Straight from a Project Aces senior member. So, what does that mean? The sceptics who said Strangereal wasn't canon to UGSF were right all along? We'll have yet to see if they'll connect it in the future, but it's pretty clear that as of today, it isn't. Fanzines don't factor into canon? What are we gonna do with this?

So, I have noticed that some of you are buying some UGSF magazines. Are this current magazines or some old magazines? Are they official English releases or are they in Japanese? I am mildly interested in the UGSF thing but for what I can see 90% of the material seems to be in 80s arcade games with no real in-game plot, development bibles and an unreleased game, so I think this franchise is not really worth my investment now that seems as if it is still in conception as a franchise, but that is why am I asking, Am I missing something? Are UGSF things still ongoing or it is just an odd piece of culture trivia like "yeah 80s Bandai-Namco arcades and Ace Combat share a universe according to some random promotional website from 2011"?

What is your reaction to this? Should we have it as the new logo or keep the old logo?

Hello everyone!! It's been awhile, this is Nekokid.

Lately, I've been busy with IRL work as well as having a lack of motivation to carry on these works as I wanted to/once did. However, I am doing well.

Currently, the Xevious Fardraut Novel translation is in the works and I would like to extend it to those who are interested in aiding these translations. I hope one day that the translation will be completed and made as readable as possible.

Oh, and it appears we have Halloween and Thanksgiving on the horizon. So I'll be doing my best to provide content for the UGSF wikia as well as talking to Enthu-T for assistance with this wikia.

Well, that's a small update and I am sorry to be as late as I am with them. Hopefully, I will be able to do a winter update for this year before the New Year.

If you have feedback, please feel free to let us know!! Thanks in advance.

Timeline doc itself :)

Hi everyone, this is Neko. Sorry for the late, out of date wiki update. I've been meaning to do so earlier on but I've been busy to the point of forgetting to do things that I've wanted to do.

To make this meandering story short, I plan on doing more blog translations as well as doing the Mizuiro blog posts. Afterwards, I want to either do the UGSF books or do the Xevious novel to get them on Internet Archive (provided that the scanner I do own would want to work and/or the rules would allow it though I doubt the both). Otherwise, I might have to do the Interstellar Nations page with the information we do have via Re:Fardraut NSO Translations.

2022 may be a promising new year and I can't wait to see more of the UGSF materials as well as merchandising announcements from the UGSF Twitter page.

That's all folks. Have a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!

2040 Man of the Year on Data Swallow

The True Face of Dision, General Resource Pilot!

Many people think that the title "ace pilot" is no longer necessary to describe this man. For him, however, this is not the case. "For me personally, the act of flying has its own meaning. Since time immemorial, we humans have been fascinated by birds, and through centuries of ingenuity, we have succeeded in sending a lump of iron soaring into the sky. I am still proud to be a General pilot." It was through a chance miscommunication that I was able to contact the man who is generally known for his dislike of interviews. I was checking the many video mails from editors urging me to write, and one of them was the mail that Abyssal Dision sent to his friend. This encounter led to a series of emails between him and me. My impressions of him were quite different from what I saw in the news reports. The General Dision we know is a "calm strategist" and a "unique but respected boss". He was born in 1997, and joined General after graduating from GR Defense University in 2018, and was assigned to GRDF at the same time. He earned his ace name from his performance in the famous 2026 terrorist suppression operation. However, the incident that made him famous was his miraculous survival from the explosion at General's research facility in May 2030. In May 2030, he survived an explosion at General's research facility and, like his colleague Keith Bryan, he had been little more than a good pilot. "I don't have anything to say about the accident, but I do have one thing to say. I had never thought about death before, but after the accident, I became aware of the limitations of the body, which contains the time bomb of death.”

