Arcerion's Etymology roughly can be translated based of early Carnish settlers language morphing into a local Arco subset of the Ænglish language. The prefix '<nowiki/>''ar''' means ''<nowiki/>'high','' whereas the suffix ''"Ceirean"'' is roughly translated to that of a sea monster. It is inferred from this that early Carish settlers believed that a sea monster lived off the coast of Chester-on-Moore, in what is now the Songun Sea. Based off of the wreck of two different ships, they named the place "''Ar''-''Ceirean"'' which over time was changed through local dialects and spelling to "Air-cerion," with a meaning translating to the place by the cliffs where monsters are. | Arcerion's Etymology roughly can be translated based of early Carnish settlers language morphing into a local Arco subset of the Ænglish language.

The [[Arcer Air Force|Arcer Air Force (AAF)]] is the smallest of the Armed Services but plays the largest role in terms of support domestically to natural disasters as well as maintaining the movement of equipment and personnel across the globe. At this time, it is going through a transitory phase, as it was originally part of the Navy, being born from ship-based patrol aircraft and seagoing search-and-rescue squadrons. As such, the emphasis for fixed-wing aircraft has traditionally been on maritime patrolling, anti-submarine warfare, and bomber interdiction. This only reflects part of the Air Force's storied history, however. The rotor wing assets owned by the AAF have consistently contributed to Arcerion domestic and expeditionary operations, and the Army's recent changes as part of the 2022 Confederate Memo on Defence have resulted in an increased reliance on helicopters for MEDEVAC, close air support, as well as troop lift to support vertical envelopment. The Air Force is split into five distinct branches, those being Air Forces (Land), Air Forces (Maritime), Air Forces (Training), Special Air-Ground Operations, and Air Force Staff & Training. By doing this, the Air Force allows itself the flexibility to support Arcer operations domestically, and abroad. | The [[Arcer Air Force|Arcer Air Force (AAF)]] is the smallest of the Armed Services but plays the largest role in terms of support domestically to natural disasters as well as maintaining the movement of equipment and personnel across the globe.

The Air Force also has the mandate to patrol Arcerion's coastline as well as its own airspace. With the end of the Varshan conflict it has committed aircraft to supporting the humanitarian efforts that are ongoing with airlifts of supplies and aid to those in need. The Air Force uses these opportunities to practice its expeditionary capabilities, such as the mass movement of men, weapons, and equipment far distances to allow it to continue supporting actual ongoing operations. Maritime Patrolling also allows for an increased ability to conduct either civilian search-and-rescue or Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) of which the Air Forces (Maritime) command have been training for since the 1950s. | The Air Force also has the mandate to patrol Arcerion's coastline as well as its own airspace.
