Sudentor

Sudentor is mentioned in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, but is seen in Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. Sudentor (German for southern gate) is a city located in South Belka at the southern foothills of the Waldreich Mountains. Located on the Schwester River, Sudentor is an industrial city, home to the South Belka Munitions Plant, later renamed North Osea Grunder Industries. Grunder maintains a large complex north of downtown Sudentor, just across the Schwester River. The city of Sudentor is the site of the Battle of Sudentor.

The Belkan War
During the Belkan War, Sudentor was the sight of one of the war's last battles. On June 6, 1995, the Allied Forces moved in on Sudentor, one of the few cities in South Belka that had not disarmed. Belkan Forces retreated here, although few in number, are well outfitted, due to the South Belkan Munitions Plants on Sudentor. On June 6th 1995, the Allied Forces moved on to Sudentor and requesting help from the 66th AFU Galm from the Ustio Air Force to clear any enemy fighters from the skies in order to help the ground forces. The 66th AFU Galm, alongside with the 4th AFU Crow was going onto the meeting point, when Belka had a plan to destroy Ustio with a nuclear weapon. Halfway there, a Bomber Squadron took off carrying the nuke. The Ustio units destroyed the Bomber Squadron. Sometimes in the dogfight, a squadron of neutral Belkan fighters joined the fray, destroying other fighters in the area. When the Bomber Squadron was taken care, a flash of white strikes, then a loud bang occurs. The Belkans managed to set off 7 nuclear attacks on the Waldreich Mountains. Sudentor didn't get the effect, due to the strategic place covered with mountains. After the treaty of Lumen, Sudentor was given to Osea and became a part of Northern Osea.

The Unsung War
Following the Belkan War, Sudentor, along with the rest of South Belka, became part of Osea. The city wouldn't see conflict again until the Circum-Pacific War in 2010. It was revealed that the president of Grunder Industries was working for the Grey Men, the group which pitted Osea and Yuktobania against each other. Also, a giant tunnel had been built under the mountains between Sudentor and North Belka, allowing Belkan forces and technology to be brought into Osea.

The Razgriz Squadron and several squadrons of now-allied Osean and Yuktobanian fighters, along with Osean and Yuke ground forces, launched an attack on Sudentor on the stormy night of December 30, 2010. They faced Belkan/Grunder forces and Osean and Yuktobanian forces working for the remaining warmongers, who were promised a remaining V1 tactical nuke.

Osean ground forces managed to open up the tunnel under the Waldreich, and the Razgriz were tasked with flying into the tunnel through the southern end to destroy a control node for the SOLG, while Capt. Jack "Heartbreak One" Bartlett destroyed the control node on his end of the tunnel. Despite resistance from Belkan sympathizer Capt. Allen C. Hamilton and several Belkan fighters which flew into the tunnel, the Razgriz succeeded in destroying the SOLG control nodes, exiting the tunnel at its northern end, which led to the snow-covered, nuclear wasteland in North Belka.

Following the Circum-Pacific War, Grunder Industries was renamed General Resource LTD. It is believed Sudentor remained the company's headquarters.
