It is 1937.
The United States of America, ravaged by the Great Influenza Epidemic, the Wall Street Crash, and a powerful regionalist sentiment across the country, is no more.
Once two of the world's greatest nations, North America has become a hotbed of crime, anarchy, depravity, and war. The many American nations of this new landscape are locked in an endless struggle between each other for power and security. But there are those who don't bother themselves with the politics of this new world, and instead choose to plunder and profit from the chaos that covers the world. Air Pirates.
You are one such individual. What will your deeds accomplish? Will you join the ranks of many beloved heroes of the sky, pulp novels and comics written about your exploits? Or will you become an infamous monster, the bane of the Air Militias and the terror of the common man? Who will you fight, who will you aid, and will you be able to profit in these Crimson Skies?
