Blake Aviation Security is the premier security firm in North America. Founded by playboy-adventurer Paladin Blake, BAS has a presence in every nation in North America, save only the Disputed Western Territories and pirate-friendly Free Colorado. While favoring the William and Colt Peacemaker 370, Hughes Bloodhawk and the McDonnell S2B Kestrel (which was featured in the earlier beta version of Crimson Skies), BAS has a wide range of aircraft to call on, as well as a number of light-to-medium zeppelins.
