Oured

Oured, the capital city of Osea, is seen in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War and in many game briefing. The city of Oured is built upon the coastal plain of Oured Bay, but the peninsula also has coastal rolling hills to the east and south of the city. The city of Oured is close in proximity to the Kingdom of Sapin. It constitutes six administrative areas. The city is heavily based upon the United States city of Chicago and New York. The layout is simaler, Oured Bay looks very similar to Lake Michigan, and many buildings in Oured resemble the ones in Chicago and New York such as the Willis Tower or the Chrysler Building.

Ulysses 1994XF04 Asteroid
Before the Ulysses Asteroid came within the planet's atmosphere in 1999, a mass amount of refugees wanting to escape the Ulysses projected blast area, traveled to other nations for safety. Oured took in a massive amount of migrating people, most likely the most of all cities that took in refugees, with Erusea and Emmeria close behind. Today the city's population contains many Estovakians, Erusians, Emmerians and Sapinish citizens.

After the Belkan War
A few Belkan aces settled down in Oured after the Belkan War, such as the notorious Yuke war criminal Dominic "Vulture" Zubov and the Osean Air Defense Force pilot Anthony "Bedivere" Palmer.

Operation Arcadia
The day before this, a joint Osean-Yuktobanian operation had landed in Sudentor, a city in South Belka. The objective of the operation was to destroy the control facility of the Strategic Orbital Linear Gun. The Razgriz Air Command Squadron flew into a tunnel to attack the control system, and upon destroying it, flew out in the frozen land on North Belka.

On December 31st, 2010, the Razgriz launched from a highway in Oured, in order to intercept the SOLG, which was preprogrammed to crash itself into the Earth if control was lost from the ground. The Razgriz flew into Oured Bay, towards the indicated interception point without any problems, but were soon intercepted a double Belkan formation consisting of the Grabacr and Ofnir squadrons. The ensuing battle lasted for about a minute (depending on the player's speed), and the Razgriz eventually shot every plane down (or, if the Belkans were ignored, they self-destruct, Kei Nagase comments on this). Either way, all of the Grabacr and Ofnir pilots were confirmed as Killed in Action. The Razgriz then intercepted the SOLG when it dropped to an altitude of 20,000ft, and destroyed it before it could impact the city.
