Ossyran Unified Air Command

=Overview= One of the most high-profile and famous mercenary pilot associations in all of Terra, the Ossyran air force actually contains no 'natural' air units of it's own. Instead, the Ossyran Unified Air Command is an administrative body managed by all of Ossyra's councils, who contract and command a group of various mercenary aircraft units to serve as defenders of Ossyra in the air, while the various Heroes of the world handle things on the ground. Their base of operations is Unity Air Force Base, which sits out in the Bay of Fiorente near Amnis. In actuality, the AFB's main structure was originally a Greine-class aircraft carrier, bought from Lasair and sailed into the bay before being carefully sunk in shallow waters, then surrounded in an artificial island over the course of four years, with the underdecks serving as a subterranean hangar, the main advantage being protection from air attack, and the cost of acquiring the carrier being cheaper than constructing a central airbase in the middle of Ossyra and organising and constructing all of it's road transport and logistics routes. One unit is assigned to each of Ossyra's city-states, and can go from being on the ground at Unity AFB, to scrambling and deploying into their airspace in the event of an emergency in no more than fifteen minutes. Due to each of the individual teams in the group having names beginning with 'C', the OUAC is also known by the nickname 'The Three C's'. They are commanded in-operation by what is, by technicality, the only official Ossyran military aircraft in use - an EFO-7/D Tactician, callsign AWACS Full Spectrum, who directs them in the air.

CHIMERA SQUADRON
 * In charge of airspace above the indomitable Silverlands, Chimera Squadron were the first OUAC unit in service, having actually began life as a penal unit, formed in the wake of the Great Furball in 995, a year after the massive skirmish. Each of Chimera's pilots is the sole survivor of one of the mercenary squadrons that was otherwise wiped out over the Iapetan north coast thirteen years ago, offered a chance to fly in the name of Ossyra's defence in repentance, albeit on a reduced-pay contract, a deal all four took when the alternative was a decade in prison. Comprised of four different pilots, of four different species, hailing from four different nations and flying four different aircraft, there was doubts about whether Chimera - also derisively referred to as the 'frankensquadron', would ever be effective. However, steeled by their one shared drive - a collective resolve to prove their naysayers wrong - the quartet worked together to hone themselves from a ragtag pilot band into an elite team, culminating in their famous defence of the Silverlands from the Millennium Bombing Plot in January 1000, devised by a criminal group intending to hijack KBS Ballistician bombers and drop their payloads over Ossyra to weaken them for a concerted and simultaneous crime spree of high-profile hostage-takings and bank robberies across northern Iapetus, their 'air team' of hijacked KBS planes taking Ossyra's collective attention and making hem think they'd been invaded while they enacted their meticulous plans in the confusion while emergency services were busy with the bomb impact sites. However, the KBS were able to get a message out, and Chimera were scrambled. After an intense dogfight over the Ossyra-Kolodstal border, they were able to shoot down the bombers and their bandit escorts, earning them the praise of their superiors and an official pardon at the next Ossyran Conference when it came around that March. Each still flies their own individual aircraft, tailored to their personal tastes, yet all share the same paint scheme - all-white hulls with sapphire-blue wingtips.

CLOCKWORK SECURITY
 * The only one-man team in the OUAC, commanded by the famous 'Clockwork Commodore', 50-year old veteran human pilot and inventor Michele 'Midday' Deveraux. He is the world's only private operator of the mighty Lu-37 Uragan, though his has been stripped of it's All-Direction Missile Pods in favour of under-wing, standard missile hardpoints, replacing the internal space freed up by the stripped ADMM pods with advanced control network relays and multi-spectrum integrated electronic warfare systems, to be used to command and control a fleet of eleven small interceptor drone aircraft of his own design, numbered I through XI, forming the other eleven points of Michele's 'clockwise' twelve-unit circular flight pattern. His team are controlled and commanded by voice, each fitted with a machine gun, a pair of micro rocket launchers, and a 'dumb' AI expert system that allows them a limited amount of independent combat. However, they work at their most effective when all of them are linked to Michele's Urugan, controlled by it's avionics array and sharing computational power and targeting data with each other in parallel. A native of Azur Limina, and son of two ship captains, it's airspace is his jurisdiction.

CERBERUS TEAM
 * Amnis' defenders, the famous 'three-headed Amnisian guard-dog', who have served on more than one occasion as posterboys on Faber-Albani advertisements. The flight's three pilots are all psychics who once flew as Hunters as a part of The Harriers, but left to join the OUAC, after being promised better pay and a Faber-Albani engineering team to help them with their modified aircraft. Cerberus have intentionally stripped all communications equipment from their FC-2/B 'Arhcer' fighters, as well as their WSO seats and much of the carrier gear - the arrestor hook, the jump strut, and so forth. The reduction in weight has left them with a more agile, fuel-efficient fighter with an abundance of extra take-off weight, which has been used to fit a second revolving cannon, the two now on each side of the cockpit, and a stealth coating and internal passive microwave bafflers into and across the hull, making them much better stealth fighters than any standard Archer or Swordsman could hope to be. Each of their liveries is a solid, matte black, save for one feature - Cerberus 1's tail stabilisers are painted solid red, Cerberus 2's entire left wing, and Cerberus 3's entire right wing, which matches up with their usual V-shaped flying formation. They rely on telepathy to communicate in combat, using a single helmet radio carried by the flight lead to call ground control or relay to and from Full Spectrum, and thus specialise in close-range dogfighting, using their retrofitted stealth tech and total radio silence to close the gap between them and the enemy without being detected, their ability to send images and sensations to each other meaning the three can fight almost like a single entity operating three simultaneous aircraft, seeing as the others see and signalling to each other faster than any radio could hope to achieve. Three minds, one body - hence their squadron's moniker.
