiamat' system. These aircraft are therefore capable of both escort and standoff radar jamming, a factor extremely useful in a great number of engagement scenarios. These models are permitted for export to most states, but DPRs are only available to entities in a formal alliance with the Lyran Protectorate, including the states contributing to the wider LY908 project.

1x GSU - 270R2 Strider VTOL Gunship/Utility
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The GSU.270 is a multi-mission, workhorse aircraft which is the standard medium-sized, long distance troop transport operated by the Marquesan Armed Forces and its allies. The Utility Gunship program stemmed from combat experience in the Sondrian theater where heavily-opposed airmobile landings resulted in many casualties. To soften the high loss rate, a large transport capable of carrying several mounted guns and airlifting light armored vehicles was designed.

The final production aircraft is the GSU.270R2 "Strider" Gunship. Strider is a VTOL aircraft, built with ducted lift fans in its wings, driven by driveshafts from a pair of turboshaft engines. The lifting fans are covered by internal cowlings during horizontal flight, which are opened for vertical takeoff and landing.

1x MAF-50D Talon Pegasus
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

A strike/bomber variant of the MAF-50. Slight fuselage changes allow for more bombs and AGM missiles. It is not stealth capable like the 50S Silent Pegasus.

2x TE-02A Nywun (Razor) VTOL Strike Gunship
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The Nywun is a fast and maneuverable aircraft, much more so than the earlier models of helicopter gunships being sold under the HIA brand of which it is an upgrade and replacement. Rather than thrust-vectoring jet thrusters, like some aircraft, the Nywun makes use of ducted fans in the wings to provide lift and thrust, and is equipped with either a nose mounted LAC-21 Linkless Feed Autocannon or a nose-mounted Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Cannon. Allowing it to engage enemy infantry, vehicles and aircraft, making for an aircraft of extreme tactical versatility.

1x FB-2A2 Serpent Skies Flying Boat Bomber
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The FB-2A2 is an all-weather flying boat bomber, used to strike the Church's enemies without warning. Operating alone or in pairs and supported by specialist submarines, the FB-2A2 fleet acts as the extended arm of the Church's bombing operations. An FB-2A2 takes off and lands on water and has no landing gear for land based operations. Crews are often deployed together for months or years at a time, only returning to seaplane tenders for repairs and meeting up with special submarines for resupply. Increasingly rare in the current climate, the FB-2A2 still serves a special role. An enemy state never knows where the FB-2A2 may come from or when, and even if every airfield, aircraft carrier, and road is destroyed, the FB-2A2 may still operate. Used as a strategic nuclear capable bomber, minelayer, and low-flying attack craft, the FB-2A2 is a low-cost and high-yield airframe.

2x F-111
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

A multi-role combat aircraft, it was most widely used as a bomber by its nation of origin, due to its ability to handle some heavy ordnance in an internal bay.

2x XB-7 Tilter Tactical Bomber
Manufactured by South Belka Aviation; Exported by Lauzanexport CDT, Lauzanne

One of the first planes to come out of Lauzanne's Soarer Project in the 1990's, the XB-7 "Tilter" project was one of the last in the project list but one of the first to be developed and fielded. Utilising variable geometry wings, new materials and the latest Alyuka Electric AE-110 engine series, the Tilter bears a striking resemblance to both the Russian Su-24 and the American F-111. Despite visual similarities, the design could be considered "inspired" at best by the EF-111A for some years as a replacement.

With a crew of 4 (Pilot, Co-Pilot, Weapon Systems Officer, Navigator), each member of the flight team can dedicate themselves wholly to their task. Fly-by-wire, advanced radar, a digital navigation and attack system, as well as up to 14 pylons to support any manner of missiles or bombs for interdiction, bombing, or stand-off missile deployment with a high range.

The version that ended up adopted by the LAF is the XB-7E, a variant developed specifically for electronic warfare capability. With two Electronic Countermeasure Officers replacing the Navigator and WSO. The central bay is fitted with a large electronic warfare module and provisions are made for the mounting and use of anti-radiation missiles on SEAD missions.

1x MIHD-11D Hammer Heavy Bomber
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The MISH-45 was rechristened the MIHB-11 and deployed. It soon found itself favored by all. It carried almost four times as much ordnance, flew significantly faster, and had powerful defensive armaments. It flew better, flew longer, flew easier, and was easier to maintain. With its low cost and ease of use, the MIHB-11 was mass produced and found itself the main bomber of the Marshite nation.

Ever since being officially deployed in late 1950, the MIHB-11, affectionately known as the Hammer, it has been upgraded and enhanced. In 1968, the Titanium Deposits of Area 66 were retaken and the Hammer underwent its most significant structural overhaul. It has continued to be upgraded and renovated, with an eye towards keeping cost and ease of use low enough.
While the MIHB-17 Mailed Fist, MIHB-16 Talon Bane, and MSB-03 Stalker each have taken a portion of the MIHB-11s primary responsibility away, it has remained in wide use. It does not have stealth and does not fly exceptionally fast, nor does it have the greatest payload. But it is cheap and easy to use, and this has allowed it to remain in wide use in the Marshite Air Force. The Marshite Militia uses it as its main bomber- more than one enemy has been blown into dust by the unending carpet bombing of a Militia Air Fleet, Strategic.

