History

-...

Every young man and woman who attend the Protectorate Academy of Aeronautics comes from families that have shown the uttermost devotion to the Shogunate. At a young age, they are recruited by their local prefecture's Protectorate Commissar and are sent to special military schools. It is a great honor to have been chosen, and each child is reminded so every day of their training through incessant indoctrination.

Among those, the ones who are selected to become Sakura Zero pilots are those that failed to reach the expectation of their officers, but still show unfazed devotion towards their duty. Upon graduation, they are given a special instruction book on how to behave and honor the Shogunate; the book is special indeed, as it includes a particular chapter on the subject of sacrifice. To honor their families, their superiors, their ancestors, the nation, and the Shogun itself, the Tengu Zero pilot knows that, in the direst of moments a warrior can face, they must make the ultimate sacrifice.

... Disguised as an honorable obligation, this system is how the Shogunate removes its capable, but undesirable individuals from attaining higher military ranks in the hierarchy.
