"Can anyone hear me? That aircraft needs to be taken care of!"

-Princess Rosa Cossete D'Elise, Kingdom of Erusea

Description

Developed by North Osea Gründer Industries, the ADF-11F represents one of the most advanced experimental aircraft ever designed under the Erusean Air and Space Administration (EASA). Initially envisioned as both a UAV and a limited-run manned model, this aircraft is the latter — a highly adaptable multirole fighter that pushes the boundaries of aerial combat technology.

Background

The ADF-11F Raven was developed by Gründer Industries under the Erusean Air and Space Administration’s vision of creating “the ultimate in survivability.” Using flight data collected from legendary pilot Mihaly A. Shilage, Gründer’s chief researcher, Dr. Schroeder, worked to advance the Zone of Endless artificial intelligence during the Lighthouse War.

By the war’s final stages, two unmanned Raven units; Hugin and Munin, were completed, each equipped with Mihaly’s flight data. When Mihaly’s granddaughter, Ionela Shilage, uncovered the project’s true purpose, she destroyed the source data, but not before the two Ravens went online at a remote facility.

During the climactic Operation Daredevil, Hugin and Munin attacked coalition forces near the International Space Elevator, aiming to transmit their combat data to drone factories across the continent and prolong the conflict. However, due to the actions of Princess Rosa Cossette D’Elise and Avril Mead, the elevator’s data systems were disabled, preventing the transmission.

In the final battle, Operation Hush, coalition squadrons, including Strider, Sol, Rigel, Skoll, and Salamander, confronted the two drones. Despite heavy losses, the Ravens were ultimately destroyed by Trigger, ending the threat before their data could spread further.
