New Content
Vehicles:
Luminary Mk. II Harbinger
Faction: Warden
Type: Fighter Aircraft
The backbone of the Alliance Sky Brigade, the Harbinger excels at both strafing ground targets and dogfighting with its twin, front-facing machine guns. Not willing to be outclassed by crude Mesean engineering, Luminary—formerly a northern Caoivish industrial engineering firm—set to work on designing its Mk. I prototype. Sleek, aerodynamic, and so fast it screams, the Harbinger’s design is intended to give the Nevish Alliance a psychological edge on the battlefield as much as it provides air support.
Toxot-902 “Blind Silver”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Fighter Aircraft
The Toxot-902 is a modern variant of the first warplane to ever see combat; it tears across battlefields laying down strafing machine gun support but excels in air-to-air dogfights. Easy to manufacture and field in large numbers, “Blind Silvers” often give the impression of a volley of arrows soaring overhead.
Tulka P4 Welkinrive
Faction: Warden
Type: Bomber Aircraft
A Nevish bomber that was developed in direct response to a lack of aerial heavy explosive support during Alliance operations. Having been repeatedly waylaid by Tzykalia bombers along the Sorovian coast, it became clear that the Sky Brigade needed to improve their armada. The Brigade commissioned a light and fuel-efficient bomber still capable of deploying catastrophic payloads.
V-1 Tzykalia
Faction: Colonial
Type: Bomber Aircraft
A large, deadly bomber capable of delivering high volumes of explosive payloads. While the V-1 Tzykalia requires a proficient bombardier crew, this Velian-made aircraft has an infamous reputation overseas on the Katoma front. Facing minimal air-to-air resistance, a full squadron of Tzykalias led by seasoned captain and ace lodesman Calliope Bibas erased a large Estrellan fortress in the desert region of Sorra Blava off the map. This operation left Alliance presence in the west reeling, furthering Republic ambitions in the region.
M925 Austringer Man-O-War
Faction: Warden
Type: Torpedo Bomber Aircraft
The M925 Edellian bomber is the Alliance Sky Brigade’s ace at air-to-sea combat. Featuring twin torpedo bays and a rear-mounted machine gun, the Man-O-War is a veritable threat to any ship’s hull or would-be assailants. The M925's unique capabilities overdelivered, as it was originally conceived as nothing more than a short-range coastal defence bomber. During the M925’s first operation off of the Katoman coast, a small squadron single-handedly sank a Titan. Her crew had no idea how their ship filled with seawater as torpedo after torpedo bored into the underside of her hull.
Mergo-4 “Myrmidon”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Dive Bomber Aircraft
This unique dive bomber quickly deposits small payloads with more precision than its larger, less mobile counterparts. Bombing first and asking questions later, “Myrmidons” often lead larger bombing operations. Its effective hit-and-run tactics soften larger targets or clear out emplacements that may pose a threat to less manoeuvrable aircraft or incoming convoys.
Rinnspeir Mk. I Zealot
Faction: Warden
Type: Paratrooper Transport Aircraft
A recent addition to the Alliance Sky Brigade, the Zealot is a first-of-its-kind dropship out of Sorovia. Its large fuselage and cargo bay facilitate transporting entire paratrooper units and dropping them into the fray with ease. The Zealot is best paired with escorts, as it doesn’t boast much in the way of firepower, but once it deploys a retinue of Cloudrunners, it circles back to base to load up the next squad.
V-5b Pegasus
Faction: Colonial
Type: Paratrooper Transport Aircraft
A handful of these Velian-made aircraft are capable of depositing entire platoons of Colonial paratroopers deep behind Warden lines. In fact, these selfsame paratroopers are feared throughout the north for their commitment to night diving and opening their chute late enough that even an observant enemy might blink and miss their descent. While most paratroopers have a short lifespan, one trio that called themselves “The Furies” successfully completed over one hundred combat jumps into Caoivish territory. It’s believed The Furies are responsible for sabotaging countless Warden operations in the north and played a pivotal role in Legate Thea Maro’s “Operation Sunfall.”
Mercy
Faction: Warden
Type: Aircraft Carrier
The Mercy-class carrier, commissioned to aid the Alliance Sky Brigade in combating the rapid deployment of Colonial aircraft, is fitted with several launchpads to rapidly deploy aircraft from any oceanic location. Mercys were designed to be self-sufficient in defending against aerial bombardments and ship-to-ship defence. Originally, this class of ship had a different designation, but Bright Mercy, great-grandfather of Archon Fionn Mercy, had it changed once he’d seen it in person. To this day, the story goes that he fell to his knees and sobbed at the sight of it. “It was akin to witnessing a god.”
Tulka I1.9 White Raven
Faction: Warden
Type: Light-Fighter Aircraft
This unique Nevish fighter was specially designed to be launched from Mercy-class aircraft carriers, with the flexibility to operate in different environments. Fitted with several front-facing armaments, the White Raven is known to swarm enemy armadas out of nowhere. They soon find themselves careening out of the clouds.
Poseidon
Faction: Colonial
Type: Aircraft Carrier
The Poseidon-class Aircraft Carrier represents a masterwork of military might for both the Republic Coastal Legion and the Colonial Aeronautics Corps. This massive vessel rivals even Titan-class battleships in scale. Upon launching the first ever aerial assault in the north, it became clear to the Mesean Senate that the sky was the future of warfare. Republic Command was quick to put concerted effort into further developing the Aeronautics Corps capabilities. Before a single plane marked by a Caoivish flag passed through clouds, the Poseidon had been launched. Following the success of the Poseidon, Combat Magister Curio was stripped of his position, having wasted resources investing in submersibles.
