The Round Table ("円卓", The Round Table) is the third mission of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. It is the mission that introduces ace squadron encounters, along with the consequences of the Ace Style system.

Briefing

"Head Operations has issued an emergency order for a reconnaissance mission to be conducted near the border. You will be monitoring the airspace B7R currently under Belkan control. Strong opposition is expected by enemy squadrons, and the presence of a magnetic field has been detected, which may interfere with communications. In short, this will not be a walk in the park. The B7R airspace is located above an area rich in subterranean resources, where many conflicts have been fought in the past. You're authorized to engage enemy planes upon contact. The time has come for your skills to be tested."

Objectives

This mission is comprised entirely of Air-to-Air combat with many targets of which to shoot down, albeit, none of the initial targets are mission critical. Moving towards the mountain range of B7R will cause more of the formations surrounding the area to initiate combat with your craft. Destroying all aircraft will cause AWACS to tell you to head towards B7R airspace. Alternatively, leaving the targets and heading straight for the North-West interior airspace will cause a mission update to occur.

Mission Update

Once the mission update is triggered, one of three Belkan ace squadrons, Rot Squadron, Grun Team or Indigo Squadron will enter the airspace, depending on the Ace Style selected, being Mercenary, Soldier or Knight, respectively. Destroying them will cause the mission to end successfully.  

S Rank

Destroy all initial targets before or after the mission update along with the ace squadron, regardless of the amount of Yellow targets destroyed, will ensure an S Rank on this mission.

Aces

  • X-29A "Tausend" (#014)
  • F-16XL "Amsel" (#025)

Debriefing

Knight

"It seems B7R is more heavily guarded than we thought. If it wasn't for you, this ploy of ours probably would have failed. Keep up the good work."

Soldier

"Thanks to your success, we managed to confuse Belka. You've caught the attention of Head Operations."

Mercenary

"Well done. I'll make sure Head Operations hears about how you defeated an elite squad of enemy Typhoons. Now go rest up. You've earned it."

Trivia

  • Even though the mission commander states that the magnetic field in B7R may interfere with communications in the briefing, all characters can communicate perfectly.
  • The Round Table is one of the few missions in which aircraft are identified by name, as Pixy mentions the name of each ace squadron's aircraft when their respective encounter begins.
    • Also, when fighting the Indigo Squadron for a while, one of the pilots will say, "He knows how to fly an Eagle," referring to Pixy and his plane.
  • The ace battle in this mission is alluded to in the promotional book "Confession of a Soldier". In page #3, the narrator states his hearing rumors of a "large scale battle" over the border, along with the official Belkan declaration that Galm was defeated by an unnamed squadron and fled. This indicates that Belka covered up the incident to maintain soldiers' morale.
  • The player starts at different altitudes depending on their Ace Style: 390 meters for Mercenary, 1171 meters for Soldier, and 3906 meters for Knight.
