Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is a video game that takes place 15 years before the events of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. The game revolves around the rising of tensions between Belka and the combined forces of Osea, Yuktobania, Ustio, and Sapin. Several characters from Ace Combat 5 make an appearance in Ace Combat Zero, but they appear in tertiary roles. The player plays as a mercenary, "Cipher", hired by the country of Ustio, which was invaded in an attack from Belka. Many elements from Ace Combat 4 and 5 are in this game like "Pops" and the Superweapons.
The game features primarily older versions of fighter aircraft seen in its predecessor game, such as F-15, F/A-18, and several second generation aircraft like the Saab Draken. The player will go up against enemy ace squadrons who feature enhanced weaponry and combat prowess. Players who destroy everything without regard to hostility will receive the "Mercenary" rank, players who instead spare neutral targets will receive the "Knight" rank, and those that strike a balance between the two will earn the "Soldier" rank. These ranks will affect which enemy ace squadrons a player will face throughout the campaign. A split-screen versus mode is included with the game, but no online feature exists.
In Europe this game was released under the title Ace Combat: The Belkan War.

[edit] Story
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is prequel to the previous Ace Combat game: Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. It re-tells the events of a war that took place earlier in the Ace Combat time line. The player is put in control of a legendary mercenary ace, who goes by the call-sign "Cipher" during this war. The story examines Cipher's effect on both the outcome of the war and the opposing aces he defeated in combat. A good part of the story is told through a series of flashback interviews by a journalist researching for an article on Cipher.
After years of internal political unrest caused by the Belkan federal law review of 1988, Belka allowed its eastern territories to secede in an attempt to remedy the ongoing economic crisis that had befallen the country. However, the series of secession that followed did not have its intended effect, but only weaken Belkan borders. Osea, a nearby nation, seized the opportunity and installed pro-Osean governments within the eastern provinces by assisting them in declaring independence. On December 12 1991, a right winged party, on the promise of reclaiming Belkan's former glory, took control of the Belkan government. Shortly after, abundant natural resources were discovered in B7R, a region lying between Belka and the bordering eastern nations. In an effort to seize the resources, Belka invaded the eastern nations on March 25 1995. Initially, they were successful in capturing most territories that were lost to them during the secession. The invasion prompted Osea and their allied nation, Yuktobania to form a coalition and launch a counter-offensive into the eastern territories. In order to compliment their regular forces, Osean and Yuktobanian hired mercenaries.
This is where the story of Cipher and his wingman, Pixy begins.
Their early missions centers around driving the Belkan forces out of Ustio, one of the eastern nations. They succeeded in securing a direct route to the Ustian capitol of Directus, and liberated the city from Belka on May 13 1995.
After securing much of the occupied eastern region from Belkan control, the two mercenaries were ordered into Belka where they begun offensive operations against the Belkan military. At this point, Pixy started to question the validity of coalition's push into Belka. Allied force was alerted to the existence of a Belkan super weapon, Excalibur during a regular escort mission. The Excalibur was anti-ballistic-missile shield, which the Belkan had converted into an rather effective anti-air weapon. The mercenaries were forced to re-focus their attention in destroying this potential threat. On May 23 1995 the Excalibur was destroyed largely thanks to the effort of Cipher and Pixy. Later, the two were involved in numerous sorties including an offensive bombing campaign against the city of Hoffnung on the June 1 1995, where it is revealed that the Belkans are resorting to a scorched earth policy in order to keep their technologies away from enemy hands.
On the June 6 1995, Cipher and Pixy were ordered on a mission to intercept Belkan bombers suspected of carrying nuclear payload. However, this was only a diversion tactic on the Belkan's part to mask their true intention, which turned out to be the detonation of seven nuclear bombs inside Belkan borders. During the confusion immediately after the nuclear detonations, Pixy, in an apparent act of betrayal, attacked Cipher from behind and escaped before Cipher could return fire. Cipher, damaged and without support, was ordered to return to base immediately.
Realizing the extremity of which Belkan government is willing to take in the war, Osean and Yuktobania started peace talk with Belka. A peace agreement was signed on June 20 1995, signifying the end of fighting between armies of Belka and the two allied nations. However, Cipher and his replacement wingman, PJ were sent back into Belka to root out the remnant of Belkan military that had rejected the peace accord. As the fighting continued for the two mercenaries, PJ realized the opposing forces were too large and well equipped to be a mere splinter faction.
During the intercept of the Hresvelgr, a Belkan prototype aircraft on December 25 1995, Cipher and PJ discovered that the "remnant" forces were in fact, a terrorist group calling themselves A World With No Boundaries, formed by disgruntled former Osean, Sapin, Yuktobanian, and Belkan aces and ex-mercenaries with the ideal of forming a border-less nation (thus the name).
Cipher and PJ's final sortie turned out to be the destruction of V2, an ICBM containing a massive nuclear warhead. Before they could accomplish that objective, they were set upon by fighters piloted by members of "A World With No Boundaries". After defeating these pilots above the B7R region, Cipher and PJ arrived at the Avalon Dam in northern Belka. During the destruction of the V2 launch facility, Pixy, appeared in an ADFX-02 aircraft. PJ was shot down over the dam by Pixy, his fate is unknown. Cipher was forced to face Pixy alone in the final dogfight. Cipher was victorious in the end and succeeded in the total destruction of the V2.