1x ISB-183/3 Erinys Intercontinental Strike Bomber
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

The Marquesan government developed the ISB.183/3 "Erinys", a variable-geometry, four-engined supersonic bomber which cruises at Mach 1.82 using military power and can dash to Mach 2.62 and more than 19,000 meters altitude. The immense size of the Erinys bomber affords it a massive fuel capacity and a truly intercontinental range which is theoretically unlimited with in-flight refueling. Erinys is a sophisticated lifting body design with slender, low-aspect wings which can be swept out for takeoff and landing or back for supersonic flight. The fuselage is a wide, flattened Delta shape, with twin vertical tails at the rear on either side of the aircraft's jet exhausts. Its four massive turbofan engines are in two widely spaced nacelles under the wing boxes, where the airframe is most reinforced.

1x TE-01B Dymuh (Talon) VTOL Gunship
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The Dymuh (Talon), Pronounced: "DEaemoo-ha", is a vertical takeoff and landing aerocraft that supports a tilt-engine design in similarity to that of the tilt-rotor concepts. The Dymuh is Haruspex International Armaments next-generation replacement for several of it's helicopter gunship models. The development of a light attack VTOL was authorized in the early part of the Twenty-Ten. Primary role was to act in the role formerly filled by attack helicopters but had to have the ability for the design to be able to act as an attack aircraft.

The Dymuh was first seen by the Occidental nations in late 2013 when it was deployed on the Keorin, a Cay Kut class amphibious multi-role assault ship. Even though it filled the role more of an attack helicopter, it was given a fighter style codename and was called the Dymuh.

The most important feature of the design is its small size. Due to being designed for the Krokodil class amphibious assault carriers, it is designed to be as small as possible and has folding wings to further reduce deck area. Because of this, the armor is lighter than in most other attack VTOL designs. The armor is still far more extensive than in refitted attack helicopters and can take about twice as much abuse as the old helicopters. The lift engines are mounted in the base of the wings and the aircraft mounts two forward thrust engines in the main fuselage of the attack craft's fuselage.

1x TR-02 Aykma (Eagle) VTOL
Manufactured by Haruspex International Armaments; Machina Haruspex

The TR-02 Aykma (Eagle) is a tilt rotor design. The aircraft flies much like a conventional aircraft in most cases but the blades can be flipped upwards so that the aircraft can hover. The aircraft is much faster than helicopters in level flight but can hover just like a helicopter. The design fills many roles including transport, gunship, electronics warfare, and anti-submarine warfare.

The TR-02 'Aykma' can carry up to twenty troops or a variety of other cargo. The aircraft carries decoy launchers for self defense. Also, a maximum of eight missiles or a larger number of smaller ordnance can be carried on the wings except the airborne radar version of the TR-02 'Aykma'.

One role envisioned for the aircraft was to make missile strikes against enemy vessels when the threat assessment was low and fighters were not required. For ground attack roles, mini-missile ppds such as Hellfires are sometimes carried to clear an area before troops are landed. Usually, torpedoes would be carried on anti-submarine versions of the aircraft when operating in the anti-submarine role. Both the transport and anti-submarine warfare versions of the TR-02 'Aykma' have a cargo hook.

The anti-submarine warfare version carries a dipping sonar and magnetic anomaly detector (known as MAD gear) for submarine hunting. In addition, the aircraft can carry a large number of sonar buoys. A total of thirty-two sonar buoys can be carried in the cargo hold. The anti-submarine warfare version of the TR-02 'Aykma' has a crew of four with two of the crew acting as sensor operators.

1x MIHD-16 Talon Bane Strategic Bomber
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The MIHB-16 Talon Bane is a multi-role, long-range bomber, capable of flying intercontinental missions without refueling, then penetrating present and predicted sophisticated enemy defenses. As part of the Marshite bomber fleet, it joins the MISB-03 Stalker as the first bombers into enemy territory, and joins the MIHB-11 and MIHB-17 as a mainstay of the Marshite bomber fleet. It is not as cheap as the Hammer, carry anywhere near as much weaponry as the Mailed Fist, or is capable of striking what the Stalker can strike, but no bomber is as competent in a penetration role.

1x MIHB-17 Mailed Fist Heavy Strategic Bomber
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The MIHB-17 Mailed Fist rolled out in great number due to the simplicity of its construction, even at such a large scale. It flew in formation for the first time hours after the Stalkers did their part and reduced enemy air defenses in a district of the Cultist capital. Each Mailed Fist contained enough munitions for three Talon Banes, and did so much faster- flying more sorties and by the end being the dominant air support factor in the battle. For the next thirteen years the Mailed Fist would cut its teeth on strikes in the Cultist capital as Marshite forces choked the life out of their enemy room by room. Ever since then, it has served as the primary heavy bomber of the Marshite military.

The MIHB-17 is likely the last in the line of traditional bombers, but anyone who believes that such weapons have no place in the modern battlefield have never seen the shadow of the MIHB-17 as it flies above. And those who have seen that shadow rarely live to tell the tale.

