History
Before the Belkan War
In December 1989, the South Belka Munitions Factory began the construction of the Excalibur in North Tauberg and finishing the tower four years later, declaring it operational in 1994.
The Belkan War
Baptism of fire
During the Belkan War in 1995, the Excalibur was used by the Belkan Military when the Allied forces began their push into the country, taking out a single fighter squadron during the invasion of Glatisant in May 17 and two days later, Excalibur was used to wipe out an Ustian cargo aircraft unit in an attack over the Schayne Plains.
The end
After the Schayne attack, the Allies located Excalibur's position and launched a raid on Tauberg. Accompanied by the 4th Air Force Unit, the 66th Air Force Unit broke through the radar jamming network protecting the tower and destroyed it after a heavy offensive, causing it to break in half and collapse.
After the Belkan War
Nothing more is known about the region after the Belkan War, only that probably the nuclear detonations modified the ecosystem radically. It is also presumable that the Excalibur's remains are still there.
