Naval ship

Bulletin from HQ, it had a section from Crimson Team themselves.*More information on this article is available on  Wikipedia's **Naval ship** page.*
Despite the advent of airships, **seaborne naval vessels** are still a critical component in the After Calamity Era's marine transportation and warfare.

## Gameplay

Much like airships, armed surface vessels require all of their weapon mounts to be destroyed before their hull can be damaged. However, certain weapons such as Anti-Ship Missiles or Railguns are capable of damaging the hulls of the vessels directly, provided that they impacted the hull of the vessel instead of a mounted weapon. Multi-Lock Anti-Ground weapons can also thin out the armaments of a vessel from a distance.

Unguided bombs can also be used to destroy surface vessels, but unless these vessels are moored, landing an accurate hit on a moving ship can be rather challenging, especially from an altitude.

For aircraft that has no anti-surface weapons equipped, standard missiles or strafing runs with the aircraft's cannon will get the job done as well.

## History

Both the Pacific Federation and the Cascadian Independence Force fielded surface vessels during the Cascadian Conflict. For a long period of time, the Federation Navy had the clear upper hand in the naval warfare, their vast fleets allowing them to secure strategic ports in Cascadia as well as reinforce vital maritime supply lines, which allowed the Federation to maintain its supply train in Cascadia even after the lockdown on aerial transportation. One of the most prominent naval units of the Federation was the 1st Naval Battlegroup, tasked with guarding the capital city of Presidia throughout the conflict.

The Independence Force, on the other hand, was forced to make do with the few vessels they had access to when the conflict started, sometimes resorting to hijacking or commandeering Federation vessels with the remnants of their Cascadian Coast Guard.

**Patrol torpedo (PT) boats** are the smallest and most basic form of warship.

## Description

PT boats are somewhat difficult to hit to compensate for their weak armor. They are only armed with a machine gun for small-scale defense, and are therefore clustered around one another, akin to littoral combat ships. They are also sometimes used as makeshift **yachts**. Regardless, they pose very little threat even with quantity.

## History

The Burlok Privateers employed a dozen speedboats repurposed as PT boats in their brief stint at Fort Daggerpoint. All of them were wiped out by Sicario during Operation Red Current.

During the Cascadian Conflict, the Pacific Federation garrisoned ten of these boats at Rowsdower Air Force Base, and a lot more with the 1st Naval Battlegroup. They also fielded them on picket duty in the Burning Coast during the hunt for the stolen *Eminent Domain*. All of these boats were swiftly sunk in their respective battles.

**"No Respite"** is the seventeenth campaign mission of *Project Wingman*. The player leads an attack on the Pacific Federation-held Brite Fortress.

## Objectives

The mission is preceded by a takeoff. PRIORITY targets at the fortress include railguns, C-RAMs, radars, and fully upgraded airships Some AA guns and SAMs are also present, along with a few fighters.

Once all targets are destroyed, two land battleships start moving. Destroying these completes the mission and leads to a landing sequence.

P.28

Mercenaries

* Conrad Security

The **P.28** is an attack helicopter used by the Pacific Federation. Its only skin is light jungle camouflage, and they are armed with standard missiles and machine guns.

## History

The Federation deployed P.28s in eight-flight formations during the Cascadian Conflict, mainly during the Salvemini Vineyards siege, evacuating retreating troops during the CIF Offensive Campaign, patrolling the ruins of Prospero, and defending Presidia in the Second Battle of Presidia. Be it evacuating manpower or defending locations, these choppers were swiftly shot down by enemy forces.

P.28s were also present in large numbers of nine, operated by both the Federation in the Chaohord Defense Region and by Conrad Security in Harkema Industrial Park. These helicopters posed little detriment to attackers and were downed as well.

Presidia/Port Authority Building

## Appearances

*Project Wingman* (mentioned)

The **Port Authority Building** was the main governmental office of the Cascadian government, based on a fort installation.

## History

During the Second Battle of Presidia, the Pacific Federation's defense forces were pushed all the way back to the Port Authority Building. The building was likely destroyed along with the rest of the capital in the Presidian Disaster. If not from the blast, then the subsequent geothermal lava would have consumed it.

