Tellian Air Force
The Servizio Aeronautico (Istvanistani: Air Service), commonly known as the Tellian Air Force, is the embryonic air defence component of the armed forces of the Tellian Confederation, active during the Kalirion Fracture. The primary task of the Tellian Air Force is to ensure the sovereignty of the airspace of the Confederation, a task made insurmountably more difficult by the fragmentation of the state hitherto into five unconnected city-state cantons, and to provide aviation support to other branches in the implementation of their tasks in joint operations. It is also the operator of the integrated anti-aircraft defence system of the capital, Romero.
The sole jet aircraft capable of performing multi-role strike and air defence missions, the G.55 Tempesta, is a relic of the Ashkenatzim period
