The CAC CA-29 Mirage IIIO is an Oceanykan strike fighter which was developed in parallel to the French Mirage IIIE, though research continued independently following the beginning of the New Caledonian War and the subsequent French arms embargo. It is a variant of the Dassault Mirage III powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon jet engine and armed with two ADEN Cannons. However, it incorporates a number of technologies derived from Project Liberty, as every component was manufactured using every material known to Algeochemistry. This allows it to comfortably reach Mach 3 in flight, and its cutting-edge avionics can be made compatible with most air-to-air missiles with minor modifications. Some of its modifications are the following:
- Mithril stressed-skin fuselage.
- Bluemetal-construction Rolls-Royce Avon engines.
- Bluemetal ADEN cannons firing Firedust ammunition.
- Orichalcum-integrated avionics (Tesla Electronics Z6X4 and Thomson-CSF Cyrano II-OZ Radar).
Though each CA-29 costs as much as a squadron of modern jet fighters, its capabilities are unmatched by anything but secret military prototypes. Only one dozen prototypes were built before the Revolution, after which Alan Redfort personally cancelled the program for its astronomical costs and the cutting of diplomatic ties with France; of these, none remain accounted for in the OPA Air Force inventory of the mid-1960s. Four of them are presumed stolen by private airmen, while the other eight were seized by the Australian Emergency Committee.