Magadan

Bulletin from HQ, it had a section from Crimson Team themselves.*More information on this article is available on  Wikipedia's **Magadan** page.*

## Magadan

### Military

Unnamed air force

**Magadan** is a nation in the northeast Asian region, a member state of the Pacific Federation. A major Federation city named Stratfon is located there, implying the country's importance.

## History

Magadan sent their fighters to the Bering Strait during the Conflict's Bering Strait furball, including 200 of their aviation regiment.

Following the Cascadian Independence Force's victory in the battle, which resulted in the loss of almost all 200 of the deployed fighters, the rebels crossed the Bering Strait and invaded the northwestern territories of Magadan until they were pushed back into Cascadian territory prior to Operation Anticipation.

## Military

The military is somewhat sizeable as they were able to send hundreds of fighters in the Cascadian Conflict.

## Trivia

Magadan, right down to its location, is likely based off Magadan Oblast, a subject of the Russian Federation located on the far eastern coast of the nation.

Mobster Element

*"All Mobster Elements, move in tandem with Hitman’s airstrikes."*
― Dominic Zaitsev during Operation Blackout
**Mobster Element** is part of Sicario's main ground force.

## Overview

The unit is composed primarily of seasoned paratroopers and air-droppable LAVs. Notably for a mercenary ground unit, it is completely airborne-capable to fit in with Sicario's combat tactics. They are usually deployed to the battlefield via airdrop from Circus, followed by rapid advance while receiving constant close air support from the mercenary company's combat aircraft.

## History

Their first known operation in the Cascadian Conflict is taking Rowsdower Air Force Base during Operation Carpet Dawn. They also participated in Operation Blackout, where Dominic Zaitsev ordered them to synchronize their movements with Hitman Team's airstrikes in the final push on the facility.

The **Oceanian military** is the state armed forces of Oceania, subject to the Federation Military Forces.

Although somewhat resilient as proven in its war of independence against the Federation, it was small enough to warrant the need for mercenaries, and was eventually defeated.

## History

Little is known of the Oceanian military, other than its hostile standing against the Federation during the Oceanian War and subsequent defeat.

15 years later in the Cascadian Conflict, they participated by sending fighters to the furball in the Bering Strait.

Raid on Federation resource facilities

We are still combing through records, but it's thin.

## Details

### Outcomes

**CIF strategic victory*** Federation offensive stalled

Strength|  **Sicario*** Hitman Team
* Gunsel Squadron
* Assassin Team

During the Cascadian Conflict, **a series of raids** were conducted by Cascadian Independence Force-hired mercenaries on various Pacific Federation-held geothermal resource and storage facilities throughout Cascadia.

## Prelude

Since the beginning of the war, the CIF had been losing numerous key territories with the arrival of more Federation reinforcements, especially with the loss of their capital. By early March, however, Independence Force HQ figured out that Cascadia's main attraction is its resources, and they then formed up a plan to cripple their advance and force them to rethink their entire goal in the country.

Their plan called for mercenary air forces to perform the strikes while the main force guarded their frontlines, which would make the Federation redirect forces into defending the facilities. A primarily anti-ground loadout was recommended for them.

## Attacks

One of the main operations during this series of raids is Operation Flash Hazard, which was the debut of the Federation Peacekeepers in-country in the form of Crimson Team. The attacks would continue for at least three days.

## Aftermath

The attacks had hastened the Federation offensive and scattered them, buying the CIF enough time to reorganize and plan further advances.

― Comic
**"Open Season"** is the fourteenth mission of *Project Wingman*. The player supports an offensive against retreating Pacific Federation forces in the middle of a forest fire.

## Objectives

The initial targets are comprised principally of cruisers, AA guns, F/C-16s,F/C-15s, P.28 helicopters, and a *Littoria*-class air battlecruiser. After these are destroyed, new targets are added, including tanks, artillery, AAs, SAMs, advanced railguns, more F/C-16s and P.28s, and a second *Littoria*. An escaping column of trucks to the southeast is a non-combat target. Destroying all PRIORITY targets completes the mission.