Luminary Mk. IV Herald
Faction: Warden
Type: Scout Aircraft
The Mk. IV is a lighter Luminary aircraft designed for high and low-altitude intelligence gathering. Living up to its namesake, the Herald has been instrumental in thwarting several Colonial operations in the west. What it lacks in resilience and firepower, it more than makes up for in flexibility.
A51 Venti “Daedalus”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Scout Aircraft
Inspired by passenger seaplanes, the A51 is an extremely proficient scout plane. Dubbed “The Daedalus” by countless crews for its intrepid design, pontoons and foldable wheels give the flexibility to land, refuel, or observe enemy movements under various conditions unrivalled by more conventional aircraft.
Bellweather by VAC
Faction: Neutral
Type: Mine Boat
A simple vessel designed to lay out and maintain naval mines. Manufactured by the Venchin Auto Corporation, the Bellweather was originally commissioned by the Wenitan Naval Guard. Sensing further opportunities to profit, VAC began marketing the Bellweather to navies beyond Katoma, finally reaching Caoivish shores.
Das Krokodil by VAC
Faction: Neutral
Type: Light Freighter
This deep water Venchin Auto Corporation light freighter is a sturdy vessel that specializes in seaport-to-seaport deliveries. As a deep water ship, Das Krokodil can’t safely reach land-based shipping structures.
68A-4 Ronan Fathomer
Faction: Warden
Type: Infantry Boat
This naval escort ship excels at sea-to-air engagements, providing friendly naval vessels with critical protection from enemy aircraft. The 68-series remains one of Patrick Ronan’s favourite designs. Having been commissioned by the Watchers to aid in coastal investigations, this modification—given the designation A-4—has since eclipsed its forebear’s ubiquity.
K-81e “Sombre”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Infantry Boat
The “Sombre” is an escort gunship that excels at deterring air-to-naval aggression. Fitted with paired machine gun turrets and boasting a heavier frame than most vessels of comparable size, this Kraunian-made K81e emerges at a moment’s notice to defend its charge.
Rinnspeir Ornitier-Class Gunship
Faction: Warden
Type: Gunship
Known as the “Bounty Hunter of the Sea”, the Ornitier is a deadly ship-to-ship weapons platform. While not as manoeuvrable as smaller vessels, its sturdy frame allows it to take much more punishment. Twin gunwale-mounted cannons provide ample firepower to punch holes in enemy ships, while its bow-mounted RPG launcher ends any chase before it has a chance to begin.
Strider
Faction: Colonial
Type: Gunship
A small but sturdy naval weapons platform excelling in ship-to-ship combat. Deadly to both enemy vessels and crew, the Type D comes fitted with starboard and port-facing machine guns alongside bow and stern-facing cannons.
81f-f Ronan Blackguard
Faction: Warden
Type: Siege Boat
A shore-strafing gunship, the Blackguard’s heavy mortar blitz makes short work of coastline bunker networks. Sporting ample storage for mortar shells means a no-frills approach to overall engineering. While the Blackguard may need a nearby escort, it more than makes up for it with pure guile.
Type B - “Lucian”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Siege Boat
This shoreline “bunker buster” packs quite the punch to any unfortunately positioned enemy emplacements. The Type B was gifted its colloquial name in jest in response to the discovery that its first-ever captain, Lucian Kelly, once served in the Caoivish Naval Command.
Type C - “Charon”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Gunboat
A small, versatile naval jack of all trades. The “Charon” is fitted with a single mortar cannon and two tripod mounts. Effective at both shoreline assaults and hit and run tactics against larger vessels.

SC-3 Aerial Interceptor Array
Faction: Neutral
Type: Super Structure
A radar that detects aircraft across a large effective radius and must be built atop a solid foundational hardpoint within bunker systems—for both operational stability and defence. The SC-3 Aerial Interceptor Array, or AIA, uses state-of-the-art technology to emit short radio bursts that provide aerial intelligence to nearby receivers and entrenched anti-aircraft defences.
DAE 5b “Zeal”
Faction: Colonial
Type: Emplaced Anti-Air Cannon
A sturdy, stationary cannon for bombarding low-flying enemy aircraft with explosive shells. The DAE 5b anti-aircraft emplacement has become infamous for walls of black smoke its payload leaves behind.
Leary AA-70 Bolas
Faction: Warden
Type: Emplaced Anti-Aircraft Cannon
A late entry into the Leary arsenal, the AA-70 Bolas was a direct response to a sudden uptick in Colonial aerial aggression. This emplaced cannon excels equally at both slowing and bringing down enemy aircraft.
Infantry Support Gun Pillbox
Faction: Neutral
Type: Field Defence
This reinforced pillbox fires a 30mm support gun at approaching enemy vehicles.
E681-B Hullbreaker Minefield
Faction: Neutral

Many won’t make it to adulthood.
Paratrooper’s Ruck
Faction: Neutral
Type: Backpack
A paratrooper's basic kit. Includes minimal survival gear to improve weight distribution and account for parachutes.
Auster’s Harness
Faction: Colonial
Type: Colonial Paratrooper Uniform
CAC paratrooper’s gear consisting of a sturdy harness clasped over a jumpsuit. Infamous for ruthless aggression, few sights drive true fear into Warden hearts more than Colonial austers dotting the night sky.
Cloudrunner’s Vesture
Faction: Warden
Type: Warden Paratrooper Uniform
Typical Alliance Sky Brigade paratrooper’s kit. Cloudrunners were once an elite group of deserting mercenaries with a death wish that, due to their consistent bravery and valour, were integrated into the larger ASB fold.
