Power for Life is the 39th mission of the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. It is the first mission along the Neucom (I) story arc. The player can only pilot the R-311 Remora in this mission.

Plot

"Against Commander Park's order, the player protected Delegate Clarkson's private plane from attacks by General Resource and UPEO, and transferred to Neucom along with the Delegate and Fi. Soon after, Neucom decides to launch an operation using their newly-developed weapons against General Resource, which had kept breaking the ceasefire agreement. And the player was going to join that operation too."

Briefing

Despite the ceasefire, General Resource have repeatedly attacked us, prompting us to counterattack.
Sally via the new Mobura strato attack aircraft.
Then, drop with the "Remora" parasite craft, and destroy GR's White Valley Air Force Base.

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 player will be awarded Mission Accomplished and the next mission will be Guardian Angel. If the player does not destroy them all, the mission will end 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 has been fixed in Project NEMO's fan-translation.
