While the majority of PATHOS operates around a structure of QRF from maritime forces, Naval Air Forces play a key role in the rapid interception of maritime, aerial and anomalous threats and the Foundations Aerial Defense Network is one of the few barriers protecting the Foundation, as well as the wider world, from nuclear destruction. Falcon-2 and Sigma-9 pilots are highly elite, and ensure that the Foundation is capable of responding to any threat profile, either near the Installation or across the world.
