*"Peacekeepers? Who the hell are they?"
"Aces. They're pilots who believe in the Federation first over their own country."*

The **Federation Peacekeepers (FP)** are elite Federation Air Force military units that are loyal to the Pacific Federation over their own country. True to their name, they are normally meant to defend and prevent situations from escalating to outright conflict by locking down entire airspaces in nations, and are not intended to wage wars.

## Overview

Peacekeeper Squadrons are typically made up of native elite pilots and Federation devotees from most major member states, deliberately so as prime examples of Federation service to their home countries. Crimson Team was the Peacekeeper Squadron assigned to Cascadia, and was known for being its most brutal, merciless, and decorated.

Prior to the Cascadian Conflict, most Peacekeeper Squadrons had their planes maintained in parade colors (just like most of the Air Force's) in a sovereign hubris to flash their colors in front of their (most of the time) outmatched foes, and their worldwide deployments involved strikes on mercenary and pirate bases and threats (including in the Periphery, proving the Federation's complete domination against all resistance. Their emblem is even a red version of the Air Force's.

## History

The Peacekeepers were involved in the Oceania War, being assigned a Cascadian liaison military officer named Morgan Elizabeth during the conflict.

By the start of the Cascadian Conflict, the Peacekeepers - specifically Crimson Team - did not actually arrive in-country (likely due to a prior, unrelated deployment) until a few days after the Fall of Presidia. Their first known true deployment during the conflict was just before the Raid on Apodock Fracture; at the time, Crimson was exhausted on fuel and ammo and only reluctantly responded to the attacks. It was at that point Crimson first encountered Hitman Team as well as their leader, Monarch, who would be the Federation's eventual undoing. The mercenary squad would get away unscathed, something Crimson 1 would regret later on. Following the Apodock encounter, the Cascadian Peacekeepers would spread word of Hitman - and Monarch's - exploits, leading to some failed attempts to eliminate them on anticipation. Some, however, would dismiss the threat.

The Peacekeepers would encounter Hitman once more at the Bering Strait during a massive furball, having been rerouted from another theater. Despite grouping tactics and concentrated efforts on the mercenaries, Crimson would suffer a humiliating defeat, losing five members and hundreds of allied fighters. Nearly one month later, a Peacekeeper, Crimson 7, would be made to test out the PW-Mk.I in Sawaiiki. She would flee the island to the Federation Core States to ensure the experimental jet was completed.

Crimson was later ordered to cover Federation retreats all across Cascadia, being spread thin when the Cascadian Calamity Event occurred. Two months later, they would be sent on their final flight and encounter against Hitman Team at Prospero, the epicenter of the disaster. All except Crimson 1 himself would be slain by the mercenaries, leading to him going insane and attempting to enact his revenge on Monarch three weeks later, using the now-completed PW-Mk.I.

The entire war would cost the Federation most of its Peacekeepers, likely from Cascadia invading Magadan as well besides Crimson Team's demise. This would put them at a military disadvantage when faced with the world's wrath following the breaking of the war's ceasefire.
