Cain Air Base (ZAFB Cain) is an air base located in Osmino, North Kandson, along the southeastern edge of the city and the banks of the Sarits River. Built in 1955, the North Kandson Air Force has ownership, and administrative and military control of the base. Since 1982, however, the base has been leased by the Zamastanian Air Force, a result of negotiations of João dos Senell during the Vasilin Sea crisis to create deterrence from Saterocean aggression in the region. Two fighter wings of the Zamastanian Air Force are stationed at the base, consisting of Z-14 Osprey and Z-17 Condor detachments and UAVs. At the outbreak of the Roca War, Zamastanian forces at the base were issued a stand-down order, but upon the Rettoan incursion into Osmino, Zamastanian forces were cleared to conduct airstrikes against enemy forces.