2x F-117
Manufactured by one of our North American suppliers

A very distinctive, radar defeating shape has made this plane famous. It was the first aircraft designed around stealth technology, and it was meant to be a multi-role fighter, but was heavily relied on as a bomber as it didn’t quite perform up to standards as an agile dogfighter. It is mostly retired but some are still on reserve status.

1x MLC-850 Modular Logistics Aircraft
Manufactured by Covenant Arms, Holy Marsh

The MLC-850 is a modular logistical aircraft designed to support one of several major logistical tasks. It can be the largest cargo aircraft yet made, the highest capacity aerial refueler, a large mobile hospital, or any number of other roles. First deployed during the tail end of the Marshite Civil War, its enormous size and modular ability has made it a one of a kind logistics aircraft.

2x SSP-47/3R3 Blackheart Bomber
Exported by Royal Marquesan Exports, Marquesan

Blackheart is one of the largest and heaviest carrier-launchable tactical bombers in service anywhere.
SSP.47 is capable of performing at very low level, (often only meters over the ground) where its high supersonic cruise speed and stealth are used to evade the possibility of intercept by high level surface-to-air missiles. The aircraft's climb rate is high for a bomber, allowing it to pitch-up for weapons release. Moderate wing loading and a comparatively high thrust-to-weight ratio permit fighter-like handling, which makes the Blackheart effective at terrain following flight. SSP.47's flight ceiling at nearly 19,000 meters permits high level weapons release for either of the missiles it carries.

The Blackheart can take super-capital warships from the air, from 400 miles away. Launched supersonically and flying at 17 km for most of the flight, its Witiko missiles would be challenging to hit with an anti missile system doing M3.86. Once the Witiko drops down in terminal attack, it is too low and moving too fast to hit for most CIWS, there's essentially little that fleet defense could do about such an attack. The Witiko warhead has 8/10 the power of a ton of TNT.

3x XL-2 Vukodlak Liaison Plane
Manufactured by South Belka Aviation; Exported by Lauzanexport CDT, Lauzanne

Perhaps the strangest of the three X-Planes created by Lauzanne, the Vukodlak by all external appearances looks like a larger Dracul with windows, is actually far more than simple appearances will show. A rather mysterious plane in LAF service, the Vukodlak is a unique form of liaison plane built off of the same frame as the Dracul and the Vampir.

Capable of seating roughly 8 passengers as well as the two pilots, the Vukodlak is built with one purpose in mind: Secret transport of personnel. Whether it be insertion of commandos via the rear bottom hatch (converted rear centreline weapons bay) or extracting a High Value Individual out of a country with very few people being able to detect or intercept it, the Vukodlak fills a unique role in unusual strategies and tasks. For long flights it has a refuelling probe, as well as a galley and toilet taken from the Dracul and expanded for what little bits of comfort it can allow.

However, it should be noted that despite its lineage, it is not a fighter jet and should not be treated as such.

While student pilots will be training on these jets, they will also actually be flying live missions, acting as livery pilots, so to speak, for high ranking USGSC personnel, including contracting agents from Intexa, shuttling them to various global destinations on important USGSC business.

AIRCRAFT & SYSTEMS PROPRIETARY SECURITY

ELECTRONIC DEVICE USAGE

It should be noted that there are security measures in place in agreement with all the manufacturers of the aircraft and systems used in training at the Academy. This was to ensure the ability to acquire the wide ranging air fleet that the USGMAA has at its disposal to train top notch pilots like no other flight academy in the multiverse.

During class time, there are no personal cellular/electronic devices allowed on either the instructors or students inside the classrooms. Personal communication breaks during class time are at set intervals and staff and students are allowed to utilize their devices then, which are secured in lockers outside the classrooms. These are the only times during the class schedule where personnel are allowed to access personal electronic devices. Picture taking is not allowed on base grounds whatsoever. Hand drawing of restricted aircraft schematics and systems is also not allowed. There are non-restricted aircraft schematics and manuals issued for student usage. These policies, along with USGSC's Intexa cellular monitoring and detection of encrypted transmission bursts, are agreed to by both students and instructors by signed waiver upon entry into the program.

Any violation of these standards is grounds for immediate expulsion from the program, along with seizure and inspection of the offending device(s). An immediate and aggressive investigation by Intexa (The USGSC's intel and logistical support branch) personnel will be undertaken. This is also agreed to in a signed waiver by staff and students. Furthermore, if any transmission of proprietary materials to unknown foreign sources is detected, it will be reported to the manufacturers effected, along with the student identity, and transmission destination, so that their national agencies may follow up and act upon the leak.

MATERIAL REVIEW

Students and staff may request to review the materials concerning aircraft and systems used in the school in our safe material review vaults. A librarian on duty will log and check out and in all materials. All electronic devices and recording devices, including paper and writing utensils, will be checked in with security prior to entry to the vaults. Additionally, Faraday cage and other bandwidth blockage proofing are built into the vaults to prohibit illicit transmission of sensitive materials. Within the vaults, instructor and student personnel may review manuals, schematics, and other materials relating to aircraft and systems within a set given time limit that will be issued by security personnel.

Violation of these standards, as with scheduled classroom activity, is grounds for immediate expulsion upon investigation, along with reporting to the effected national agencies, as agreed to by signed waiver of instructor/staff and students.

