One of the elite fighter squadrons of the Stahlerne Luft's 8th Air Division. Like their predecessors, they uphold honor and integrity above all else; the flight lead, Hans Rachenburg, openly condemned the bombing of November City in the presence of the Uber Luftmarschall; luckily for him, he walked out of that meeting with half of his right ear missing and a slash mark on his cheek on the same side, surprisingly lucky considering that most people who anger the Uber Luftmarschall don't live to tell about it. Despite his convictions, he was also extremely loyal to his heritage and country. The entire squadron was shot down and killed by the Neo-UN's Claymore Team, save Hans Rachenburg, who somehow survived despite being unable to bail out as his plane exploded, albeit with severe burns all over his body.

Unknown Nationality (Special Conditions Apply)

These eight pilots are very mysterious people who nobody knows the identity of. Many believe they are a hoax, others believe they are mercenaries, but there are a few who believe they are ghosts of the past. Their planes, though outdated, can somehow outperform every fighter in existence, including the infamous Star Falken. They only show up one at a time seemingly, out of thin air, and will only appear when confronted by a single pilot of exceptional skill, and all appear over the fabled Area B7R, a.k.a the Round Table...

• Nationality: Unknown

• Aircraft: F-15E Strike Eagle

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

A pilot whose identity remains uncertain, and probably always will be in question. Do not get complacent though, or else he will shoot you down in seconds. He tends to fire from long range with advanced missiles, then makes high-speed diving and climbing attacks. However, he will also turn and burn with a foe, and always wins. He resembles a war hero from years ago...Status: MIA

SP004. Mobius

• Nationality: Unknown

• Aircraft: F-22A Raptor

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

A fierce pilot who is as silent as he is deadly. He specializes in close-in dogfights, but rather than turning he tends to use sudden jinks, dives, climbs and snap turns, as well as the Cobra Maneuver to evade enemies. His most amazing tactic is putting his plane into a vertical climb, then stalling and dropping in behind a foe before killing at point-blank range. Watch out though, the Raptor's advanced radar allows him to fire up to four missiles at once, so stay alert. He resembles an ISAF Ace from the early 21st Century...Status: MIA

SP005. Blaze

• Nationality: Unknown

• Aircraft: F-14A Tomcat

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

SP007. Cipher

• Age: Unknown

• Nationality: Unknown

• Aircraft: F-15C Eagle

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

The most mysterious adversary anyone can ever encounter in the air. Nobody is certain of who this man is, or even what, but what IS known is that he is merciless. He seems to be able to predict the opponent's moves before the fight even begins, and easily adapts to change; the performance of his F-15C is far out of its specifications, giving one the thought that perhaps there are supernatural forces at work. Another thought that comes to mind is a title: "the Demon Lord of the Round Table"...Status: MIA

SP008. Wywyrm

• Age: Unknown

• Nationality: Unknown

• Aircraft: ADF-02A-1 Super Falken Mk I

• Rank: Unknown

• Ht: Unknown, Wt: Unknown, Eyes: Unknown

Virtually nothing is known for certain about this pilot, but many theories surround him. One theory suggests he is a mercenary, others say the fighter he flies is really a UCAV, and there is even a theory that states the impossible, that he is the ghost of a top Belkan Ace. This theory, as farfetched as it seems, may actually be true, as he follows Belkan fighting tactics, and surprisingly, his voice has been picked up once. The identity of this pilot is still uncertain, but one thing IS certain: this pilot has the power of a hurricane, and the ferocity of a dragon...Status: MIA

Postscript: The analysis of Wywyrm's voice validated the least probable theory, the voice being an exact match to the voice of Belkan Ace and War Criminal Erik Felsen at the age he was when the Belkan War ended. It is impossible for this pilot to be Erik Felsen, as the pilot was an old man when he finally died on New Year's Day, 2045, but then again, stranger events have occured...
