The Unifying (Itayana) Solar Air Fleet is the aerial and space warfare command of the United Armies and Fleets of the Unifying Solar Autocracy. It is tasked with conducting defensive and offensive aerial operations to ensure tactical and operational air supremacy of the United Armies, as well as providing airlift and aerial humanitarian operations. The fleet was founded in 1988, when scattered commands and squadrons throughout the Lower Karana and Lower Imo basins were merged into a unified fighting force, while the aircraft plants were combined under the Jointly Blessed United Aircraft Corporation in 1992. It took part in the Central Karana War where it performed well in thwarting the riverine offensive and defeating the Makgato Defence Force Air Corps.
ISAF arsenal consists almost entirely of fighters and fighter-bombers, as it lost its older bombers and COIN aircraft to the Amayana National Army Air Corps in 2012 and strategic bomber to the Strategic Aviation Command in 2016. Most of the ISAF aircraft are either of the foreign origin but extensively modified by various design teams, or locally constructed from the joint research and development contracts. There are several indications of the ongoing localized research and development work and several prototypes were identified over the years, but none appears to have entered service.
The Air Fleet is headquartered in Asima, former capital of the 7th Governorate, the city also housing the Air Fleet Academy, several design bureaus and three production plants.