Upon exiting USGMAA facilities/bases, all non-USGSC personnel: students and staff, are subject to search of persons and property in search of any illicitly gained proprietary/secret materials. Personal electronic devices will be scanned with former instructors and students present who own them. All class notes are subject to review by Intexa personnel before departure to all foreign destinations.

The USGMAA expects the ultimate professionalism of all its students and instructors, but the necessity to outline the procedures is paramount to security and cooperation with our vendors.

Instructor Applicant Name: Merril, Héloïse
Previous or current held rank: Adjudant-chef (Current)
National Air Service or organization: Forces Aériennes Des Gaules (Gaulic Air Force)
Birthplace: Remiville, Gaul
Particular Expertise: A Ground Crew Chief with years of experience. She can work on just about any model of aircraft and make it excel in its mission.
Models of Aircraft Familiarity: Rafales, Typhoons, Tornados, Mirages, Warriors, Gripens, Raptors, LIRCAS, LIRATs, Barons, Generals, and several others.
Experience: Adjudant-Chef Merril has been in the Gaulic Air Force for 12 years. Her first combat service was during the Qasifyan Troubles (2011-2013) and then, after being promoted to Crew Chief, in the Northern Tavlyrian War (2013-2016).

Background (At least 3 full paragraphs):
Merril was an average student in her formative years, but found it hard to stay out of trouble as she fought boredom. She often got into mischief traveling to Paritte, the Gaul capital, and getting in with a bad crowd there. Military duty saved her from the harsh Gaulic penal system.

Merril was trained at the Gaul Air Force’s aviation technical school, after surprising her superiors and blasting through basic training. Soon after she found herself being deployed to the deserts of Southern Tavlyria, serving both in Marveille, the Gaulic territory off the Qasifyan coast, then in forward operating air bases inside Qasifya as the TSO coalition expanded operations against the QLA and local warlords.

She learned just what kind of attrition desert sand could have on aircraft, even with proper filters and maintenance. Her adept ability to handle any issue and also improvise repairs with nearly no supplies earned her glowing commendations from her superiors and adoration from the pilots she kept alive and in the fight.

As Gaulic involvement in Qasifya wound down, she found little time for respite back in Gaul as she was sent right back out to Tavlyria, but this time in the North, where the YSR was invading Glisandia and Jumnia and the TSO was called to arms again.
During that time she saw aircraft in just about every condition as they struggled to keep Coalition aircraft aloft against the tenacious YSRAF. It was during this time that she saw a brevet promotion to Adjudant-Chef, equivalent to Chief Warrant Officer in most Anglo militaries.
She stayed on in Glisandia with Gaul expeditionary forces to help train their newly reformed air force in combating a fanatical insurgency that arose after the Yellowsian occupation.

Having retired for a year, she found that retirement doesn’t suit her as well as she thought and she is ready to serve on crews again, this time in a true teaching capacity.

To Whom It May Concern,

Adjudant-Chef Merril is one of the finest crew chiefs to ever serve under my command. She was absolutely dedicated to her work and was able to mentor several ground crew and shape our base support, and ultimately shape the course of the Gaulic air effort during the Qasifyan Conflict, and also from what I hear, the war effort during the Northern Tavlyrian War.

I got the chance to personally know her as my squadron put in many hours and many missions over the desert, and myself and my fellow pilots learned to rely on and trust Chief Merril with our lives.

I have no doubt that Chief Merril will be an absolute cornerstone of your instructor staff should you hire her on to your prestigious company and this new flight school program. I don’t want to blather on at length, but I am available to elaborate on any outstanding qualifications of hers if you contact me at the number included with this letter.

Thank you for giving her a chance to build on this next phase of her life.

Sincerely,

Colonel Mathieu Romaneau,

Background (At least 3 full paragraphs):

Michael Horentius was born on 04 January 1977 to Peter and Mary-Anne Horentius. Peter Horentius was a serving member within the Port Ember Security Forces Marines, whilst Mary-Anne worked several blue collar jobs throughout her lifetime. In 1981, when Michael was four years old, his father died in contact during his country’s involvement in the The Great Multanian Crises. Mary-Anne continued to throw herself into two or three jobs, bars and gambling dens, in an attempt to provide for her son, and dealing with her never ending depression and grief.

This new lifestyle of his mother led to Michael adopting a lifestyle quite common to children growing up in the Waterstad Borough, where he practically raised himself, spending almost all waking hours in the streets, regularly leading to stints of violence and run-ins with the law. Fortunately for Michael, he was admitted into the Port Ember Security Forces Education Institute at age 14, compliments of his deceased father’s veteran status. Surprising to all, Michael quickly grew accustomed to his new lifestyle, and excelled in both educational and military aspects, bar his regular habit of getting involved in fights with his class mates. Here Michael became good friends with the Institute’s Officer Commanding, who protected him from expulsion on several occasions due to his habitual bouts of violence.

