Islamic militants, backed by a powerful Saudi terrorist, begin raiding civilian vessels in the Gulf of Aden. The United States responds with a cutting‑edge littoral warship equipped with an array of automated weapons, nicknamed by the enemy “Satan’s Tail.”
The conflict escalates as technical glitches and the rebels’ ruthless tactics demand additional support from the skies. Dreamland’s massive Megafortresses and their Flighthawk escort aircraft are dispatched to assist, but professional rivalries among commanders threaten to undermine the operation. A vengeful adversary capitalizes on the chaos, bolstering his outlaw navy and setting sights on even higher ambitions, turning the battle into a global imperative the U.S. cannot afford to lose.
