Grabacr refers to two different fighter squadrons led by Ashley Bernitz - the 4er Tactisches Jagdstaffel he led during the Belkan War in 1995, and the unofficial name of the so-called 8492nd Aggressor Squadron he led until the early 2000s.

Following the end of the Belkan War and the disbandment of the Belkan Air Force, Bernitz and other Belkan pilots were invited to the OADF under the tentative 229 TFS designation before its redesignation to 8492 AGRS. That squadron was short-lived and disbanded prior to the post-Ulysses peacetime reforms.

Nevertheless, the squadron is alleged to have performed unofficial operations for certain Osean government agencies during the 2010 conflict, although no conclusive proof has emerged.

A descendant of now-former military aristocracy and a long-time member of the Raldpartei, Bernitz grew up during the country’s eastern expansion, inculcated with a desire the restoration of Belkan imperial glory from a young age. A star student, he and his family signed up for party membership in the early 1980s, effectively making them close to the party's inner circles from the start of the economic crises. At the time he believed not just a return to vintage imperial borders but in the “will to power” exercised by the party through the military.

He decided to stay in the armed forces following the end of his mandatory conscription period, entering the air force and rising to the ranks of fighter pilots.

Ashley demonstrated excellent flight combat acuity and a remarkable knack for strategy and patience, hounding adversaries as a means to ambush their backup. But his calm yet outspoken personal ideology caused polarizing reactions from colleagues and frequently threatened his career, especially as the Federal Law Review got underway.

The government attempted to make him a poster child for the air force by including him in propaganda, although he faced stiff competition from established propaganda faces such as the so-called Color Guard squadrons particularly Rot (Red). The perceived favor granted to him and other Raldpartei members in the military created significant tensions with so-called "moralists" such as a certain Colonel Buchner.

The relatively small presence of party die-hards did not seem to seriously undermine military unity toward the start of the conflict, primarily due to the tacit endorsements of Rald by a number of military higher-ups who would later serve as political appointments.

Nevertheless, the Oberkommando granted Bernitz and other party loyalists their own squadrons under the newly-formed 6th Air Division to further ensure their loyalty. Bernitz's 4er Taktisches Jagdstaffel was equipped with the SBMF S 47 (jointly developed with Yuktobania prior to the Raldpartei administration) thanks to the party's connections in industry. Overall, this arrangement seemed beneficial for those involved at the outbreak of the war, when his 4 TJS secured air supremacy above Lake Superior as part of Fall Kreuz (Cross, operation against Osea).

As the leader of his squadron, Bernitz instituted a unique policy that each pilot had to compete for their place at his wing on a mission-by-mission basis. While his 2nd and 3rd pilots were effectively interchangeable, he frequently rotated the 4th pilot out of the “rookie” snow-white plane until Annette Zweig (callsign Nachtigall) joined the squadron in late April.

Ultimately, the effects of attrition meant that Bernitz would go into the defining battle of his career with only Zweig at his wing.

Immediately prior to the Second Battle of B7R, Bernitz was alerted to Buchner's attempt to defect. As a matter of pride, party-loyal elements of the military ordered Bernitz to chase him down ahead of Schwarze and their Yuktobanian-born squad leader.

Although he accomplished this mission, he was then shot down by the so-called "Demon Lord” and spent the remainder of the conflict making his way back to friendly lines.

Not having taken part in the last-ditch nuclear attacks, Bernitz spent a considerable amount of time struggling to rationalize the Chancellor's decision - although the Treaty of Lumen and the cessation of southern Belka to Osea sped that process up considerably. Conversely his family came to accept the "wage of nuclear war," and began to renounce the ideology that led them there. This created a rift between them and Ashley that never healed.

Despite this, Ashley had long-since learned to play the long game. When the Osean military began to accept ex-Belkan pilots, he signed up and underwent a mandatory deradicalization process. To further prove this rehabilitation, he also married a war widow from the new North Osea and effectively adopted their son - although neither spouse nor child changed their names.

His expertise allowed him to eventually pick his own squadron of (secretly) like-minded individuals that would later evolve into the 8492 AGRS. After the squadron’s official disbandment, he moved to a consulting position with a private contractor.

2024 AC/PW Summer Fic Exchange

This summer, I held a fic exchange in my Ace Combat server! Probably the largest event I've ever organized (and probably the largest event I ever will. Subsequent exchanges will definitely be smaller.)

I wanted to share everything people wrote, because everyone went all out and it was awesome to see!

finally got around to some kind of ref sheet for tai's partner-in-grofit

i'd say he gets to roundabout the "repair shop storefront" stage before he gets infoosted

[frankdraw]

someone on facebook apparently prompted "biker charmander girl" on some @! program and that ended up on twxtter and one of the replies was "now for an artist to actually draw it"

well here you go

i admit the bike lineart was traced but i figure since manga/anime artists do that i can get away with that

[frankdraw]
