Falco One

Falco One is a member of the Aurelian Air Force, and the main character of Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion. A 10-year old veteran in the force, he and his squadron saw action in the early & closing days of the Leasath-Aurelia War.

Leasath-Aurelia War
Before the start of the war, Falco One's team was stationed at Phuku Lagolla AFB, an airbase located southwest of Aurelia's capital, Griswall. Once the Leasath invasion began, Falco One and his squadron were deployed to defend their territory from enemy attacks. He participated in several operations targeting Leasath's strikeforce across northern Aurelia. In one particular operation, Falco One was assigned to help an Aurelian fleet retreat from enemy territory. The mission ended catastrophically, as the fleet was ambushed by the heavy command cruiser Gandr, which destroyed the entire fleet with its Shock Cannon. The airship was later shot down by Falco Squadron and the surviving pilots, however the squadron was later suspended from combat for unknown reasons.

In the ending days of the war, Falco One returned to the frontlines with his team. Falco One assisted the famed Gryphus Squadron in an ambush mission in the Leasathian Danern Straits.
