==Briefing==
  +
''We've received a report that remaining [[Belka]]n troops are converging on Belka's northeast coast of [[Anfang]]. The enemy is deploying land, sea and air strike teams. These troops refuse to accept the Belkan interim government's official capitulation, and are adamantly resisting. In light of the current political situation, this mission will be a top-secret operation carried out entirely by mercenaries. The mission will be called Operation Broom, and will be divided into three separate areas. The Mars strike team will attack enemy naval vessels and surface troops along the coast. The Mercury strike team will engage land units and enemy fighters that are using a tunnel as a makeshift air base. The Jupiter strike team will be responsible for maintaining air superiority after the Mars and Mercury teams have completed their missions. This operation will begin at 1600, when the capitulation ceremony takes place in [[Lumen]]. Mars team will strike first, followed by Mercury and then Jupiter. Choose carefully which team you wish to join. That is all.''

"This... This is no remnant resistance. This war's not over yet."
― PJ

The Final Overture is the 14th campaign mission in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. Similar to Juggernaut and Merlon, the player can choose one of three operations to take part in.

Briefing

We've received a report that remaining Belkan troops are converging on Belka's northeast coast of Anfang. The enemy is deploying land, sea and air strike teams. These troops refuse to accept the Belkan interim government's official capitulation, and are adamantly resisting. In light of the current political situation, this mission will be a top-secret operation carried out entirely by mercenaries. The mission will be called Operation Broom, and will be divided into three separate areas. The Mars strike team will attack enemy naval vessels and surface troops along the coast. The Mercury strike team will engage land units and enemy fighters that are using a tunnel as a makeshift air base. The Jupiter strike team will be responsible for maintaining air superiority after the Mars and Mercury teams have completed their missions. This operation will begin at 1600, when the capitulation ceremony takes place in Lumen. Mars team will strike first, followed by Mercury and then Jupiter. Choose carefully which team you wish to join. That is all.

Mission Descriptions

Mars

Objectives

Mars is an anti-surface mission, combining ground targets on the coastline and enemy ships west of the coast. A small group of Gripens also defend the area after the player destroys some of the enemies.

The player will complete the mission upon destroying all TGTs.

Debriefing

Thanks to your help, the operation was a success. The ceremony was also conducted without any trouble. We are still investigating why so many enemy forces were converging together, but have succeeded in cutting off the remaining resistance forces from the rest of the Belkan army.

Mercury

Objectives

Mercury is a combined air-to-air/air-to-ground mission. The player must destroy some ground facilities, but some Belkan aircraft marked as TGTs will spawn out of nearby tunnels. There are also many neutral ground targets that the player may wish to destroy on a Mercenary Ace Style.

The player will complete the mission upon destroying all TGTs.

Debriefing

Thanks to your help, the operation was a success. The ceremony was also conducted without any trouble. The various governments will meet to decide upon what happens to Belka now, in accordance with the war-end agreement.

Jupiter

Objectives

Jupiter is solely an anti-air mission. The player must shoot down almost every hostile aircraft in the area. However, while the player may be fooled by a single EA-6B Prowler jamming the airspace, many more will spawn and cover a large area in jamming. More aircraft will also spawn out of nearby tunnels as reinforcements.

The player will complete the mission upon destroying all TGTs.
