	The development of the '''F-0 Avalon''' began in the year 2180, one year after the Type 11 began production. Internally designated as the Type-0, this aircraft was slated to be the replacement for the Type 11, which was already deemed to be fairly obsolete due to its cost to procure and operate. Along with replacing the Type-11, this was intended to be a revival of '''LAC''' as a whole. That is why it garnered the designation Type-0, as it was a reset for the company, a start from zero. Prototype Unit 00 was completed late into 2184 and began flight testing just as Unit 01 was being completed in early 2185. However, this was in the midst of the Northern Crisis, where Zalkent was expanding into some of the territories to the north. The two prototypes were quickly outfitted with weaponry and sent into battle, with the engineers planning to collect valuable data on the airframes due to being in a combat scenario. These two aircraft were often seen as enigmas, even within the RZAC. During an intense dogfight, Unit 01 had its right wing blown off by enemy fire and crashed shortly after. With the pilot surviving and the airframe mangled, development was put on hold due to the loss of Unit 01. After the Northern Crisis, Unit 01's airframe was scavenged and rebuilt, being painted with a red right wing as a symbol of the incident.

This program called for a new, non-stealth Twin-Engine Air Superiority Fighter that would begin production in the year 2200. '''LAC''' brought the blueprints of the Avalon back out and pulled the two prototype airframes out of storage in order to begin modernization and retesting of the design~~. The Avalon also competed against a Mid-Life Upgrade for the Type-11, and later won out due to its lower cost and remarkably similar performance~~.

		+	Following the Avalon entering into service, LAC used the data from the development stage to initiate a modernization program for the aging aircraft that are fielded by the Royal Zalkentian Air Corps. It is called the '''Zero Augmented Kinetic Upgrade (Z.A.K.U)''' Program, and is destined for the Type 11/F-11 Invicta and the [[A/I-44 Illusión]] in order to bring their performance into the new century.
