"I, UPEO Del. Gabriel W. Clarkson, my subordinates, and the 38 personnel on board my plane, declare our transfer to the NC Group!"

― Gabriel W. Clarkson

Power for Life is the 39th mission of the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. It is the 1st mission along the Neucom (I) story arc.

Mission Story

"Against Commander Park's orders, the Player protected Delegate Clarkson's personal plane from the attacks by General Resource and UPEO, and transferred to Neucom along with Fi and the Delegate. Soon after, Neucom decides to launch an operation using their newly-developed aircraft against General Resource, which had broken the ceasefire agreement on several occasions. And the Player would be part of that operation too."

Objectives

Mission Start

A pair of RF-12A2s are the primary targets. If the Player takes longer than 4 minutes to shoot them down, the mission will end when the second one is destroyed.

Mission Update

The second set of targets are four base buildings at the White Valley Air Force Base, alongside a pair of F/A-32Cs stationed there, one of which is piloted by Keith Bryan.

Numerous base facilities are present, particularly 3 oil tanks and 4 radar sites, which Cynthia Bridgitte Fitzgerald directs the player to destroy. If the Player destroys them, the mission ends with Mission Accomplished and the next mission will be Guardian Angel. If the Player does not destroy all of them, the mission ends with Mission Over and the next mission will be Zero Gravity.

Trivia

• The mission's briefing lists the two primary target aircraft over White Valley Air Base as XFA-36As, when they are actually F/A-32Cs. Furthermore, there are no XFA-36As in the mission at all. This error is fixed in the latest version of the Project NEMO fan-translation patch.
