In 2005, a request had been pushed through requesting that it was time to replace the dual darklight engine jet that the Inheritor Army had been using for decades, and so came about the IT-57-A1. It was to be armed with two 20mm Rapid Firing cannons and a large amount of access areas for payloads to be held as this was a multi-role jet. After 2 years of development, testing and troubleshooting, the first jet was completed at the Willmerhouse II Factory at [*REDACTED*] and was sent to [*REDACTED*] Inheritor Air force Base in [*REDACTED*] on May 13, 2008. Over 6,500 of these jets including other variants exist and are at hard work to this day.
