Hodston then begins to explain a bit of AIF history regarding the Belkan Weapons:

Hodston: "The AIF has had a long history with the weapons on New Belka. They had been abandoned for a while when a faction called AEON unearthed them, and brought them online. They used these weapons, primarily the Funale Gun, against the AIF. In one of the final battles of the war, a massive air armada of fighters were sent to clear the defenses, and disable the weapons. The attack was a success, and the AIF secured these weapons for their own use."

"Research teams made detailed measurements and blueprints of the weapons, documenting every detail of their design. Indeed, the AIF still holds several city leveling Funale rounds in storage. And the AIF even built several scaled down coastal guns based on these weapons. When Delusion came to power, it took up residence in Ne Belka, displacing both the AIF garrison, and the AF from the island. The weapons were then deemed of too little value to take back, though they'd be destroyed if used against the AIF or our allies."

He takes a sip from a drinking glass.

Hodston: "Move forward to the present, and AIF High Command gets word of Delusion's destruction. Realizing that we could reclaim the superweapons, we despatched a force to secure them for the AIF. When the ships arrived, the Gallian beacons hadn't been activated yet, so we had no idea that Gallia had claimed the land. And that is our perspective of these events, now that we know where we both are coming from, we can figure out a resolution to this matter."
