The Aerospace Defense Force is the air and space force of the Hyborian Armed Forces. The ADF was first established as the Army Flying Signal Corps in 1910, later becoming the Army Aviation Corps in 1914 during the 2nd Hyborian Continental War as a more combat-oriented force. It would be tied to the larger army administration until the late 1940s after the end of the 3rd Hyborian Continental War when it’d be renamed to the Army Air Force. Following the Federalization of the continent however the force was separated from the army, as the mission profile of the air force expanded greatly to include ballistic missile defense, asteroid-interception, and emerging space exploration.
It would get its final name, the Aerospace Defense Force in 1960.
