Biography[]
Shattered Skies[]
For most of the Continental War, Mobius 1 was the only pilot in the ISAF's 118th Tactical Fighter Wing. He was often flying by various other ISAF pilots from other squadrons. Early on, he participated in some more basic operations such as shooting down bombers or knocking out various Erusean bases. Later on, he was able to begin crippling the Erusean forces by destroying one of their main sources of fuel and knocking down the majority of their so-called "invincible Aegir naval fleet. Early on, he was faced with encounters from two of Erusea's biggest weapons, their Stonehenge railgun system originally used to shoot down asteroids, and shooting down the first Yellow Squadron plane in the entire war. For a while, Mobius 1 scored several more victories for the ISAF forces, such as helping an important satellite get launched or being the first person to lay a hit on a Yellow Squadron plane. and eventually was able to destroy Stonehenge making it much easier for ISAF forces to push to the west into Erusean controlled territory on the Usean continent.
Eventually ISAF forces were able to free the nation of San Salvacion from Erusean control and took the fight to the Eruseans' home turf in their capital city of Farbanti. In the capital of Farbanti, Mobius 1 was encountered by Yellow Squadron once again, and he managed to shoot down all of their aircraft in the process.
However, even after Erusea's surrender, a group of former Erusean military personnel fled to another superweapon facility known as Megalith in a last attempt to destroy ISAF forces. Mobius 1 was sent to destroy it, now as the leader of his own squadron simply called "Mobius Squadron." He encountered another squadron of Su-37 Terminators also marked as Yellow Squadron, which were defeated and Mobius 1 successfully destroyed the Megalith facility from the inside, bringing an end to the Continental War.
The Unsung War[]
In 2006, Mobius 1 returned to put an end to an uprising of Erusean Radicals calling themselves "Free Erusea." Persumably, the organization went into hiding after they were defeated, awaiting to try to strike again.
