History

Creation

FASK traces its roots back to a contract issued by President Rhonda Reguwu's Administration relating to returning Kafrican machinery to Low Kerbin Orbit after an absence of nearly an entire century, issued in 2198, the contract was subject to proposals throughout the year by the CK Airforce, CK Army and the CK Coastal Defense Force. The contract was eventually won by the CK CDF, proposing the use of their in development Forerunner launch vehicle, beating out both the Airforce's Farnese-A ICBM and the Army's Jane-A MRBM proposals. This contract was shrouded in controversy as it was claimed by the Airforce's presentation team that the contract had been won because of Reguwu's Comeri background. The Coastal Defense Force's team stubbornly continues to deny this allegation.

In December of 2199, Central Kafrica found itself embarrassed by the televised failure of the Forerunner 1 launch, with the vehicle successfully igniting the gimbaling Eloh Engine, only for the rocket to keel over and partially destroy the pad, the approval to launch had been given by the outgoing Reguwu Administration, its last official act before it began the transition of power to Blimp Drimp and his cabinet. It was an international disrobement of the apparent incompetence of Kafrican Engineering. While the Coastal Defense Force investigated the incident, the Army was given the go ahead by the President Elect to use a modified Jane Missile to launch a small satellite within 100 days of the request. On March 20th 2200, the Army conducted a flight of the Jane-A PGM-11 Missile, wanting to secure the reliability of the main stage that would carry its satellite, New Grunt, which was scheduled for launch sometime in April.

After the test operations at the Teorann-Canfield missile range had concluded, the Coastal Defense Force held a conference, announcing that they would be ready to launch Forerunner 2 on April 1st 2200, a shock to the army.
