The Royal Acrean Air Force is the aerial and space warfare branch of Acrea, a part of the Acrean Armed Forces. It was formed in 1915 as a successor to the Royal Army Air Service, and at the time of its creation was the largest air force in the region. It is the youngest branch of the armed forces. The RAAF is administered by the Ministry of Defence and is led by the Chief of the General Staff. Since its creation, the RAAF has served a major role in every conflict Acrea has been involved with since. It maintains a long tradition of innovation and development, and is responsible for numerous aeronautical milestones in Tyran including the development of the first production jet fighter, advances in early supersonic flight, and pioneering the use of unmanned aircraft and very low-observable aircraft.
