Nazca Team

"These guys are startin' to piss me off. Nazca Team, shoot 'em down for me."

- Snake Pit

Nazca Team was a fighter squadron part of the Republic of Emmeria Air Force. The squadron flew F/A-18F Super Hornets.

Their team is only mentioned once by name throughout the entirety Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation's campaign and due to this their complete contributions to the Emmeria-Estovakia War are currently unknown.

History
During the Battle of the Moloch Desert, this squadron along with others, was assigned to escort the electronic support aircraft callsign "Snake Pit" in the battle.

Whilst the team was escorting Snake Pit, allied aircraft were getting shot down. This prompted for the team and Snake Pit to request support from the Garuda Team. Once Garuda Team arrived to aid in the escort, the morale of the pilots seemed to have increased, one pilot even sounding relieved now that the Emmerian aces came to help them out. With the help of Garuda, the team successfully shot down any Estovakian aircraft that were posing a threat to the electronic support aircraft.

Trivia

 * "Nazca" is a Spanish word which translates to "Born" in English. This makes it the only known Emmerian squadron to have its name come from Spanish origin.
 * It is possible that Nazca Team is the squadron that is always assigned to escort Snake Pit, however due to it's name is only said once throughout the entirety of Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, it is solely speculation at this point.
 * As there are 8 planes initially defending Snake Pit during The Moloch Desert, it is possible that Nazca Team is an 8 man squadron
