Warriors and the Belkan War

Warriors and the Belkan War is the title of a documentary made by the Osean Broadcasting Corporation in 2005. The documentary tells the events leading to and during the 1995 Belkan War through interviews to several fighter pilots who fought in the war.

Through the making of the documentary, OBC reporter Brett Thompson traveled across the Strangereal world, recording the stories of Belkan and non-Belkan veteran in different interviews. Through the pilots' stories, he discovered their backstories, as well as their view on Cipher, the legendary mercenary that singlehandedly turned the tide of the war.

Warriors and the Belkan War is the second part of the story of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, centering on the more personal side of the war. The game's cutscenes constantly alternate between Thompson's narrations on the various events of the Belkan War and the interviews with the war's different ace pilots. The player's actions influence the interview, changing the interviews depending on their ace style (for example, Detlef Fleisher and Dominic Zubov are interviewed as a Mercenary.)
