[font=Agency FB]With the Liberty Navy being the largest fighting force in Sirius the Air Force assets became very safe from Orbital attacks. Airfields, Air Force equipment and personnel were some of the safest out of all the branches of the military. Not wanting to be made completely redundant the General of the Air Force decided it could support the Navy in space by not just flying supplies to Navy depots on the planets surface from the factories. And so, in result the Command in Chief gave permission to create the Air Force's Space Command.

Space Command controls, monitors and handles everything to do with space operations and spacecraft with the Air Force. The leader of Space Command is the appointed General Daniel Winters.

The Navy dominates space and space combat with Liberty's multiple enemies but Air Force Space Command was not formed so that they could send Air Force pilots in Navy equipment to fight in bulk toe to toe with the enemy whoever they may be. Instead the Air Force, with only twenty current pilots (Estimates of roughly 100 by the end of the year) operates as a support force for the Navy. The Air Force assaults the enemy space with the Navy or if the time comes, by itself with a small force. Additionally, the Air Force is not a responding force for law enforcement or piracy acts. Its equipment and pilots are too valuable when in reality a Navy, Security Force or Police pilot would be on station just as quickly.

However there have been cases when Air Force pilots did get tangled into a brawl with the pirates. This has only ever been the case if a trading vessel reaches the pilots local area and calls for aid. Other situations include if the Air Force pilot drops out of the trade lane and catches a trader or vessel in danger. In these situations it is expected of pilots to act in a defensive manner however if the odds of survival are slim, they are expected to always fall back and regroup.

During the last few months of 818 A.S, the Air Force began to design and build their own space ship. Unique to themselves. However progress has been limited due to funding. It is expected to be not until 820 A.S before a fleet of Air Force space fighters can be deployed.

For now, Air Force space combat regulations include limited contact and engagements with pirates and other unlawful groups and more centralised to Rheinland invasions, Alien threats, Order threats and the defense of Bretonia (Leeds & Edinburgh). The Spacecraft Carrier The United States is being deployed under Navy Command with Air Force pilots to Bretonia to support the effort against the oncoming Gallic fleets.
