−	The Zokesian Royal Air Force finally retired the B-100 in ~~2135~~, as more advanced AESA radar negated its stealth capability. Its name lives on in the [[Z-117 Blackout II]] stealth attacker, and despite its age, the Atreus home guard still maintains a dozen or so Blackouts on active duty.	+	Age and obsolescence saw the B-100 moved to reserve status following the dust bowl of 2135. They were retained for stealth coating testing and tactics development, but never flew a combat sortie in the Gallante War or the Reclamation, and were the first conflicts in nearly 70 years Zokesia did not have stealth attack capability. The Zokesian Royal Air Force finally retired the B-100 in 2165, as more advanced AESA radar negated its stealth capability. Its name lives on in the [[Z-117 Blackout II]] stealth attacker, and despite its age, the Atreus home guard still maintains a dozen or so Blackouts on active duty.

	The '''Zokesia Skunkworks B-100 Blackout''' is a multirole fighter-bomber serving in the Zokesian Air Force. Originally designed as a close air support bomber, the B-100 was the first stealth bomber in the world, and was later developed into a multirole stealth fighter-bomber. It was designed to eliminate anti-air sites and fixed targets on the battlefield while enjoying freedom from Anti-air missile launches thanks the special properties of its radar ablative hull.

	One month after the task force arrived in Bravis, the Zokesian flag flew once again over the capitol city. The islands were reclaimed in a two-pronged landing, following days of precision munitions strikes and ship-based fire. Zokesian Marines took beachheads under withering fire, and in their wake Imperial soldiers, volunteers from Konig, Amber and Kanbek stormed Bravis alongside their Zokesian brothers. Within days the cities and ports were taken, until the last of Strelkan resistance crumbled. The Federal State of Bravis was reinstated as a nation aligned to the Zokesian Federation.

The thin, sloping hull made it extremely hard to track and as a result could slip under the air defenses of any ground site in existence at the time. Tests found gunners could still track conventionally with gunsights below 4 kilometers, and CIWS turrets were able to target it as well at and below 4 kilometers. The weapons chosen reflected this limitation, and the B-100 was outfitted with four AGM-114 Short Range and two AGM-64 Medium Range Air-To-Ground missiles. The attack doctrine was cruise at 6-8km altitude and dive at targets, fire missiles, and break off at 4km. Alternative attack profiles included flying at 3km altitude and firing and breaking off before missile contact, though due to the turn radius of the B-100 the flightpath was risky if the enemy had clustered units to the flanks of the target.

	The B-100 was in danger of being replaced by more modern B-200 "Skipjack" Stealth orbiters, but with engine development problems the project ended up being canceled. A new variant of the B-100, dubbed the "Block 90" featured more ease of control in an attempt to modernize the already quarter-century old aircraft and bring it to the forefront of technology once again.

	The Block 90 was unlike previous blocks a radical change from the original blackout. The landing gear was reworked to allow not only the removal of the launch sled and parachutes, but rough-field capability in takeoff and landing. The countermeasures were reworked and wings moved to accommodate more armament (up to 12 stores from 6), and the vertical stabilizers were tripled in size to increase pilot control. New tail surfaces and canards coupled with a new flight computer gave the B-100 a far more forgiving flight envelope and computer-aided target acquisition and attack run capability. With these new capabilities the B-100 fleet was modernized and now was capable of autonomous attacks against multiple ground targets. Tests showed capability of muti-enemy attack runs, with weapon release capable even while facing 180 degrees away from the ground target. 20 of these new Block 90 reached the Zokesian Air Force in early 2084.

	The block 100 continued development of air-to-air capability, for the first time mounting Aim-9 sidewinders to the blackout to support existing fighters in air-to-air combat. Additionally, radar was added to aquire air and ground targets faster and the cockpit was further redesigned to assist the pilot with visual identification of targets.

	The Service Life Extention Program - Blackout (SLEP-B) was the upgrading of the Blackout block 100, as the threat of new, smaller stealth drones like the K3X were outpacing modern 5th generation fighters like the Z-80Q and Z-106. Large conventional fighters simply could not keep up with the smaller, more nimble drones, and as a result the Zokesian Air Force turned to the only stealth aircraft it posessed - the Blackout. A boost in engine performance came from x4 Afterburning "Tiger" jet engines and the modernization of control surfaces provided quantum-fast reaction time to the pilot. The aircraft was also fitted with even more computerized stabilization and path-prediction software, giving the B-100 block 120 the most advanced air-to-air performance the type had seen. In tests over the Juno Sands Missile Range, captured K3Xs were put head to head with the Block 120. Out of three engagements the Blackout secured victory in two of them, and the design was authorized for mass production, replacing the entirety of the obsolete Z-80Q fighter force. Lessons learned from SLEP-B were put into the Z-80R, which was now capable of peer-to-peer performance with the K3X and brings other Zokeisan allied aircraft up to the modern standard.

The Long-Range radar stations, equipped with the PAC-3 missile, were unable to track the inbound B-100s and failed to lock even when the B-100s passed directly overhead. Following the radar site's destruction the B-100s moved to hunting down Owlian Badger Armored cars, a more challenging task due to their fast speed.
