Cape Britt Air Base's location, built into the vast hypogeum under the city, allows for air superiority readiness found nowhere else in the country. An interceptor can scramble to the city's defense in less than eight minutes. #art #digitalart #illustration #webcomics

Cape Britt is commonly called ‘The Battlement City,’ owing to its highly defensible site atop a marble cliff. Now a hub of the financial sector and home to Cape Britt Air Base, the cliff has served as a lookout point in conflicts as old as history itself. #illustration #digitalart

Although Air Force personnel receive permanent callsigns during training, some, such as WSO Cassandra ‘SUNSHINE’ Oliveras, have successfully influenced other crew to use their preferred, nonstandard callsigns. #characterdesign #illustration #digitalart #ComicArt #aviation

The sophisticated network of high altitude/long endurance (HALE) drones and supertall radio masts on which modern wireless communications rely represents decades of planning and investment, from which several telecom giants have emerged.

Primitive communities abound in the exclusion zone south of the Curtain, although by their nature their population count is unknown.

The Curtain represents the crowning achievement of modern engineering, spanning the entire length of our northern border and towering to dizzying heights. Not one incursion of the northern border has occured since its completion forty years ago.

Prior to the loss of SKIPPY's aircraft, PEREGRINE reported a sighting of an aircraft possessing a SILHOUETTE not matching any known in our inventory.

The Curtain program continues to employ thousands of public and private sector staff to ensure upkeep and recommend improvements.

The persistent threat of long-range strategic bombers spurred the development of interception aircraft that continue to serve well into the current century.

Major David 'PEREGRINE' Leischowitz boasts one of the highest guns kill counts in Air Force active duty. His prowess and tenacity earned him position as flight leader for Tycho Squadron and its second-in-command.

During his first mission as Tycho 5, Second Lieutenant ▓▓▓▓▓ 'Discipulo' ▓▓▓▓▓▓ (referred to as 'Skippy' by his wingmates) lost control of his aircraft 65 kilometers south of the curtain in a suspicious incident involving his flight leader.

Although scientists in the 1950s theorized that artificial satellites would one day revolutionize communications, warfare, and espionage, to date there have been no solutions to pierce the Kesslersphere that would be practical at scale.
