The Imperial Special Operations Aerospace Regiment [SOAR] is the Army's front for Air Support and surgical strikes, Aerial Recon, Fire Support, and Transportation on Small Scale. SOAR are all highly trained pilots and technicians, technicians who are specially trained at the Imperial Engineer Corps Academy. All Pilots must be trained for a year at the Imperial Aerospace Academy, operated by the Imperial Navy, before being tested on their skills, and then being appointed a certified Pilot with their Wings Pin.
The SOAR Operates at a small scale, being the only Aerial Based Regiment in the Entire Army Corps, because of a larger front from the Imperial Navy, which can provide the same Strikes on Targets, sometimes even surgical, and also Aerial Recon, amongst other duties that SOAR could do. SOAR, however, does have the task for small scale transportation, using Drop Ships, who are escorted by VIPER or COBRA Gunships, among other ideaologies that require a fine touch with a lesser presence, SOAR provides Special Operations or Special Task Missions with the needed air support.
To make their pilots the best and ensuring the safety of their fellow Ground Units, Pilots usually recruited are from the Imperial Navy, with prior experience, giving SOAR an Elite Stature amongst Pilots in the Imperial Military. All pilots recruited Qualify as Special Operations.
All Pilots in the Air Corps wear a Grey Beret with the Flash shown Above, showing they passed the Imperial Aerospace Academy's SOAR Qualification and Training Course [IAA: SOAR-QTC].
All Engineer in SOAR Wear a Blue Beret with the Flash above, showing they passed the Imperial Engineer Academy's Advanced Aerospace Technical Course [IEA: AATC] with High Standards.

The F/R/B-21 'Hex' Multipurpose Stealth Fighter is the only Specialized Jet variant in the entire Regiment. They are the hammer of any SOAR Force, giving superior firepower and destruction in a blink of an eye. The Hex can provide up to 3,000lbs of Bombs to a Combat area, just in it's internal Cargo Holds. If they wanted to as well, Optional Modular Missile Racks can be mounted to the wings, but will break the Stealth's ability to hide the craft. The craft is also an exceptional force against other air craft, having agile movements thanks to it's Element Zero Core and Ion-Propulsion Systems. The Jet can turn metaphorically on a dime, and reach speeds to even outrun Mach 5 missiles if it needs to. The Hex is the sharp edges to SOAR's deadly spear. Hex Fighters are Stationed in the Orbital Assault Groups, Alpha and Bravo Companies.
