・STORY・

Summer 1945. World War II ended. The world seemed to have regained a semblance of peace.

However, the mysterious international organization “CANY,” long rumored to be colluding with military high commands worldwide, secretly seized control of the military. They plotted to subvert the entire world from within using a new class of weapons that had never reached actual deployment.

The Allied Command Headquarters, quickly detecting the unsettling movements across nations, secretly assembled the world's finest fighter planes and their pilots. They formed the special forces unit, the Strikers, to oppose CANY.

Here, the curtain rises on the final world war, hidden in the shadows of history.
