The Schayne Plains Plains are seen in '''Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War'''. The Schayne Plains are located in central North-Osea / South Belka and have many large hills; most of them are covered in dense pine trees. A river twists among the hills on its way to the ocean. A large deserted base lies to the northwest. To the south there are massive scars in the earth caused by Excalibur, the superweapon that was fired for what was believed to be the second time, at Allied aircraft.

During the Allied Force's Operation Dynamo, Alpha, Beta and Theta teams were launched into combat against three key Belkan Postitions in the Schayne Plains. The plains acted as Belka's second defense line. Alpha Team was assigned to engage an enemy Anti-Aircraft base, backed by Belkan Armored Elements. Beta Team engaged a second large anti-air base, which also incorporated Aircraft and Theta Team engaged Belkan Air Force aircraft. Together each team cleared the Schayne Plains and allowed Allied Escorts to move north. As the allied transports moved north escorted by fighters, the transports were destroyed by a large laser beam, which fell from the sky. In a scramble, all remaining allied fighters headed south, out of the range of the Belkan Laser Ordinance. Few fighters escaped; among them was the Ustian 66th AFU 'Galm' of the 6th Air Division. It was later discovered that the Laser Ordinance came from the Belkan Chemical Laser System, known as the "Excalibur".

"Just look at the view. There's not much difference between those countries from up here."
Larry Foulke to Cipher[2]

The Schayne Plains are an expanse of relatively flat grasslands located in North Osea (formerly South Belka), northeast of the Great Lakes and northwest of Lumen. During the Belkan War, the plains became the site of a decisive engagement between the Belkan Army and the Allied Forces.

Geography

The Schayne Plains are a steppe—a large, inland grassland comprised of open expanses and rolling forested hills. A narrow, winding river, which possibly flows into one of the Great Lakes to the southwest, traverses the region.

Two former Belkan air bases can be found on the plains on opposite sides of the river: one to the northwest, and one to the southeast.

History

Schayne Plains (ACZ)

An aerial view of the Schayne Plains' rolling hills and varied ground cover

In mid-May 1995, the Belkan Army was in retreat following the Allied Forces' initiation of Offensive Campaign No. 4101. The Belkans quickly established a vast defensive line across the Schayne Plains in an effort to halt the Allies' northward advance. The Allied Forces consequently launched Operation Dynamo, a multifaceted campaign that divided the Allies' air forces into three attack groups: Alpha, Beta, and Theta.[1]

At 1530hrs on May 19, Allied squadrons, supported by mercenary pilots such as Galm Team, attacked the Belkans' defensive line. The Allied strike teams were ultimately successful in clearing the Schayne Plains, allowing the Allied transport planes to move freely through the airspace. However, the Belkan chemical-laser weapon Excalibur fired on the Allies and destroyed all of the transports, along with several escort fighters.[2]