The story ended with a final footage, which the journalist interviewed Pixy. He is shown fighting on a disputed border in present-day Usea. He has changed his perspective on why people fight for national identities and borders and has only one thing to say to his former wingman:
"Yo, buddy. Still alive? And thanks, friend. See you again..."
[edit] The Round Table (Area/Airspace B7R)
This particular airspace is one of the main battle zones in the game and the border between Belka and Ustio. Aces who distinguish themselves in this area are known as "Knights of the Round Table".
Known as "Operational Airspace B7R", or more formally "Belkan Priority One Strategic Airspace B7R", it is located at north latitude 24° east longitude 235°. The topography makes the location look like a giant circle with a 400 km radius, hence the name "The Round Table". It is the attack corridor used by Belka to invade not just Ustio, but also its surrounding nations, making it an extremely important strategic location, charged to many Belkan aces to defend. The reason for the outbreak of war is the large cache of natural resources found within this area, making it very hotly contested. It is also the site where the player will encounter many enemy ace squadrons.
The area over The Round Table, is indeceptable to any radio- or distress signals. If you get shot down, it will for that reason be very hard to get a signal through, let alone survive on this barren, empty land. In the Round table you meet many chracters from Ace Combat 5 like Heartbreak one, Grabacr, Hukenbine(Pops) in Mercenary mode; Ofnir in soider mode; and Yellow 13 in Knight mode; also in the Guanlet mission when you beat Espada team inless than one minute in Ace mode you get to dogfight Mobious 1. But you can only see these characters in the mayhem mission, save for Mobious 1.
[edit] Characters
[edit] Narrator
- Brett Thompson - OBC Reporter
A journalist working for the Osean Broadcasting Company (OBC). He is the one preparing a documentary about the Belkan War and interviewing the Ace Pilots in the game. His project is named "Special: Warriors of The Belkan War".

A mercenary and unknown main character. No explanation is given about Cipher's life after the war.
Wingman: GALM 2 (Mercenary) - Larry "Pixy" Foulke: "A Brother in Arms".
Wingman of the main character. He is nicknamed "Solo Wing Pixy" because of a mission where his plane's right wing was blown off but he still managed to complete the mission and return (this has some reference to a real-life incident involving an Israeli F-15D Eagle [1], a two-seat trainer version of the F-15C Eagle, Pixy's preferred plane). He is Belkan in origin. After the war he continued his life as a mercenary. During 2005, when the narrator is interviewing him, he was a volunteer in the Usean Continent and is fighting in the country of Delarus.
Quote: "Yo Buddy. Still alive? And thanks, friend. See you again"
- CROW SQUADRON -- 6th Air Division / 4th Air Force Unit
Commander: CROW 1 (Mercenary) (Reassigned)
Wingman: CROW 2 (Mercenary) (Reassigned)
Crow 1 and 2's status is unknown. After Mission 12, Crow Team is disbanded. CROW 1 and 2 were probably sent into another air force unit.
Wingman: CROW 3, later reassigned as GALM 2 to replace Pixy (Mercenary) - Patrick James "PJ" Beckett (MIA, presumed killed)
A pilot that flies for Valais Air Base's Crow Mercenary Team who happens to fly an F-16. When he finished high school, he traveled alone by motorcycle across the Osean continent. He flies with the main character when Pixy is not part of the unit. Although a capable pilot, he appears to be young and slightly naive often stating that he is fighting to stop the fighting. Pixy does not seem to like his way of thinking. He had a girlfriend who he was planning to propose to. He got shot down after Mission 17 and listed as MIA since it's not confirmed he is dead or alive. His last words were "Dang it!", when his aircraft flew into the path of a laser. It is unknown if this was an accident, or an attempt to shield Cipher. Although he is listed as MIA, it is worth noting that the ending sequence shows a piece of wreckage in the area of Avalon Dam where PJ was shot down. A bouquet of flowers is laid by the wreckage which would suggest it marks his grave.

[edit] Belkan super weapons
Some focus of Ace Combat Zero revolves around Belka's three super weapons. The first of these weapons is the Excalibur Ballistic Missile Defense platform. Developed in 1981, it is a symbol of Belka's military dominance. It is categorized as a chemical laser based weapon which was designed to shoot down incoming missiles and to stop enemy invasions. By utilizing high-altitude aircraft and satellites carrying reflectors, the laser's range can be extended to counteract the curvature of the earth and achieve a range of 1,200 km. This technology is similar in design to the Arkbird's laser system (and to a lesser extent the FALKEN's laser system) in Ace Combat 5 as part of Belka was taken over by Osea and Gründer Industries began to sell its cache of weapons and technology. Also during Ace Combat 5 in the mission to protect the Kestrel the first time there is a SPY radar ship named Excalibur.
