No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.

Description

Breaking all the canons about military transport planes, the Grifoen is not just an another technological curiousity, but a new stage of evolution of rapid cargo delivery worldwide. Grifoens allow EU to control allied and aligned territories far outside the European mainland.
Wherever it’s used - from EU Antarctic possessions to hot deserts of Chad, it proved to give EU an upper hand in concentrating troops and technical reliability (and became the reason Russians started developing a replacement for their classical Il-76 Candid). The plane’s reliability is bolstered by 8 engines. Even if Grifoen for some reasons loses 5 of those - it will still be able to hold long enough in the air.
There were cases when Russian SPAAGs in war-torn Ostslavia incapacitated 6 engines of the plane and it still managed to hold long enough to land in the nearest EU controlled zone in Lithuania.