## Trivia

This mission is similar to "The Inferno" from *Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War* as they feature a federal military setting fire to their own territory and is set right before a major disaster in the next mission.

― Kaiser
**"Pillars of Communications"** is the tenth mission of *Project Wingman*. The player flies with Sicario to seize and destroy the Solana Communications Array.

## Objectives

Some ground-based defenses and fighters are encountered during the initial approach to the array. The allied planes will pick off ground targets efficiently, so the player only really needs to deal with fighters. Crossing the line on the map prematurely results in mission failure.

In the second phase, more fighters appear as optional enemies. Instead, the player needs to take out the array's radar dishes, defending bunkers, and ground reinforcements. Secondary facilities at the array facility can be destroyed for credits.

In the third phase, the line on the map is removed and the player can attack the airbase. PRIORITY targets here include more radar dishes and bunkers, railguns, airships, and the substations of the nearby solar power plant. More targets of opportunity including AA guns, hangars, and oil tanks are scattered about the base. Several fighters and cargo planes attempting to take off are also easy sources of credits if killed promptly. The mission ends when all targets are destroyed.

## Trivia

* Despite Assassin Team being referred to as such, only Kaiser is present.
* This mission is the very first campaign mission created for the game. It was created in the early demos and called **Operation Blackout**.
* The unnamed allied fighters in this mission strangely bear the Cascadian Independence Force skin.
* The unused mission description reads: "Conduct a large scale assault with ground unit support in order to take out a jamming facility deep behind enemy lines."
* This mission's operation name is the same as "Deep Strike"'s from *Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies*.

Meilynx

* Ship
* Cordium cargo

The ***Meilynx*** was a Pacific Federation cargo ship that was hijacked by the Burlok Privateers in AC 432.

## History

At some point in early January AC 432, the *Meilynx* was transporting cordium (enough to power an airship for a full year) belonging to the Federation Department of Global Energy and Sustainability when it was hijacked by Burlok. The incident became high-profile enough that negotiations were attempted but failed.

In response, the Creole Republic Minister of Defense had a contact contract Sicario to secure the ship's cargo. Once their SOF Ronin confirmed the cargo, however, the contact ordered Sicario to destroy the cargo, which triggered a large explosion that not only sank the *Meilynx*, but also rendered nearly the entire island uninhabitable. Later, the department would cover up the incident as an accident.

## Trivia

The *Meilynx* is named after Meilynx Garuda, one of the Kickstarter backers.

Magansk Aeronautical Design Bureau

## Appearances

*Project Wingman* (mentioned)

**Magansk Aeronautical Design Bureau (MADB)** is one of the Pacific Federation's mainstream defense contractors and aircraft manufacturers alongside Henderson Corporation. Befitting its position, it manufacturers for military and civilian purposes, with very little competition outside of its rival company.

## History

MADB preexisted the Federation and, some years prior to AC 432, grew in prominence to challenge Henderson by offering alternative designs to current and potential Federation member states. As a result, speculation arose that this rivalry was intended to spark a war where the products of both companies would face each other in combat.

## Trivia

MADB is likely based on the Russian United Aircraft Corporation because of its Russian name and representation of major aviation companies.

Mercenary network

*"There's a communications blackout both in and out of the country, and as far as international news goes, nothing is going on except a few riots. Based on the mercenary networks, however, that is a complete lie; a full-blown conflict is proceeding."*
― Arnold Frenken
The **mercenary network** is a series of programs for mercenaries to communicate through.

Following the outbreak of the Cascadian Conflict, the Pacific Federation spread public propaganda stating that only some riots were occurring, but Arnold Frenken was able to discover through the mercenary network that a full conflict was happening.

Pillars of Communications

*For the mission, see Pillars of Communications (mission).*

The **Pillars of Communications**, occasionally known as the **Pillars of Communication**, are tall radio towers found all across Cascadia, built to restore communications in the country following the Calamity. They were part of a joint Cascadian-Pacific Federation logistics project capable of ignoring the rampant geo-interference found all across North America. Despite conspiracy theories about the Pillars, both governments maintain that they are merely regular, if not incredibly tall (about 3000 feet) telecom towers. Another part of the project is the Solana Communications Array, a heavily defended communications and jamming facilty located in the Aitor Desert.

