As someone coming from over a year after the balloon incident thingy, here’s my thought: The Chinese balloon was a lie. In reality, aliens just wanted that pure Columbian. So, they came to Earth for it. America shot them down over it. So, America shot down alien drug addicts.
I often wondered myself if there was a division further up beyond the peacekeepers that we don't know of that are under strict secret orders of the Federation, Federation Intercept Specialist Division is just below the peacekeepers with most of their top pilots from the Federation state of Wilhelm, only thing that could be higher than peacekeepers irl are what I would probably call the "Federation Aggressor Force" consisting solely of federation state elite pilots with no political ties or bound by common military court of law and are simply death squads deployed into severe war zones, likely I imagined they became a thing in the background following the mercenary war of Oceania after Frost turned over her fellow mercs for asylum to work under Icarus Armories Contract. I had a name for the top squadron even though it's cliche FAF-07 000097 - GOLD Squad Size: 4 - Byzantium Nationals 1 - Ex Sinai Periphery Pilot Flights: 4 - SK.57 "Crooks" - SU-57's 1 - T/K.201 "Xerxes" - Ta.201 (ARMA III DLC JET) Squad Leader: Tacname - Gold Leader FAF Callsign - Golden 1 Ex SRF Callsign - Solomon Nickname - MIDAS Yeah seems cliche, doubt anyone will be reading this.
