Mission[]
Search and Rescue[]
These missions are used to rescue soldiers in downed areas deemed as "HNZ", or "Hostile No-Man's Zones". If an air rescue is deemed impossible or will take a long time small aircraft will be deployed to direct the soldiers to the safest area to hold up until a rescue is deemed possible.
Air Sovereignty[]
All aircraft flying into HNZ are deemed as sovereign territory of the Republic. Should they land in a nearby HLZ the following one-fourth sq km is deemed temporary sovereign base territory of Superior until either the aircraft leave or the area turns into an actual territory.
Irregular Warfare[]
While this has not happened to date, soldiers are trained for the event they encounter other aircraft in flight.
