Collosatropolis: A City in Chaos
The once-thriving metropolis of Collosatropolis is now bursting at the seams. Towering skyscrapers dominate the skyline, while pollution chokes the air - and parking is a nightmare.

The Legendary F-27 "Platypus" Takes Flight
In the heart of Mungola, a single squadron of fighter planes stands as the last line of defence—the legendary F-27 "Platypus".
