Following is the '''list of missions in the uncut original version ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]'''''. Upon its initial release, ''Electrosphere'' consisted of 52 missions but due to story branching, only 15 to 19 could be completed in a single playthrough.
 +
Following is the '''list of [[campaign]] missions in the Japanese version of ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]'''''. The missions are split into different story arcs depending on which organization the player is allied with at that point in the story.
   
  +
==UPEO (I)==
−
Unlike in other games of the [[Ace Combat (series)|''Ace Combat'' series]], most missions could be completed with varying degrees of success. The message "Mission Accomplished" was awarded for fulfilling both mandatory (e.g. destroying all targets) and optional mission requirements (e.g. staying within time limit); "Mission Over", for only completing the former; and "Mission Failed", for crashing or being shot down, which led to a game over. Both "Mission Accomplished" and "Mission Over" prompted different dialogue from characters and, after certain missions, unlocked secret levels.
  
  +
The player will always begin the game in this story arc as a member of the [[Universal Peace Enforcement Organization]] (UPEO).
−  
−
In the Mission Simulator mode, the missions are numbered [[wikipedia:hexadecimal|hexadecimally]]. The same convention is used in this mission list.

[[File:Electrosphere story arc chart.png|thumb|A simplified chart of major story arcs in ''Ace Combat 3'']]
  
−  
−
The 52 missions of ''Ace Combat 3'' can be grouped into nine major story arcs, separated by plot-relevant decisions that result in shifts of the player character [[Nemo]]'s allegiances. These four decision points (marked <span style="color:#FFC000;">'''orange'''</span> on the chart to the right) are points of no return, which ultimately determine which one of the five possible endings (marked <span style="color:#FF0000;">'''red'''</span>) the player will receive. Some arcs are completely linear; others feature hidden missions (9 in total) that either replace the default "core" missions or are inserted between them. Unlike major plot choices, these hidden missions have no effect on the outcome of the game.
  
−

For a complete flowchart of all missions and story branches, see the '''[[:File:Electrosphere mission chart.png|''Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere'' mission chart]]'''.
  
−  
−
==Missions==
  
−
===UPEO (I)===
  
−
The player always starts the game as a member of the [[Universal Peace Enforcement Organization]]. With only four linear missions, UPEO (I) is tied with [[#Ouroboros (II)|Ouroboros (II)]] for the shortest arc of the game.

AC3 Mission Chart

A diagram of AC3's missions and their paths

Following is the list of campaign missions in the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. The missions are split into different story arcs depending on which organization the player is allied with at that point in the story.

UPEO (I)

The player will always begin the game in this story arc as a member of the Universal Peace Enforcement Organization (UPEO).

# Title
Subtitle 		Date Location
Awakening Expo City
Conflict breaks out between Neucom and General Resource. As part of their peacekeeping efforts, UPEO rookie pilots Fiona Chris Fitzgerald, Erich Jager, and Nemo, reinforced by the famous ace Rena Hirose, attack and destroy Neucom fighters trespassing over Expo City.
Bravado Waiapolo Mountains
Nemo, Fiona, Erich, and Rena are all transferred to UPEO's Special Armed Response Force (SARF). Their first deployment in this role is taking down a Neucom radar site that is jamming a General Resource airfield in the Waiapolo Mountains.
Enter Dision Chopinburg
As part of cooperation between SARF and General Resource, Nemo performs a joint training session with the company's ace Abyssal Dision and his wingman Keith Bryan. Their exercise is interrupted by Neucom dropping chemical containers within General Resource airspace, and they fly to intercept them. Since the containers cannot be locked on, Nemo shoots them down with his machine guns.
Paper Tiger Rocky Island
UPEO discovers a number of Neucom units amassing near Megafloat and authorizes a preemptive strike. Since Rena's Su-37R is inoperable, Nemo, Fiona, and Erich sortie without her, reinforced by Dision and Keith. Upon destroying the Neucom forces, news arrives that UPEO representative Gabriel William Clarkson negotiated a cease-fire between Neucom and General Resource. Dision, discontent with the politicians' methods, offers Nemo to join General Resource in order to "change the world".

DECIDE: The player can either join Dision at General Resource (moving to the General Resource (I) story arc) or refuse and stay loyal to UPEO (moving to the UPEO (II) story arc).

UPEO (II)

The player will enter this story arc if they decided to stay loyal at the end of Paper Tiger in the UPEO (I) story arc.