In the following year, he became known as the producer of the genius girl pilot Rena Hirose. A lot of information about her is confidential. However, it seems that she is not only lovely and beautiful, but also a very talented pilot. "Yes, yes. My encounter with Rena was very similar to my encounter with you (laughs). It was a moment that really made me think about the possibilities in the electronic data space of the Electrosphere. I was looking for a friend on the Data Swallow who was as aware of the limitations of the body as I was. That's when I met her.

"It was a dreamlike experiment in neural control. A worldwide sensation. It had only been a few years since the canopy had been removed from the cockpit of an airplane and the pilot had a 360-degree view with video. With her arrival, we now have the technology to make our dreams a reality. Her potential. It's safe to say that I fell in love with it. Her experimentation has led to a quantum leap in the technology of the Electrosphere. It was a happy miscalculation, far beyond my expectations. However, this led to the tragedy of her having too much influence in the company.”

She has now been transferred to UPEO as a seconded employee from General, as a result of the public's disapproval of General continuing to conduct dangerous experiments on a pilot who was so well-known. "I still feel that she is like a daughter to me. That much is true. And I am happy to know that she is still flying as a pilot at the NUN. One day, we will fly together again..."

His sentimental words reassure me that Dision is a human child. Yes. His true face is still that of a boy who yearns for the sky. No matter how much technology advances, he will never forget his romantic feelings about airplanes. He was awarded the "Man of the Year" award, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for him.

RRR ‘99 Pre-Festival Report! Real Racing Roots '99 is finally here!

Interviewed and written by Jim Lyle

(Translator’s note: Same Jim Lyle from one of the Ace Combat 04 magazines, “Continent Usea” from Color of the World?)

He is an exclusive writer for Pole Position magazine, a renowned racing journal. Known for his passionate speech and sharp commentary, his representative works include "Mistakes in Choosing a Racing Game", "Where's Gnade?", and "The Truth About Reiko Nagase". In this interview, I was impressed by the way he persistently interviewed the race queens more than the race officials.

/

On January 4th, the night before the Real Racing Roots (RRR) '99 was held at the Pacman Dome adjacent to the Phantom Mile Circuit in Yokohama, Japan. When the race starts, the teams and manufacturers are always in a heated mood, but on this day, they were in a festive mood, chatting and laughing with each other. The event looked somewhat similar to the R4 event held at the Namco booth at the Tokyo Game Show, but that's probably just my imagination. Anyway, let's visit the venue.

The venue was overflowing with enthusiasm.

With the race boom having died down, there were concerns about how many people would show up for the RRR eve festival. But when we opened the doors, we found a wave of people with no room to spare, and it was spectacular. The people involved must have been relieved at the success of the event.

The owners and drivers of the teams were already in attendance. They didn't seem to have a tense expression on their faces, and seemed to be enjoying a short break from the festivities of the day. The other day, I had a chance to interview Mr. Yaki of the Pac Racing Club, and because the race was so close, I felt as if I was touching something, but today, he seemed really relaxed. He was very relaxed today, and I was impressed with his change of mind. By comparison, Robert, the manager of the degrading team, was a bit lackluster. I guess it is unavoidable under such a wealthy owner.

I regained my composure and looked around the venue. The two-tone colors of black and yellow, the image colors of this tournament, were quite novel. But the first thing that jumps out at you are the many monitors that cover the surrounding walls. On the screens, race scenes are being shown, but if you look closely, you'll see that these are the circuits where the main event will be held. It's just a demonstration run now, but in a dozen hours or so, the qualifying round will start on the same track. When I think of this, the seriousness in my eyes naturally increases as I stare at the screen. It's not only the racers who are nervous. We, the journalists, are also serious about the race. I can't help thinking about which corner I should wait for to get a good picture, or at which point the racers are going to make their move, while staring at the screen.

The opening is with the roaring sound of the engine!

At that moment, the venue, which had been just buzzing with activity, was suddenly filled with the sound of an engine roar. The ceremony was about to begin. Scaffolding was erected above the monitors that surrounded the venue, and companions dressed in tight costumes like race queens appeared on the stage. In their hands was a checkered flag. As they began to wave the checkered flag in the air, house music interrupted the sound of the engine, and the DJ's rap music began to play. It was as if we had wandered into a club.

