At the same time, the Odette Space Pirate Fleet began deploying large numbers of carrier-based aircraft.
They swiftly bypassed the densely bombarded central zone and launched an offensive against the Air Force fleet and the lunar base, causing the intensity of the war to rise almost vertically.

That was hardly surprising. Most of those planes were at roughly World War II levels
