ISAF Bulletin
September 24, 2006
Few people in history can legitimately claim the title of hero. However, the successes of Mobius 1 in the recent Continental War are such that no other name is worthy. His way of fighting was an inspiration to all ISAF units, and the plane known and feared by the Erusean military as “The Ribbon” once again dances in the sky of Usea.
A resistance movement centered around officers of the Erusean Air Force, called Free Erusea, has strengthened by the day. Although the old Erusean government did not have a formal military alliance with the Union of Yuktobanian Republics or the Republic of Anea, mutual aid activities concerning arms trade have been observed. This strength culminated in an attack on a former military arsenal that had been placed under IUN control, where they stole numerous weapons. Taking these factors into consideration, ISAF determined there exists a large scale terror network and decided to launch a suppression operation. Free Erusea has spread across the continent, but we will begin sweeping them up. As of September 24th, Mobius 1 has commenced this mission, and tales of his inspiring victories are already being told. Translation Notes[1] 国連 is presumably the IUN, but Usea Today uses Latin characters in its source text so we cannot be sure. 国連 also appears in War.
Original Text歴史上英雄の称号を冠する者は数少ない。しかし先の大陸戦争においての「メビウス1」の活躍ほど、その名に相応しいものは無いだろう。その戦いぶりはISAF全ての部呼称され恐れられた機体が、今再びユージアの空を舞っている。
"FREE ERUSEA"(自由エルジア)"と名乗る旧エルジア空軍将校を中心とした残党勢力は日増しに抵抗の度合いを強め、ついには国連管理下に置かれていた旧軍事工廠を襲撃、多数の兵器を強奪するまでに至った。旧エルジア共和国はユークトバニア連邦やアネア共和国と直接の軍事的同盟は結んでいなかったものの、非公式な武器輸出入に関する相互支援活動は以前より指摘されていた。この背景には大規模なテロ・ネットワークへの関与もあるとみて、ISAFは特別討伐作戦の実施を決定。大陸各地に広がる「自由エルジア」勢力の掃討が始まった。 9月24日現在、任務遂行中である「メビウス1」の誇りある戦果も既に伝えられている。 |