Despite being used primarily in Cascadia, towers of similar design can be seen in Sawaiiki, suggesting the Federation may have adopted the idea of the project into other member states.

Presidian Disaster

*This article is about the event. For the battle that took place afterwards, see Duel over Presidia.*

### Location

Presidia, Cascadia

*"They had to take this from us! We'll burn them all, we’ll burn down the Federation!"*
― Arnold Frenken, swearing vengeance after the disaster
The **Presidian Disaster** was the final event of the Cascadian Conflict. It occurred when the now-rogue Crimson 1 detonated a single large scale cordium warhead near the port of the Cascadian capital of Presidia. This in turn caused multiple secondary explosions, killing hundreds of thousands of Pacific Federation and Cascadian Independence Force soldiers and millions of civilians and devastating the city, causing geothermal instabilities and environmental damage.

The disaster had large scale ramifications; the rest of the world blamed the Federation for the act, believing that they had violated a legitimate ceasefire. In response to the attack, multiple Federation territories began to secede including Core States. While two of its cities were devastated, Cascadia intended to honor the Deal with Sicario and Hitman Team and the establishment of a mercenary nation seemed to be inevitable.

Pacific Ocean

Bulletin from HQ, it had a section from Crimson Team themselves.*More information on this article is available on  Wikipedia's **Pacific Ocean** page.*

## Pacific Ocean

* Picture
* Geographical map

### Events

Calamity
Cascadian Conflict* Operation Welder

The **Pacific Ocean** is a large body of water and one of the few places to keep its name prior to the Calamity.

## Geography

The ocean is situated between the Pacific Federation and Cascadia, with Sawaiiki in the middle as a strategic location.

The lack of updated maps on the ocean along with latent geothermal activity makes travel over this ocean hazardous. The ocean is dotted with numerous new and undiscovered microislands and landmasses. As research into deepwater hazards is still a new field, traveling vessels often make it through the aforementioned hazards by following the path of geothermally evolved whales.

## History

In AC 432 during the Cascadian Conflict, Cascadian Independence Force-aligned mercenary forces flew across the ocean to attack Wai Mami Port. Later on into the war, the Cascadian Coast Guard fought a major battle here with the Pacific Federation's 1st Naval Battlegroup to pave the way for the liberation of Presidia, their capital.

## Trivia

The given coordinates place Operation Welder's mission location near San Francisco, which Presidia is based on.

Following the Prospero Disaster and the Cascadian Calamity Event, Mabiala was sent a summary of the event, which corroborated based on public reports and intercepted confidential communications (partially by the Cascadian Independence Force) that the Pacific Federation had crossed the line with its heinous decimation of Cascadia. The report advised for the concordat's member states to join other countries in condemning the Federation and send out proxy support to the Independence Force until such deteriorating conditions that they are finally destroyed. Due to Cascadia being effectively cut off from the world by the geothermal events, the report also advised for the seizure and investigation of all Federation assets - including cordium weaponry - under concordat jurisdiction.

Modules

**Modules** are aircraft attachments in *Project Wingman* that can grant the player the ability to perform enhanced techniques in combat.

## Flares

**Flares** are a counter-lock module compatible to all kinds of aircraft. They take seven seconds to reload, but are infinite. It is very simple to use, only requiring a button push.

## AOA Limiter

The **Angle Of Attack Limiter** is a module pilots of specific aircraft can equip instead of flares. Its function is to enabling pilots to pull extreme maneuvers in exchange for losing speed extremely quickly by allowing the aircraft to exceed its critical angle of attack (the angle of incoming air relative to the chord of the wing). By doing so, a greater surface of the wing is exposed to oncoming air, increasing drag and air deflection of the control surfaces.

