Brief Lore:

The second world war had ended, and it was now the beginning of the cold war era. Now based in Tactonia, DLA had created a new branch called Zeta Works, primarily focused on meeting the demands of the Tactonian military.

After securing funding to develop a new twin-engine, jet-propelled bomber, work begun immediately. The first prototype was finished within the first one and a half years - Being an entirely new concept, the first design had many issues. After being delayed for two months, a new request was made to redesign the aircraft into an attacker, leading to a rather strange mix of design choices.

After another three months of development, the final prototype was complete, taking flight on November 21, 1953. The aircraft was approved and given the designation JG-45A "Vulcan". The Vulcan entered service in 1954 with over 500 aircraft being delivered to the Tactonian airforce in January.
