Estovakian Air Force

The Estovakian Air Force is the 2nd largest air force on the Anean Continent. This military arm is one of the world's strongest as roughly 90% of its active pilots were veterans of the Estovakian Civil War.

History
Before the Ulysses1994XF04 collisions, the Estovakian Air Force originally operated solely for national defense. After the asteroid hit, Estovakia gradually fell into ruin, fed by economic and political crisis. Through a series of violent coups by military leaders, the government changed hands, and these military generals declared war on the Republic of Emmeria. The Estovakian air force had a great build up before the invasion.

Strigon Squadron
This squad is part of Estovakia's 370th Aviation Regiment, 9th Tactical Fighter Squadron of Estovakia's Central Forces Precinct. Stationed aboard the P-1112 Agaion Heavy Command Cruiser, the Strigon Team is a flexible strike force that can launch operations from literally anywhere on earth. This squad was created sometime before the Estovakian Civil War, where it fought with General Gustav Dvornik's Eastern Faction. After the war, the squadron combined with the Vampire Squadron to compensate for numerical losses. Strigon fought in many major battles of the Emmerian-Estovakian War. Its flight leader during the Estovakian Civil War and the subsequent was Lieutenant Colonel Victor Voychek, and he was killed by eagle 7 that known as the "ghost" after Estovakia attack at Gracemaria was repel. After Voychek's shotdown, he finally killed by eagle 7. The squad had several temporary flight leaders, until a permanent replacement was made in his protege, Major Ilya Pasternak, but died by eagle 7. After his death in the Second Battle of Gracemeria, the Strigon squad was relegated to Chandelier defense purposes. It is unknown what has happened to Strigon after the war, there were 4 remaining survivors of Strigon team, of which 2 of them are MIA.
