The Imperial Air Service (IAS) is the air force of Vionna-Frankenlisch. It was formed following the War of Restoration in 1980 from the remnants of the old Red Air Force and was based on the Imperial Air Corps and Imperial Naval Air Group which had existed previous to the DPRVF. The previous formations had been made up of minor forces and the IAS is a much more significant unit.