In 1999, at age 22, Michael graduated from the Institute with an Aerospace Bachelors, and officially joined the Port Ember Security Forces Navy, Aviation Branch, joining the Naval Aviation School directly after completing Basic Military Training and Officer’s Formative. Despite not being known for excelling (but not being horrible) in theoretical work, Michael quickly proved himself to be a savant in the air – being a true born talent within an airplane. In 2002, Michael graduated from Basic Naval Aviation School, and accepted a posting at 76 Naval Fighter Squadron, where he continued to attend advanced courses.

In 2011, when the Hawklands Conflict broke out, Michael’s squadron was the first to be deployed in the area of operations, where after many years of training, he finally got the opportunity to engage in live combat. During this conflict, Michael extinguished himself as an excellent pilot, and once the conflict ended, was awarded with numerous medals for bravery and distinguished service.

In 2015, Port Ember became involved in the Ashmore Conflict, where Michael’s squadron was once again the first into battle, where Michael achieved the legendary status of Fighter Pilot Ace, shooting down a total of 9 confirmed enemy fighters.

In 2016, Michael was deployed during the Borzenian Civil War, where Michael’s jet was shot down by a anti air installation. After five days on the run, he was rescued by a locally deployed Task Force 79 (Special Forces) team.

Michael was back in conflict during the Port Arthurian Conflict in 2017, where Michael became a Navy Aviator legend, being responsible for the sinking of a Ukranianstanian Aircraft Carrier, and continued to lead his Squadron in the sinking of several smaller warships, and numerous successful target suppression missions.

In 2018 Michael became known as the most decorated Naval Aviator, after becoming a Double Ace (for a total of 14 air to air kills), and leading his squadron in the crippling of an entire invasion fleet, during the Iarann Grudaifh Invasion Attempt.

Michael has been serving as the Officer Commanding & Chief Instructor of the Naval Aviation School since 2019 until current.

Official Correspondence From The Republic of Port Ember From: Admiral Charles Vane Chief Navy Port Ember Security Forces Navy To: Intexa Personnel Recruitment; USG Military Aviation Academy Subject: Official Personnel Reference Encryption: High-End To whom it concerns I greet you. I write to you today with a mixture of pride and great sadness, as this correspondence serves as my personal and official personal reference for Captain (PESFN) Michael Horentius, who has recently forwarded his job application to your esteemed organization, as an instructor. The reason why this brings me pride is the fact that Captain Horentius is, without ego boosting, one of the greatest pilots whom have ever served within the Port Ember Security Forces Navy, amongst a very long list of heroic and talented aviators. The mere possible opportunity for helping such a legendary character spread his wing and share his talent with the world, is surely a dream come true for any proud Port Emberian. This also brings me great sadness, of course, as the Port Ember Security Forces Navy stands to lose such a marvel of a man to the private sector, alongside his skill, talent, experience, leadership and morale boosting abilities. Saying goodbye to the Officer Commanding of the prestigious Naval Aviation School is always difficult, but even more so in Michael’s case. In any case, please know that hundreds upon hundreds of men and woman can and will vouch for Michael’s skill, bravery and experience, as do I personally. Your organization will be blessed with good fortune if you chose to employ him. I remain available at any time for any qualification/career queries during your vetting process.

Official Correspondence From The Republic of Port Ember From: Air Marshal Alex Wright Chief Air Force Port Ember Security Forces Navy To: Head of Training (or relevant position); USG Military Aviation Academy Subject: Enrollment of Students Encryption: High-End To whom it concerns I greet you. I write to you today with the knowledge and authority of the Chief Port Ember Security Forces, Marshal Heinrich Teach, and the Minister of Defense, Honorable Jan Breytenbach. The reason for my correspondence today is of a special nature, relating to a very special request, so please allow me to share some background first: As you no doubtedly know, the Port Ember Security Forces has a long and proud aviation history, both in terms of producing some of the finest aircraft known to mankind, and using these fine aircraft in warfare to ensure the protection of home & hearth, prosperity and regional safety. Despite our long and colorful history in this sphere, my organization (the Port Ember Security Forces) has never operated a truly dedicated Testing Facility, instead depending upon the facilities of our manufacturers and organizing ad hoc teams to execute the infamous Military Viability Testing phases. Whilst this modus operandi has been successful for the past 70 or so years, the Port Emberian mantra has always been "Improve daily, or fail miserably". It is due to this mantra that the Port Emberian Minister of Defense, Honorable Jan Breytenbach, had authorized the establishment of a new Air Force Testing School, where all newly proposed aerial products are to be tested extensively, in conjunction with the manufacturers, as part of the development phase, which will ensure that our stringent quality standards and constant reach for success, is achieved. In line with the Minister's vision, I have earmarked four of the Air Force's most talented, decorated and resourceful pilots, with the aim of developing them into our nation's very first Official Test Pilots, and Test Pilot Instructors. I am aware that should you accept, that such an undertaking would cost your institution much more in terms of planning, economy of effort, economy of time management and utilization of physical resources, when compared to your already established learning programs, and thus my organization is willing to compensate you for your effort and services, far above your standard rates. Lastly, please know that the identified students really are the cream of the crop, carefully selected by myself and a team of experts. Each one of these men and women has years upon years of experience within the cockpit, are highly educated, experienced instructors, respected leaders and valiantly decorated due to past combat actions. I know that I am asking much of your organization, but due to the past experience and relationship with your parent company, I am confident that future success is on the cards. Please contact me in case of any additional queries. Find attached Application Forms. To your Health & Wealth!!! Signed Air Marshal Alex Wright Chief Air Force Port Ember Security Forces

Background:

Lt Col Edward Finńighan is a veteran and Ace fighter pilot, and the current Officer Commanding of 12 Squadron (a Fighter Squadron comprising 5th Generation X-16 "Phoenix" jet craft).

