Out of Desperation, Courage is Born.
Today you must decide between life and liberty or defeat and domination. The Eastern Coalition has launched a surprise attack against the Western Alliance fleet, massacring hundreds of dedicated service men and women. We're enlisting pilots for the 45th Volunteers Squadron. We need every able-bodied man and woman to join the fight if we are to successfully launch a counterattack.
