Alect Squadron is one of the final missions of Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. It is one of the two alternatives available after the Griswall missions, the other being the air-to-ground oriented Armada.
Briefing[]
Intelligence has confirmed the outline of a squadron of Leasath fighters bound for Archelon Fortress.
A sympathizer from within the enemy has informed us that the squadron is none other than Leasath's elite Alect Squadron. If they were to capture Archelon Fortress' Fenrir, one can only imagine the devastation they would cause. The Danern Straits could provide us with a chance to intercept them before they reach the fortress.
Your mission will be to take on this elite unit. You must destroy them all.
Objectives[]
The mission's primary objective is to shoot down the Alect Squadron. However, the player must shoot down four planes before they appear.

Debriefing[]
We've succeeded in stopping the Alect Unit before they could reach Archelon Fortress. It was an extremely dangerous mission, but we had to stop them from getting behind the controls of Fenrir. This was a very important victory for us. Great work.