Suddenly, I notice that Miss Sophie, the female owner of RC Micro Mouse Mappy, is swaying her body to the rhythm. The dancers on stage are doing their best to attract attention, but she's no slouch when it comes to attention. She’s the most beautiful woman in the racing world, but how is her skill as an owner? At just 24 years of age, she is rumored to not know much about racing, but it is said that she has been able to attract talented team members with her money. In the end, it all depends on the new drivers she signs up this year.

Enki speaks passionately about his aspirations!

At some point, a host appeared on stage and a game competition was being held. It seems to be the latest video game, a racing game called "R4". It was developed by a Japanese company called Namco, and to the eyes of those who are used to watching real racing, it was quite a spectacle. It's quite a funny sight to see the world's top-class drivers, who would be world-class if they were driving real cars, surprisingly struggling with the small controllers.

And there’s a mature man who gives some loud advice about the game. It's Mr. Enki of Racing Team Solvalou. He's known for his strict coaching style, but I'm sure he doesn't have to check the game. We decided to have a quick chat with him. "We have a quota of perfect wins. It's not just about getting results. The problem is the content of the run… I'm telling you to push the direction pad all the way down!” While being interviewed, his mind seems to be on the game and he is a bit worried about qualifying tomorrow. There was one thing that caught my attention in the racing-related exhibition space where I saw the future of racing at Jogcon. It's a brand-new steering wheel called "Jogcon", which is rumored to be the key to the future of racing. It's surprisingly small in design and feels good to hold. The same company that developed this steering wheel also released the "Negcon" steering wheel, which has revolutionized racing. Drivers who are accustomed to conventional steering wheels may find it uncomfortable at first, but I have a feeling this steering wheel will be a hit. Still, it's an interesting thing to think about.

Well, it was a bit of a rush, but this is the summary of the RRR eve festival. My only regret was that I couldn't meet RRR's mascot girl, Reiko Nagase. Unfortunately, she couldn't attend the event due to some business, so she was only introduced in a video clip. She was just on location to appear in the opening movie of the R4 game that I mentioned earlier. Well, let's see what kind of performance she's going to show us later, and let's wrap up this report.

Round 1

16000 years ago, the Earth was united into one prosperous nation. The complex and diverse administration was controlled by the bio-computer "GAMP".

Eventually, GAMP began to have an ego, and his ambition was to rule all mankind by controlling their personality, likening himself to a god.

However, some humans was immune to GAMP's personality control.

They formed an underground organization called "the Buggles" and tried to resist GAMP.

GAMP emigrated to six planets, leaving those who did not submit on Earth, and tried to eradicate them.

The members of the Buggles took the "Gizepitr (?)" and headed for GAMP.

Round 2

Gizepitr succeeds in destroying GAMP.

However, GAMP awakened a replica of itself on a colony ship before it stopped functioning.

The GAMP threat remained.

4000 years after the destruction of GAMP, a powerful energy wave struct the Earth.

it was by the GAMP on the planet Xevious.

Mankind has landed Mu on Xevious.

Round 3

Solvalou has finally reached the final defense line of the Xevious army.

The Sheonite then merged with it, powering up all systems in preparation for the final battle with GAMP.

Round 4

Solvalou finally destroyed GAMP, and the ESP-linked six-planet GAMP replica was fatally damaged.

However...

Anyway, the MSX2 story was already localized, so no need. BTW, what does "Garu Boza" mean? And we gotta get the novel on this site too.

Title. I feel like this means we wouldn't have been seeing new ETIs like, say, Klingons/Romulans/Vulcans/(insert Star Wars/whatever non-humanoid alien race) in NSO in the end?

About the former species, take a look at the 2489 section of the UGSF timeline site.
