As long as you payed, you were capable of being transported to any of the few planets where war had yet to rage. Ragna, with it's beauty and massive oceans was a favorite, but many didn't get a choice of where to go if they were truly desperate and couldn't afford to be picky. The recruiting programs that had began when Ragna began to first receive large quantities of refugees had had startling success, hundreds of healthy and eager refugees signed up to learn to fly and fight. As a result, numerous squadrons were formed as well as elite flights of four. Those flights showed significant talent and a knack for flying that the rest simply didn't have, but there were only so many of them and a limited number of the new VF-31s to give them. So fighter production facilities were built as needed. Little did they realize that that just made Ragna a massive target.</div></span><br/><br/>"Lieutenant! It's time to get up! We've got the next patrol set along with Theta Platoon!" Called a voice through the door of one of the lucky talented few. "There've been some spotty activity over on the northern side of the continent that the brass want checked out! We'll get a detailed description of the readings they've been getting during the briefing, but you gotta hurry, the rest of us have been up for an hour already!" They continued before the speaker's footsteps faded away. Ever since they built the fighter maintenance and construction facilities, there had been strange readings and whatnot all over, Usually they'd be dismissed as some odd phenomena, but during wartime, you could never really be too cautious.