# Title
Subtitle 		Date Location
Broken Truce Waiapolo Mountains
In violation of the cease-fire, General Resource attacks a Neucom air base. Nemo, Fiona, and Erich are sent to quell the hostilities. Dision and Keith observe the skirmish from afar without interfering (they cannot be locked onto).
Ghosts of the Past Hatties Ravine
Nemo and Rena (the latter sortieing for the first time in three missions) pursue a General Resource surveillance aircraft through a narrow canyon while at low altitude. While in pursuit, Rena suddenly recovers vague memories of the surrounding area and of Dision. Eventually, the spy plane leads them to a General Resource research facility, which they destroy.
No Clearance Expo City
The player will play this mission only if they discovered the secret base in Ghosts of the Past.

Rena takes off on an unauthorized personal mission and invites Nemo to join her. SARF Commander Gilbert Park orders them to turn around.

If Nemo joins Rena, they run into General Resource planes led by Dision immediately after take-off. During the skirmish, Rena verbally confronts Dision about the X-49 Night Raven, claiming he took it from her. Afterwards, their misconduct is overlooked thanks to their victory against General Resource, while Rena purges the flight data.

Fragile Cargo Axel Bay
The player will play this mission if they didn't discover the secret base in Ghosts of the Past, or if they obeyed Park and left Rena in No Clearance.

An unknown terrorist group sends an airship filled with biological weapons towards the Axel Bay area. Nemo, Fiona, and Erich destroy the chimneys it tries crashing into. They then destroy the hydrofoil with the escaping terrorists. Following the mission, Fiona tells Nemo about her sister, Cynthia, who works for Neucom and wants Fiona to join her.

Scylla and Charybdis Lambert Mountains
SARF tasks Erich and Nemo with escorting an R-505U on a top-secret mission; Fiona is piloting the R-505U, and UPEO representative Clarkson is on-board. A General Resource squadron enters the area, but Nemo and Erich manage to repel them. Rena catches up with the group as SARF Commander Park reveals that Fiona, Clarkson, and other UPEO personnel are attempting to defect to Neucom. Rena and an allied R-101U prepare to attack the R-505U.

DECIDE: If the player shoots down the R-505U or allows Rena to shoot it down, they will move to the UPEO (III) story arc. If the player shoots down the allied R-101U, Rena will retreat and the player will defect to Neucom, moving to the Neucom (I) story arc.

UPEO (III)

The player will enter this story arc if Fiona is killed by some means at the end of Scylla and Charybdis in the UPEO (II) story arc.

# Title
Subtitle 		Date Location
Fates Intertwined White Valley
Nemo, Rena, and Erich are sent to intercept four of Neucom's R-531 Moburas over General Resource's White Valley air base. Due to UPEO's lack of Strato Fighters, the three pilots use the Su-37 Super Flanker to intercept them.
Reaching for Stars Comona Islands
Nemo, Rena, and Erich intercept General Resource Antlions attempting to invade Neucom's base at the Comona Islands.
One-Way Ticket Sandbury Desert
Reports emerge of Neucom kidnapping General Resource scientists. UPEO discovers the scientists are being transported via train and sends Nemo, Rena, and Erich to stop the train.
Bug Hunt Chopinburg
Neucom's Nano-Bytes in Chopinburg have gone rogue. UPEO sends Nemo, Rena, and Erich to eliminate them using Anti-Nanobyte Bombs. The mission goes awry when Rena's Su-37-R becomes infected with Nano-Bytes, so Nemo drops an Anti-Nanobyte Bomb onto Rena's plane to save her.
Pawns in the Game Expo City
UPEO sends Nemo, Rena, and Erich to bomb General Resource armories in Expo City. They are provided with three R-211 Orcinus and work with a Neucom UI-4053 Sphyrna for jamming support, all aircraft featuring Neucom liveries. The operation was a success, but General Resource blames Neucom for what they call a terrorist attack, and it is revealed that Commander Park is attempting to instigate conflict between the two companies.
Damage Control Port Edwards
General Resource and Neucom declare war on each other, breaking out in conflict over Port Edwards. In a state of emergency, UPEO sends Nemo, Rena, and Erich to shoot down the fighters from both companies to end the hostilities. After the mission is completed, the terrorist organization Ouroboros reveals itself and begins operations against UPEO, Neucom, and General Resource. SARF Commander Park disbands the SARF and confesses his alliance to Ouroboros, asking all former SARF pilots to join him.
