Akerson Hill
- Osean Central Peninsula -

Geography:
Akerson Hill is located on 0728'19"N and 16803'23"E geographical area lying on the largest peninsula within Osean Territory. The terrain is made up small rolling hills and plains. Many farmers have plowed out many green fields in this area. Many wind-power electric generators can be seen in here as well, scattered around the farming area. As it possesses a long shoreline at the north, it is prone with natural disasters, such as windstorm and earthquake. This area is covered by the Osean Anti-Aircraft system.

"Handful of Hope"
On 22th October of 2010, Akerson Hill witnessed aerial patrol operations carried out by Osean 108th “Wardog” Tactical Fighter Squadron. During the operation, the pilots encountered a damaged Osean transport plane designated "Mother Goose One". The transport was accidentaly attacked because its objective was transport Osean President, Vincent Harling, to negotiate with North Point as neutral territory with the Yuktobanian Prime Minister. This “mission of peace” was officially marked as "classified" causing the plane's IFF to not be uploaded to the western AA sites computers, which fired any aircraft that did not transmit an Osean IFF number. The Wardog squadron escorted the C-5 through the AA coverage area and was also protected from incoming Yuktobanian fighters. After a spy killed the pilot, “Mr. Cargo” and his support staff had to make an emergency landing. Wardog squadron assisted to provide a safe emergency landing.

The “crew” of the C-5 transport were rescued by an approaching squadron. The squadron called themselves "8492nd Squadron" and relieved the Wardog squadron. That was in fact Balkan aggressor squadron "Grabacr" operating within the Osean Air Defense Force, OADF. It was a piece of the “master plan” to create another conflict with devastating results. The Belkans manipulated both sides in order to regain their former glory of world power, before the Belkan War. The Osean President was kidnapped from Akerson Hill by the “8492nd” and placed in a cell within Steir Castle to “watch over” the seven vaporized Belkan cities.