### Gameplay

Like flares, the AOA Limiter is bound to the module slot (pressing "H" by default on keyboards and pressing "Left Stick" by default on controllers) and can be used indefinitely bar the cool-down. The AOA Limiter functions in a similar manner to high-G Turns and post-stall maneuvers in *Ace Combat*, allowing the pilot of certain aircraft to perform aerodynamically impossible maneuvers such as a Kulbit or the Herbst maneuver. These maneuvers can be used to dodge missiles, loose an opponent and/or get on an enemy's tail.

To enable the AOA Limiter, simply choose it as a replacement to flares, then press the equipment key and brake key/inverse thrust axis. When the AOA is activated, the game will produce a beep, identical to the one signaling that the equipment cooldown is over. Once this is combined with brake input, the sound of rushing air will play. Once you hear the air whooshing around your plane, simply input using your pitch axis and your craft will begin typically impossible maneuvers. Do be careful with its use, however, as if you do not move enough, the AOA Limiter will not save you from an incoming missile and can cause you to stall out.

### Availability

Initially, only Prototype and upgraded aircraft can equip the AOA Limiter, but after Patch 1.0.4c, several other aircraft based off models that can perform PSMs in real life also received the option to equip the AOA Limiter.

The following aircraft can equip this module:

* MG-29
* F/E-18
* Sk.27
* Sk.37 Decimator-B
* F/S-15
* VX-23
* SP-34R
* ACG-01 Chimera
* PW-Mk.I
* CR.105 Mk.2
* MG-21 Mk.2
* Accipiter Mk.2
Orion

**Orion** is a fighter squadron of the Cascadian Independence Force.

## History

Orion was deployed to the Bering Strait during the Cascadian Conflict's Operation Guillotine. When their leader was shot down, Orion 3 was made impromptu squadron leader.

CR.105

* 01
* 02
* 03
* 04

Cascadian Independence Force

* Cascadian Air Force

## Cockpit

The **CR.105** is a delta-wing, supersonic, twin-engined interceptor. It boasts incredible speed only being beaten by the MG-31 and PW-Mk.I. For these reasons, the CR.105 is best used at medium to high altitude for boom and zoom tactics and should be avoided for close air support.

## Skins

1. Light grey fuselage with red leading edges, black nose and anti-glare panel, mercenary and Monarch markings.
2. White and blue jagged camouflage, Federation Air Force markings.
3. White fuselage with black canopy and engine intakes, Cascadian Air Force/Independence Force markings.
4. Skin 3 but with red nose section, wing tips and tail tips, mercenary and Monarch markings.

## Trivia

* The plane was created as Ace Combat Fan's reward for being Backer on Kickstarter.
* The CR.105 has a cannon mounted on the side of the left intake, in contrast to the Avro Arrow which lacks a cannon.
* The original description gave it the name "Arrow" as well as a different designation, the **ACF-105** (perhaps a nod to Ace Combat Fan):
"Remnants of the Oceanian Rebellion and the various actors of the conflict persist today. The ACF-105 is one such leftover.
A local design from Oceania's native aircraft industry, designed as an interceptor and a deep-strike capable aircraft, it never saw wide-deployment before Oceania was federalized. Despite this, engineers who played a part of its design process fled Oceania and found homes in the Periphery, where the design of the 105 was propagated and then, eventually, put into production in independent factories and sold globally.
Many of these engineers hope that the Arrow, as it is called for its delta-wing configuration and piercing capabilities, will be used one day to free the world from the Federation. For now however, smaller air forces primarily operate the Arrow, often in reconnaissance or border duties."

 Mercenaries

## Skins

1. Light grey body with dark grey nose, wingtips and rudder tips, black anti-glare panel, mercenary, Monarch, and Prez markings (the latter near the copilot seat). Seen throughout the campaign.
2. Gray-blue body with black nose and dark blue stripes running down the dorsal surface, Federation Air Force markings. Seen throughout the campaign.
3. Yellow fuselage with black, brown and light grey splinter camouflage pattern, black nose and stripe running down the centerline of the fuselage, Federation Air Force markings.

## Gameplay

The MG-31 the second-fastest aircraft in *Project Wingman* (after the PW-Mk.I) and has exceptional acceleration, but lacks any air-to-ground special weapons. In terms of maneuverability, it is highly responsive but has very limited maximum turning rates.

