Introduction

XHAA-2055 Odin was under development for a long time. Although Its origins are unknown, some rumors are saying that its development has started in 1988, and later it was suspended due to the lack of funding from the government. After 10 years the further development was initiated by a new director of ZeroHours construction bureau - Maxim Minin. Odin is a high-technology super-maneuverable UAV. Its supposed to be a fighter, but in the later time the rapid firing Impulse cannons were installed, and so it became capable of Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground combat.

About the Overseer squadron


If the first Odins were, in fact, just drones controlled by a human pilot remotely, then this special, tactical squadron runs on the most advanced unnamed AI platform.

The Overseer squadron (aka the Number Triple Zero team) was initiated by the group of professional programmers to develop a brand new self-learning AI which could control the freshly made agile UAVs. The Overseer squadron consists of 2 units, "Alpha" and "Omega", both of them are AI.

A lot of people were claiming that this AI is somehow based on the Belkan Z.O.E. platform, but engineers and programmers, working on "Alpha" and "Omega", reject these statements. But still a lot of information on this squadron remain classified.
