Midway Island

Midway Island is an atoll in the North Pacific Ocean. It is an equidistant point between Asia and North America, and is historically known for the Battle of Midway, a major confrontation between the United States and Japan's navies during World War II. One of its largest islands was Sand Island, which housed a former US Navy airfield during the war.

During the Valahia Crisis, Sand Island was the site of a live-fire exercise between Martinez Security and the 7th Fleet of the US Navy, who intercepted a Valahia air force headed to Japan. After the discovery of the Golden Axe Plan, Fredric Burford and the Antares Squadron used the Sand Island airfield as their base of operations, narrowly surviving and repelling a bombing run from Orgoi airships of the Golden Axe Plan Private Army.