Edward was born and raised in Port Ember Megalopolis, where he joined the Youth Cadets during his High School years, whilst attending the prestigious Lilly Black Memorial High, where he was elected Head Boy in his last year. Upon graduation, he enrolled within the Port Ember Security Forces University, where he obtained his Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, whilst also completing Basic Military Training and Officer’s Formative, gaining the probationary rank of Candidate Officer, at age 22. He graduated with his degree with the third highest overall scores.

He continued to enroll into the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy, where he commenced the vigorous Pilot Training Cycle, which kicked off with the Basic Air Force Pilot Training Program (1 year), seeing himself promoted to Flight Lieutenant. Immediately following this, he attended the Advanced Pilot Training (1 year), and finally the FAR (Fighter-Attack-Recce) Level 1 Training Program (1 year). He also met his fellow classmate here, Nathaniel Haklen during this period, who became his training wingman - and later wingman for every recorded operation - and best friend for life.

Now at age 25, after 7 years of education and training, he was officially considered a true qualified (albeit rookie) pilot. Thus, he was transferred to his first Operational Squadron, 122 Squadron, which is a designated Fighter squadron, equipped with X-15 "Fire Hawk" multi role fighters. Unlike other pilots who first undergoes years of on the job training and experience, Finńighan was deployed to his first combat operation when the Equinia - Port Emberian War erupted. At the end of the war, both he and his wingman had become legends within the Air Force, as both men scored three air to air kills, garnering them the Emberian Cross Bronze Class, prestige and promotion to the rank of Captains.

Over the following five years, Finńighan and Haklen continued to hone their skills with extensive on-the-job training, joined the Air Force Jetcraft Acrobatics Team, garrison duties, advanced pilot courses, and completed their studies, earning their Masters in Aeronautical Engineering.

The next opportunity for combat came in 2011, when 122 Squadron was deployed during the Hawklands campaign, where he and his wingman did not get any opportunity to engage in dogfights, but were credited for a very large number of successful air to ground strategic strikes, suppression of air defenses and air reconnaissance sorties.

Four years later, Finńighan and Haklem transferred to the newly established 12 Squadron in 2015, equipped with the newly released X-16 "Phoenix" jetcraft, which were called to combat 2 months after establishment, to participate within the Ashmore Conflict. It was during this conflict that Finńighan finally joined the ranks of fighter aces, shooting down an additional 3 aircraft (for a total tally of 6), and becoming the first pilot to score an air to air kill with the newly released X-16 "Phoenix" jets.

Two years later, Finńighan scored two more air to air kills during the Port Arthurian Crises, whilst his wingman, joined the Fighter Aces ranks.

Finńighan and Haklen transferred to the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy in January 2018, working as Fighter Jet Instructors until the end of 2020, whilst being promoted to the ranks of Major.

In 2021 Finńighan and Haklen were transferred again upon request, back to the famed 12 Squadron, where Finńighan accepted the post as Squadron Officer Commanding, and the rank of Lt Colonel, whilst Haklen accepted the post of Squadron Second in Command.

In January 2022, the Chief Air Force, Air Marshal Alex Wright, chose Finńighan and 3 other pilots personally to start up and lead the new Test Pilot Base of the Air Force.

Background:

Major Nathaniel Haklen is a veteran and Ace fighter pilot, and the current Squadron Second in Command of 12 Squadron (a Fighter Squadron comprising 5th Generation X-16 "Phoenix" jet craft), and the life long friend and wingman of Lt Col Finńighan.

Nathaniel was born on Oxbay Island, within the city of Greenford, where he attended LeSantos High. Upon graduation from school, he became a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter for two years, taking the scene by storm by winning the lightweight championship at age 19. Unfortunately for Nathaniel, he became involved in a spade of bad decisions, culminating in a massive fight erupting in a nightclub, where he killed a man in self defense. Despite the court ruling the resulting death as an act of self defense, the Judge was of the opinion that due to Nathaniel's background as a professional fighter, that he had to carry a large degree of blame, and thus offered him the choice between jail time, or joining the Port Ember Security Forces.

Thus, he retired from professional sport and enrolled within the Port Ember Security Forces University, where he obtained his Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, whilst also completing Basic Military Training and Officer’s Formative, gaining the probationary rank of Candidate Officer, at age 24.

He continued to enroll into the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy, where he commenced the vigorous Pilot Training Cycle, which kicked off with the Basic Air Force Pilot Training Program (1 year), seeing himself promoted to Flight Lieutenant.

Haklen on the other hand scored two kills, becoming the third pilot to achieve a kill in the new aircraft.

Two years later, Haklen scored one more air to air kill during the Port Arthurian Crises, thus joining the ranks of Fighter Aces.

