Alect Squadron (unit)

General Information
The Alect Squadron are seen in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. The Alect usually operate six S-32. When piloting the prototype 'Fenrir', they are an extreme threat to any enemy's around them. The squadron is the DLAF's elite op, primarily to engage enemy fighters head-on and disrupt enemy morale psychologically. A report says a contact of Lorenz Riedel is part of this squadron. The Alect are team comprised of some foreign-trained aces. Much is still not unearthed about this squadron. Only the Aurelian Air Force has declassified documents regarding their information, records, and IDs'. The DLAF recruited them around some time during the Leasathian Civil War. A high-ranked individual is assigned to commander of this group. Some other personal reports say he had the cool feeling and the sly voice of a Belkan pilot. Nothing is confirmed however, due to their deaths in the Aurelian War.

History
(NOTE: There are two possible ways to engage the Alect. The following ways shall be specified by two different colors.)

The Alect Squadron is Leasath's Elite Tactical Fighter Squadron, comprised of Leasath's best pilots. The Alect Squadron is well known among the Aurelian Air Force for their operations completed during the beginning of the war. The pilots themselves are very skilled, but sometimes seem to be overly confident in their skills. In mid 2020 the Alect Squadron’s activity had dropped off, most likely due to Leasath Orders.

The Alect was dispatched once again, near the end of 2020. Seeing Leasath’s desperate situation, the Alect were called upon for the purpose of operate a new model of aircraft known as the “Fenrir”. Their first objective was to collect battle data from a fight with the Southern Cross, over Archelon Fortress. The data that they will find, will be useless, though. They are all shot down and killed when Aurelian special forces dismantle their optical camouflage generator on the ground. Even the fleeing member within the fortress is destroyed. It is possible that that member is Lorenz Riedl's contact from a 'A World with No Boundaries'.

Ending A
On their way to the Danern Straits they had run into Aurelia’s Ace Pilot known as the “Southern Cross”. A large scale air battle was already in progress within that area between advancing Aurelian Air Forces and defending Leasath Air Forces. Half-way through the engagement the Alect Squadron entered the area on their way to Sentry Island. Seeing an opportunity the Alect engaged the “Southern Cross” and all surrounding Aurelian Aircraft. The Alect engaged in small groups of two to four, and chased down Gryphus One. However, the engagement ended with the destruction of the entire Alect Squadron, resulting in shock on each side.

Ending B
The Alect Squadron managed to arrive at Archelon Fortress, upon which they were outfitted with the Fenrir, and its Optical Stealth. A short time later, Gryphus 1 and Aurelian forces assaulted Archelon Fortress. Unfortunately, Alect Squadrons skill, coupled with the power of the Fenrir, proved to be impossible to defeat even for Gryphus 1. A small Aurelian landing force managed to bypass defenses and land on the island. They then destroyed the Microwave Transmitter, nullifying the Fenrir's cloaking. Gryphus 1 was then able to destroy Alect and all Leasath fighters. However, a single Fenrir attempted to escape the fortress. Gryphus 1 entered the fortress and destroyed it, along with all the other Fenrirs and one U-2 Dragon Lady. Gryphus 1 flew out of Archelon Fortress as it exploded.
