Legio Caelis Custodiae (Superpowers)

The Legio Caelis Custodiae (Aerial Defense Legion or LCC) is the aerial warfare branch of the Roman armed forces. It was founded in 1831 by the Emperor Alexander IV in the hopes of improving the armies ability to scout the battlefield. These original tri-planes were outfitted with radios that allowed them to relay anything they observe, even through pictures, back to a Roman base. For nearly the first hundred years or so of air forces, plane versus plane battles never occurred. In 1854 however the Romans invented the first Deliquium or Bomber, completely changing the way in which they fought wars.

By this time, aircraft had become a staple of the Roman Military and it was almost incoceivable for anyone to fight a war without them. Now this is even more true. The LCC employs more than 1,864,000 people and is the second most highly funded branch of the military, after only the Space Legion. Since 1867, the head of the LCC has been the Kaputis Gubernatrix or Head Pilot, something which was an honorary title in the organization's early years, but eventually evolved into the position it is today.
