Storyline

In May 1997, several key political leaders from the continent of Usea were absent on a diplomatic mission, the true purpose of which remained a mystery, though speculation linked it to the potential effects of the Ulysses 1994XF04 asteroid one year later. During their absence, a powerful military faction, operating under the code name "NA-P2700," launched a coup, swiftly seizing control of the entire continent. Their rapid expansion saw them capture key locations in every region, along with a devastating weapon known as the "Extra Powerful Cruise Missile." In a final attempt to regain control, the government-aligned Unified Command enlisted the aid of the 92nd Special Tactical Fighter Squadron "Scarface," a team of elite mercenary pilots led by the legendary ace, Scarface One. With full logistical and equipment support, the Scarface Squadron launched a campaign to defeat the Usean Rebel Forces and restore order to Usea. With the Scarface team's assistance, government troops engaged in intense combat with the URF, gradually reclaiming territory across the continent. The mercenaries targeted critical elements of the rebel infrastructure, including airfields, oil refineries, and naval bases. Along the way, they faced off against numerous skilled rebel pilots, including the enigmatic group known as "Z.O.E." They also encountered a variety of advanced rebel technology, such as the Dragonet-class submarine and the colossal XB-10 "Big Bad Mama" experimental bomber. After reclaiming the majority of Usea, Unified Command initiated a major invasion to secure a decisive advantage. To mislead the enemy, the operation was split into two phases: "Alphaville" and "Bellissima." These operations resulted in the destruction of key URF facilities and positions, giving Unified Command the upper hand in the conflict. Ultimately, the government forces drove the remnants of the coup back to their stronghold in the city of St. Ark. Determined to end the rebellion, the Scarface Team was deployed to eliminate the remaining rebel forces within the city and destroy their central command. The mission was a success, and St. Ark was liberated from URF control. The story concludes at this point with the Normal ending.
