The F/A-181 Superwasp is a single-seat twin-engine 6th generation all-weather fighter aircraft. Developed as part of the Vanguard program, the Superwasp became the Republic's main fixed-wing airframe. Equipped with 6 external hardpoints and 3 weapon bays, the Superwasp can carry a multitude of armaments allowing it to carry out many different mission sets. With an advanced radar and warning receiver system, it can detect and evade enemy missiles ahead of its adversaries.

The A-164 is a single-seat twin-turbofan strike aircraft. Sporting a 30mm rotary autocannon, the Wipeout is an advanced tank killer. While slow, the payload capabilities allow for high output of fire. In addition to its fuel-injection system, its wide wingspan and light take-off frame allows it to carry many munitions and remain on site to support ground troops longer than other aircraft. However, this also makes it a valuable target and would require near air dominance to be effective.

The E-21 Vulture is an electronic-warfare utility aircraft designed for the Republic Maritime Corps in 2054 to provide datalink, early warning systems, EW operations, and support flight missions. Replacing the aged 'hawk' EW program, the Vulture contains many upgraded packages suited for longer loiter times, further combat range, a modular configuration system, and a System-Enhanced-Package for carrier usage and lower maintenance hours.

The H-7 series helicopter is a light utility/attack aircraft. Agile, fast, and a small target, the Pawnee is a select aircraft for small special operation teams or rapid-fire support. Additionally, the Pawnee can be used in Recon and transport missions making it a viable fast insert or extraction helicopter. Equipped with shock-absorbing steel skids allows for the helicopter to make hasty landings without damaging the airframe or causing harm to the crew.

The H-2 series helicopter is a multi-airframe aircraft. The U (utility) variant, The Venom, is the Republic's multirole support gunship.

With a large crew cabin and side mounted crew weapons makes it an excellent support vehicle during Infantry Operations. It also carries 2 frame-mounted rocket pods to engage light armored targets or infantry. Sharing over 80% of the same sensors and airframe that of the Viper makes maintenance and familiarity to pilots and crew easy and efficient.

The H-2 series helicopter is a multi-airframe aircraft. The A (attack) variant, The Viper, is the Republic's main attack helicopter. It's main armament, a triple barreled 30mm Gatling gun and multiple anti-tank missiles makes it an armor hunter. Additionally, it sports 2 air-to-air mounting hardpoints allowing it to engage any threats in the airspace. Sharing over 80% of the same sensors and airframe that of the Venom makes maintenance and familiarity to pilots and crew easy and efficient.

The Prelancer AIM-91X is a multi-purpose air and ground target missile. Its advanced infrared sensor array allows for clear discerning of targets and terrain, making it effective at engaging targets at high angles.

The Prelancer AIM-210 is a long-range radar guided missile. Designed to engage airborne targets beyond the line of sight, its impressive range requires a skilled pilot to obtain a sight picture and direction of aircraft.

The Saltec AIM-46 is a high-velocity heat-seeking infrared missile designed to destroy heavily armored targets on the ground. Using a similar array to that of the AIM-91X, its purpose is suited for anti-tank and ground strike.

The Prelancer AGM-65E is a radar-guided air to ground missile. It's payload and smart navigation tracking allows for an effective 'fire and forget' flight path. While turning burns a lot of fuel, the missile can continue in "Glide Mode" remaining on course after fired.

The Prelancer AGM-158X is a purpose-built cruise missile designed to strike targets with anti-missile counter measures. Using a smart GPS-guided tracking system, it can drop to altitude and super cruise towards the target, automatically correcting its path.

The Saltec AGM-221 is a satellite-guided standoff missile designed for extreme accuracy ground strikes. It's size and payload makes it require heavier aircraft but can output extreme destruction and disruption capabilities- making it an effective 'bunker-buster' missile.

The Saltec AIM-R2F is a multi-shot "soft-kill swarm missile" designed at shredding lighter aircraft targets and creating flight-hindering damage without completely destroying the target. While not utilized for combat often, its features make it a great 'fire-and-capture' pylon option.

The Saltec AIM-56U is a multi-shot "swarm missile" designed at obliterating close-range targets by creating mass amounts of sprawl and debris from impact. Not only does this make it impossible to countermeasure, but effective aircraft or drone hunter.

The Saltec AGM-926 is a radar-guided anti-tank missile designed to strike the top or rear of a target, exposing weak points of armored vehicles. Using advanced target recognition, the missile will pop upwards before hitting the target to cruise downward from above.

The Saltec UGR-4 is an unguided 'dumb' rocket used to create volleys of damage. It's free-fire capability makes it an effective anti-infantry or light-armored vehicle munition. In addition, its cheap cost and light weight makes it an effective 'quick-deploy' pylon.

The Prelancer DAGR-12 is an advanced semi-active laser guided rocket. Utilizing the pilot's HMCS laser, the rocket can course-correct based on the angle of the aircraft and where the pilot is observing the target. While not a "smart" rocket, they are effective and accurate pylons.

The RDI GBU-36 is a 500KG 'dumb' bomb used to destroy light to medium targets at closer ranges. With no internal guidance systems, the pilot must utilize the aircraft's own targeting systems in order to land a hit on target.

The RDI GBU-414 is a 1000KG 'dumb' bomb used to destroy medium to heavy targets. While not utilizing any internal guidance systems, its impressive blast radius and effective range makes it effective at destroying targets, even if the munition is off-target.

The RDI GBU-98 is a 5000KG 'dumb' bomb used to destroy heavy and terrain-based targets. While not utilized often due to weight, its an extremely effective 'path-clearing' munition gaining the nickname "Jackhammer" by many pilots and troops alike.

The Alphacon EMB-2 is a forward-rolling attack munition designed at striking targets underneath or behind cover. Once dropped, it will land on the surface, and drive forward of the aircraft's flying direction until it reaches a vertical stop, detonating on impact.
