Mobius Squadron

"You're not gonna believe this, Jean-Louis! All of them have ribbon insignias!"

- Gene, commenting on the approaching Mobius Squadron The Independent State Allied Air Force 118th Tactical Fighter Wing Mobius is featured in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies and Operation Katina. Not much is known about the 118th Tactical Fighter Wing's pilot roster during the Second Usean Continental War, however, an ISAF Ace, Mobius One, is believed to be the lead pilot of the 'Mobius Squadron' at the start of the ISAF Counter-Attack.

Second Usean Continental War (2003-2005)
The full Mobius squadron was officially formed on September 26, 2005 before the last battle of the war: The Battle of Megalith. The Squadron was operational throughout the entire war, it's premier pilot, Mobius One, being part of the unit since their first mission on September 19, 2004.

Operation Katina (2006)
The squadron would then return to active service in 2006, when Free Erusea terrorists began a rebellion on the post-war government. Mobius One was scrambled, along with AWACS Sky Eye. It is not known if the rest of the squadron was assigned elsewhere or not, however it is interesting to note that following the war, the ISAF initiated an investigation into the extent of Mobius One's abilities and resulting in the astonishing announcement that the combat effectiveness of Mobius One was equal to that of an entire squadron.

Roster

 * Mobius 5: Rafale M
 * Mobius 6: Rafale M
 * Mobius 7: Rafale M

Mobius One is the lead ace of the squadron, and one of the best aces in the world of Ace Combat. He near single-handedly won the war, and he is estimated to have equal the strength of a full squadron. He was the only confirmed member until the attack on Megalith.

AWACS SkyEye commonly worked with the squadron since their first official mission. Since then he had supported them directly for every operation they had ever taken on. In 2006, he and Mobius One had been dispatched to destroy Free Erusea. Since then AWACS Sky Eye has continued ISAF operations.
