About Storm Hawks

Storm Hawks is an animated television series created by Asaph "Ace" Fipke and made by Nerd Corps Entertainment in conjunction with Cartoon Network and YTV. It premiered on Cartoon Network on May 25, 2007.

The series is set in a fictional world called Atmos, a largely mountainous world consisting of scattered masses known as terras. Because of the geography, travel is largely 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 Sky Knights, groups of warriors who pilot motorcycle-like vehicles that can semi-transform into flying machines. These warriors are loosely managed by the Sky Council.

In the backstory of the series, an evil overlord named Master Cyclonis threatened Atmos. The original Storm Hawks led the Sky Knights in a war against them and brought the Cyclonians down; however, they were betrayed and killed by one of their own, a youth who would come to be known as the Dark Ace. 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. However, because of their youth, they are taken seriously by few.

This changes when they are brought into conflict with a new Master Cyclonis, who has risen to power with the assitance of none other than the Dark Ace...
