Storm Hawks is a Canadian-American animated television series created
by Asaph A. Fipke and was produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment. It
premiered on YTV in Canada on September 8, 2007 and on Cartoon Network
in the United States on May 25, 2007.Storm Hawks is set on a fictional
world called Atmos, a largely mountainous world consisting of
scattered, towering, plateau-like land masses known as terras.
Directly below the terras lie the Wastelands, the most dangerous area
of Atmos, with infernal fires and wicked creatures. Because of the
geography, travel is mostly dependent on flight. The technology of
Atmos is based around energy-generating crystals, used to power the
various devices in the series. Patrolling the skies of Atmos are the
Squadrons, groups of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles
called Skimmers that can semi-transform into flying machines. Each
Squadron is led by a Sky Knight and these warriors are loosely managed
by the Sky Knight Council.In the backstory of the series, an evil
ruler named Master Cyclonis and her servants, the Cyclonians,
threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks led the Squadrons in a war
against them, but were betrayed and defeated by one of their own
(later known as The Dark Ace). Ten years later, the main characters of
the series stumble upon the wreckage of the Storm Hawks' carrier, the
Condor, and unofficially take on the Storm Hawks name in the hopes of
becoming Sky Knights themselves, despite not being old enough to even
legally fly the vehicle. Their youth defeats their ambition, however,
as neither friend nor foe take them seriously because of it.This
changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master
Cyclonis, granddaughter of the previous one. Among her followers are
the Dark Ace, the man who betrayed the original Storm Hawks and now
serves Cyclonis as her right-hand man; Snipe, a mace-wielding strong
man with a fondness for smashing things; and Snipe's sister, Ravess,
an archer who always brings violin-playing henchmen into battle for
theme music.
