A nation forged in fire, now under siege. The Republic of Rafidain: a breakaway state in the ruins of Iraq, ruled by a hardline Shia government accused of harboring terrorists. Its oil-rich plains and ancient marshes are now a battleground, pitting its Soviet-era military and Iranian-backed militias against the relentless American air campaign, Operation Desert Thunder. You are an American pilot over one of its cities, your aircraft painted by SAM radars in the dark. The ground holds a desperate people, a defiant regime, and a sky full of death.