Finńighan and Haklen transferred to the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy in January 2018, working as Fighter Jet Instructors until the end of 2020, whilst being promoted to the ranks of Major.

- Considered to be a Close Air Support expert.

Background:

Lt Colonel Natasha Gale is a veteran & decorated Attack Pilot, having served in a total of 06 (official) conflicts, and is serving as the current Squadron Commander of 66 Squadron (a Close Air Support Squadron composed of Y-09 "ThunderRaven" Strikers).

Natasha Gale was born and raised in Port Ember Megalopolis, where she joined the Youth Cadets during her High School years, whilst attending Greenfields High. Upon graduation, Gale enrolled within the Port Ember Security Forces University, where she obtained her Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, whilst also completing Basic Military Training and Officer’s Formative, gaining the probationary rank of Candidate Officer, at age 22.

She enrolled into the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy, where she commenced the vigorous Pilot Training Cycle, which kicked off with the Basic Air Force Pilot Training Program (1 year), seeing her promoted to Flight Lieutenant. Immediately following this, she attended the Advanced Pilot Training (1 year), and finally the FAR (Fighter-Attack-Recce) Level 1 Training Program (1 year).

Now at age 25 and 7 years of education and training, she was officially considered a true qualified (albeit rookie) pilot. Thus, she was transferred to her first Operational Squadron, 66 Squadron, which is a designated Close Air Support squadron.

Over the following five years, Gale continued to undergo extensive on-the-job training, peacetime operations, garrison duties, advanced pilot courses, whilst completing her studies, earning her Masters in Aeronautical Engineering. She was promoted in 2010 to the rank of Captain.

In 2011 the Hawklands Campaign erupted, where Gale saw her first combat missions, flying a large number of Close Air Support sorties, and was credited for a large number of enemy personnel and armor kills. She was awarded the Emberian Cross Bronze Class for her actions.

Following the conflict, she was assigned to 999 Squadron, a Squadron with Secret classification, as it is attached to Task Force 79 (Special Forces), presumably for operations during the Port Emberian War on Terror Campaign over the period of 2012 - 2015.

In 2015, Gale was transferred back to 66 Squadron, and promoted to Major. Later during this year, her Squadron was deployed to the Ashmore Islands during the Ashmore Conflict, where her actions earned her the Emberian Cross Silver Class.

The following year, Gale and her Squadron deployed to Borzinia during their Civil War, where she once again excelled in Close Air Support missions, before being downed by anti aircraft defenses, during a Suppression of Air Defense mission. This mission caused an outrage once Gale (and four other aircraft) were downed, as the use of Y-09 ThunderRavens are not allowed to be used for these missions according to policy. Gale was captured behind enemy lines and held in captivity for 7 months, where she was tortured extensively. She was eventually rescued by the Port Emberian Special Forces (Task Force 79).

Upon her return, Gale was reassigned to the Port Ember Air Force Academy until the end of 2018, where she worked as a Close Air Support Instructor, whilst receiving intensive physical and mental rehabilitation from the injuries sustained during her capture.

In 2019 she was reassigned back to her old Squadron, 66 Squadron, where she was assigned as the new Officer Commanding and promoted to the rank of Lt Colonel. In 2020 when the Iarann Grudaidh - Geonal War erupted, she led her Squadron into combat once more, where her valiant actions earned her the
Emberian Cross Gold Class.

In January 2022, the Chief Air Force, Air Marshal Alex Wright, chose Gale and 3 other pilots personally to start up and lead the new Test Pilot Base of the Air Force.

- Competent in Aircraft: U-19 "Boulder" Utility; U-20 "Gargoyle" Utility; U-21 "Golem" Utility; U-21 "Golem" Transport; U-21 "Golem" Tanker.
- Considered to be a Supply Aircraft expert.

Background:

Lt Colonel Ellen Makó is a veteran & decorated Utility & Transport Pilot, having served in a total of 03 (official) conflicts, and is serving as the current Squadron Commander of 121 Squadron (a Air Support Squadron composed of U-21 "Golem" Transporters).

Makó was born and raised in Port Ember Megalopolis, where she joined the Youth Cadets during her High School years, whilst attending the prestigious Gold Coast High. Upon graduation, Makó enrolled within the Port Ember Security Forces University, where she obtained her Bachelors Degree in Aeronautical Engineering, whilst also completing Basic Military Training and Officer’s Formative, gaining the probationary rank of Candidate Officer, at age 22.

She enrolled into the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy, where she commenced the vigorous Pilot Training Cycle, which kicked off with the Basic Air Force Pilot Training Program (1 year), seeing her promoted to Flight Lieutenant. Immediately following this, she attended the Advanced Pilot Training (1 year), and finally the TTB (Tanker-Transport-Bomber) Level 1 Training Program (1 year).

Now at age 25 and 7 years of education and training, she was officially considered a true qualified (albeit rookie) pilot. Thus, she was transferred to her first Operational Squadron, 121 Squadron, which is a designated Combat Air Support squadron.

Over the following five years, Makó continued to undergo extensive on-the-job training, peacetime operations, garrison duties, advanced pilot courses, whilst completing her studies, earning her Masters in Aeronautical Engineering. She was promoted in 2010 to the rank of Captain.

