All right, gentlemen, it's time to clean house!
This article or section may require a cleanup to meet Acepedia's quality standards.

"Benefits courtesy of the Golden Axe Plan. Way too much overkill for huntin' scorpions though!"
― Daniel Oruma

The GAF-1 Varcolac is a fictional multirole aircraft designed in the Ace Combat: Joint Assault universe for the Varcolac Squadron. It later made its first console appearance in Ace Combat Infinity.

Description

Developed in secrecy under the orders of Andre Olivieri, the GAF-1 Varcolac was a product of the Golden Axe Plan. It was the signature aircraft of the Varcolac Squadron.

The Varcolac is a high-end multirole aircraft and is compatible with a large number of parts for tuning. There are three cockpit parts exclusive to the Varcolac based on the Varcolac Squadron members' specialties, which can drastically alter the aircraft's attributes.

History

Joint Assault universe

GAF-1 Varcolac was used by Varcolac Squadron. Each of the Varcolacs was customised based on the pilot's specialty. Milosz Sulejmani's Varcolac had great maneuverability, and was equipped with an automated gun system that could intercept incoming missiles.

After the air and surface assaults on San Francisco were repelled by Martinez Security and United States Third Fleet, the Golden Axe Plan deployed Varcolac Squadron with GAF-1 Varcolacs. They were ultimately shot down by Antares Squadron.

Infinity universe

Apparently developed under similar circumstances in the Infinity timeline, the GAF-1 was one of the many unique aircraft designs acquired by Wernher and Noah Enterprises for use in their Advanced Automated Aviation Plant. During the global campaign against the USEA Federation, it was available to whatever United Nations Forces pilots could afford it.

Game Analysis

Ace Combat Infinity

"A large, versatile aircraft developed in secret based on the "Golden Axe Plan."
Massive in size, more than twice that of many other combat aircraft, and characterized by its forward jutting cockpits[sic].
It is a canard wing aircraft, with the massive backswept wing unified with the canards that stretch from the front of the aircraft and the winglets on the wing tips, and twin vertical tails that rise at an outward angle from the left and right engine units.
It is known as "Varcolac", meaning "werewolf"."
― Hangar

How to Unlock

The GAF-1 is available through the Aircraft Tree.
