Solis Ortus

Solis Ortus is featured in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. Situated in the mountains just southwest of the Ustio capital of Directus, Solis Ortus is a small mountain town. It is divided into three sections spread throughout the area, and based upon its location, Solis Ortus is probably a popular tourist attraction.

Belkan War (Op. Varsity)
During the Belkan War, Solis Ortus was occupied by the Belkan Military. But at 0550 hours on May 12, 1995, the Allied Nations launched Operation Varsity, involving an airborne invasion of Solis Ortus led by the Osean Army 101st Airborne Division. With their transports escorted by the Ustian 6th Air Division's 66th AFU 'Galm', the 101st Airborne managed to liberate and secure Solis Ortus.

With Solis Ortus liberated, the path to Directus had been opened.