A year later in 2011, the Hawklands Campaign erupted, where Makó made her debut in combat missions, conducting paratrooper drops in hostile air space. Following her very intense trail-by-fire, she continued to conduct supply drops for own forces caught behind enemy lines, taking hits to her aircraft during almost every sorty conducted. Due to the fact that her plane took so much damage over such an extended period, yet never being brought down, she gained the pilot nickname "Lucky". She was awarded the Emberian Cross Silver Class for her bravery.

Following the end of the conflict, Makó was transferred to 999 Squadron, a Squadron with Secret classification, as it is attached to Task Force 79 (Special Forces), presumably for operations during the Port Emberian War on Terror Campaign over the period of 2012 - 2015. It was during this period where she was awarded with the Emberian Cross Gold Class, although the mission specifics for this award is classified.

At the outbreak of the Ashmore Conflict, Makó was transferred back to 121 Squadron, where she flew paradrop, hotzone air supply drops, tactical air landed operations and hotzone extraction sorties, all to great (lucky?) outcomes. She was awarded the Emberian Cross Bronze Class for her role in the conflict.

Following the end of the war, Makó got married and fell pregnant, thus she temporarily transferred to the planning office, solely conducting administration until giving birth to her daughter, Amy-lee Makó.

Ellen Makó returned to active pilot service in early 2017, just before the Port Arthurian Crises erupted, which saw Makó again conducting several risky long distance combat air support drops. She also flew air resupply sorties during the latter part of the conflict over the atlantic ocean, twice a day, for two weeks on end.

Once the war had ended, Makó transferred to the Port Ember Security Forces Air Force Academy in 2018, accepting a promotion to Major, in a Instructor post. She excelled here, winning the prestigious award of Best Instructor for three continuous years in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

In 2021 Makó was promoted again to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, accepting the post as TTB Chief Instructor.

In January 2022, the Chief Air Force, Air Marshal Alex Wright, chose Makó and 3 other pilots personally to start up and lead the new Test Pilot Base of the Air Force.

Background:

Juan Corasco grew up in the large coastal city of Nueva Vista. His family has hailed from generations of fishing folk. While he had a relatively good upbringing, and loves his family, his heart belonged up in the air as soon as he glimpsed his first plane. While his family was disappointed, they understood, except for a grandfather who disowned him.

As a young recruit to the Fuerza Aérea, Juan was an eager learner. With consistently high marks and what seemed to be a natural talent, he rose quickly. Even though service in the San Rositan military is controversial, even in the early days of Juan's career, Corasco has never been discouraged or thought he was serving on the wrong side.

With tensions often elevated with their western neighbor, Gran Ventana, Juan has been on the front lines flying sorties to interdict Ventana flights that often transgressed San Rositan air space. He is the only pilot with two confirmed kills during the various border conflicts, which go back in history, before even human flight, to almost two hundred years.

As one of the top pilots in the San Rositan Air Force, Corasco was also selected to serve overseas as part of San Rosito's contribution to the Coalition that hunted down the QLA terrorists in Qasifya, and the militia warlords that supported them.

Unfortunately for Juan, he was selected to stay home to train new pilots during San Rosito's participation in the Northern Tavlyrian War to turn back the YSR invasion of Glisandia and Jumnia.

As tensions with Gran Ventana rise yet again, the top brass hope that Corasco can help form the core of a new domestic flight school to build up the experience of the Fuerza Aérea.

Col. Masuhito,

I have been told that Juan Corasco needs an introductory letter to enter into your Academy. In our nation, Major Corasco would never need such a letter as his reputation precedes him wherever he goes. He is legend.

Juan has practically built the modern day San Rositan Air Force on his back. Of course I exaggerate a little, but not by much. Major Corasco has been instrumental in shaping the way we face challenges in our region and also responding to responsibilities overseas to our allies.
I say this as his former commanding officer in the 12th Gold Condors Squadron, where he was, and continues to be, an integral part of operations

He has always shown an aptitude to learn new tactics and apply them to his career.

He makes me as proud as any flesh and blood son could make me, even though he is not my own.
Please accept Juan Corasco into your school, both for his benefit, and that of our nation.

Sincerely,

General Francisco Tibal Erlan,
Commanding Officer of the 1st Air Wing,
Rafindo Air Base,

To the esteemed Colonel Masuhito,"

Jattian Cellanda is

By virtue, fighters tend to be at the forefront of kinetic diplomacy and national pride. Our nations seem to understand that international instability is ever increasing due to the intensified actions of both hostile NGOs and Nations alike. Your academy, despite consisting of those of many different places, have one notible quality in value- to preserve the self determination of free nations from aggression.

Capitan Cellanda is our contribution to this strife.I cannot disclose every sortie he had partaken in, but I can speak for his character. Endurance conditioning and high altitude interdictions are overlooked aspects of areospace combat, as is abiding by terms of engagement. Fatigue was never a determining factor in his performance nor his decisions. I can personally vouch for his professionalism in the face of adversity, having been a long time superior to him. My place is with the ADN, but, with my reputation on the line, will endorse him for this position to carry on priceless onto the next generation of gallant air warriors.

I thank you for your time and consideration,