## Notable Units

* **Augment** - Only fought in Frontiers on Mercenary difficulty. Capable of using the AOA Limiter.
* **Tajern** - Conquest mode only. Normal elite enemy squadron, four members.

## History

Mercenary forces utilized the MG-31 in the Cascadian Conflict's Operation Flash Hazard, supporting Sicario's Hitman Team. In the last stages of Operation Sea Farer, Federation Regional Cascadian HQ launched coastal Kiiyo cruise missiles against the stolen *Eminent Domain* in a last-ditch attempt to sink it, four MG-31s escorting them. The missiles were downed by Hitman, however.

A squadron of four MG-31s were escorting the Federation air train and patrolling Wensleydale Range and the adjacent Solana Communications Array. In addition, mercenary and Federation forces deployed MG-31s to the Bering Strait during Operation Guillotine and in Operation Manifest Destiny; both operations resulted in heavy losses for both sides and the aircraft.

## Trivia

Two parked Federation MG-31s using Skin 02 appear on the right side of the main menu.

Marc Dominguez

## Appearances

*Project Wingman* (heard only)

*"This is Doctor Marc Dominguez of the University of Chiara to all monitoring stations on both sides of the frontline, look, I don't care about the war, we all need to talk to each other through this. Reports of...latent cordium reaction to atmospheric conditions. Uh, uh, everyone is advised to take shelter indoors effective, uh...immediately."
"Prospero's monitoring station went dark last week, we'll have to assume something is happening there."
"Uh, Prospero's volcano isn't active, though?! It shouldn't be..."
"Who knows, contamination from all the airship traffic, juut latent cordium that's been inert until now?"
"What would set it off, uh, a cordium-primed warhead? Who would do that?!"
"We've never seen this reaction outside the zones before... Whatever's happening in Prospero, it's causing a chain reaction in the dirt beneath us, a...butterfly effect. Cordium reacts upon cordium, and if enough of it becomes active, it'll cause a tectonic event that-"
"Y-You don't mean...?"
"Warn everyone. Federation, Cascadian, whatever's happening won't discriminate."*
― Marc Dominguez and Izumi Station
Doctor **Marc Dominguez** is a geological scientist based in the University of Chiara.

## Biography

On June 2, AC 432, Dominguez announced to every geological monitoring station in Cascadia to speak of the seemingly natural event occurring in Prospero, advising listeners to take indoors shelter immediately. He was confused by Prospero's station being dark for a week and panicked at the prospect of its volcano somehow becoming active. He also correctly deduced that the perpetrators may have been using cordium-primed cruise missiles to initiate the reaction. He was last heard being told to warn as many people as he could since the unfolding disaster will indiscriminately affect all in the radius.

## Etymology

"Marc" is a French derivation of the Hebrew "bitter." "Dominguez" is a patronymic derivation of "Domingo," a Spanish-Italian vernacular form of the Latin dominicus ("of the Lord/Sunday").

## Trivia

Marc Dominguez is named after a Kickstarter backer of the same name.

Ring of Fire

Bulletin from HQ, it had a section from Crimson Team themselves.*More information on this article is available on  Wikipedia's **Ring of Fire** page.*

## Ring of Fire

### Events

Calamity
Cascadian Calamity Event

The **Ring of Fire** is a ring of volcanos on the Pacific Rim. It accounts for almost every geographic movement in world history, including the exclusion zones. It is a horseshoe-shaped nexus of tectonic activity which was the cause of the Calamity through cordium exposure.

## History

Ever since the Calamity, the Ring of Fire had remained active in a more sustainable level. Despite the volcanoes and earthquakes dotting its regions, its inhabitants thrived on its geothermal resources, which to many of them, surpasses the cost of dealing with the Ring of Fire's disasters and even warnings from experts of the Calamity restarting through an inevitable catalyst.

The Ring of Fire, evidently, went off once again through man-made means almost 600 years later; although smaller in scale, it still dealt heavy damage to the North American region.