The second super weapon originating in Belka is the massive XB-0 Hresvelgr aircraft. Developed by the South Belkan Gründer Industries and built at Mt. Schirm, this gargantuan flying fortress is actually a prototype with no mass production as of 1995. It is designed to act as a staging area and aerial aircraft carrier for air and land dominance operations, and, because of its size, can act as a large-volume transport and bomber. Despite its cost to maintain, the terrorist organization, "A World with No Boundaries", has seen fit to utilize the Hresvelgr.
The third weapon is known as V2. Most likely named for the real-life German V2 rocket of World War II, the weapon is an ICBM containing a multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle. The yield of this weapon is much greater than any other nuclear weapon in existence.
[edit] Ace Style
Your actions dictate who you are now. Nearly every mission contains red (target), green (hostile), and yellow (neutral/neutralized) targets. The player's ace status will depend on how many neutral targets he or she destroys. A player can shift along on a continuum from Mercenary to Soldier to Knight and back:
- Mercenary Ace: An Ace who lives for power. He/she will strike down all opposition for the sake of his/her money & strength. If you go about destroying all of the neutral targets, your ranking will gravitate towards this category.
- Soldier Ace: An Ace who fights with precision. Can predict the situation in an instant and change the flow of battle. To become a Soldier Ace, you must balance destroying neutral targets while letting an equal amount free and/or survive.
- Knight Ace: A proud Ace. Cool-headed, pacifistic and believes in honor. Avoiding the destruction of neutral targets will shift your position towards this ranking.
At the end of the game, the player can view exactly where on the continuum he or she was during each mission.
What kind of Ace you are determines which Belkan Ace squads you will meet in certain missions.
Mission 15 is the last mission which determines what ace style you will get at the end of the game. Missions after 15 will not affect/move the arrow of ace style.
[edit] Trivia
- The presence of a Spanish guitar is present throughout the game.
- Cipher's nickname later in the game is "The Demon Lord" or "The Demon of the Round Table." This is fitting as he is in the 6th Air Division, 66th Air Force Unit. 666 is popularly known as "the Devil's Number" in biblical mythology.
- Galm may be a variation of or phonetic translation error of the word Garm. Garm is a demon dog who guards Hel. There is a demon dog on the Galm emblem.
- Hresvelgr may be a rough translation of the Norse god Hræsvelgr who works, in legend, with another god called Garm. In this mythology, Hræsvelgr is a giant eagle whose name means "Corpse Swallower".
- Avalon is where King Arthur was taken after his final battle with Mordred.
- The Belkan southern defense line is called the Hydrian line. This may be a translation error of Hadrian's Wall, the where Arthorius (King Arthur) and his knights stood against the Saxon force, it may also be a reference to the real life Siegfried Line in Germany.
- All major Belkan ace squadrons are German words for colors: Rot = red, Grun (in German Grün) = green, Gelb = yellow, Schwarze (in German Schwarz) = black, Schnee = snow, Silber = silver, Gault = Gold (Also means "luck" in Spanish)
- The Country of Belka's name comes from the Russian word for squirrel.
- The Kingdom of Sapin's name is a simple anagram of Spain. In fact Espada (Sapin's team) means sword and both of pilots have a Spanish name.
- A number of characters from Ace Combat 5 make appearances in Ace Combat Zero:
- Heartbreak One (Capt. Jack Bartlett) and Huckebein the Raven (Wolfgang Buchner, aka "Pops") appear in mission 10 (Mercenary) on Ace difficulty. They're piloting an F-14D and MiG-21bis, respectively.
- Ashley Bernitz (Grabacr) appears flying a Su-47 chasing after Barlett and Buchner.
- Michael Heimeroth (Ofnir) appears in mission 10 (Soldier) flying an F-15S/MTD.
- The date that the Belkans drop 7 nuclear bombs, June 6, 1995 coincides with the date of D-Day
- The Gault Team is told not to look at the enemy but only to listen to orders. This is the same strategy that was used during the Vietnam war by MiG-21 Fishbed pilots.
- The name for the ADFX-01 / -02 "Morgan" is a reference to Morgan le Fay, the supposed half sister of King Arthur
- Solo Wing Pixy's real name is Larry Foulke; in reality, Larry Foulke is the name of the President of the American Nuclear Society.
- "Solo Wing" Pixy's nickname comes from an incident in which he got his wing knocked off. This is based on a real event that occured in the Israeli Air Force.
On May 1, 1983, during an Israeli Air Force training dogfight, an F-15D collided with an A-4 Skyhawk. Unknown to pilot Zivi Nadavi, the right wing of the Eagle was torn off roughly two feet (0.6 m) from the fuselage. The pilot disobeyed his instructor's command to eject and managed to land the crippled aircraft successfully. The aircraft was able to land because of the large horizontal surface area of the tail and the amount of lift generated by the engine intake and body.
- The story-long narrator is believed to be "Solo Wing Pixy" Larry Foulke. This belief is strong, because at the end of the game, the narrator wanted to give "him" a message, "Hey, Buddy. Still Alive?" This alludes to the fact that Pixy survived the crash, yet the fate of the "Demon Lord" is still unknown.
