Captain Alice Rachel: Ace in training
Captain Alice Rachel's military career began on the 30/1/1995 when she joined the Osean Air Force. After basic training, she went on fighter pilot training, however losses from the Belkan war meant that her squadron was pushed into combat before they had completed their training.
Equipped with Bae Hawk advanced combat trainers, Alice and her squadron were assigned to defend the Edwards Air Force base on the border. Armed with two Sidewinder missiles and a 30mm cannon, the trainers were often facing hostile fighters that were both better-armed and flown by better-trained, more experienced pilots. In the first week after their deployment, Alice's squadron had suffered 85% casualties, an unacceptably high casualty level in any military operation.
But they were successful in keeping the Belkan strike fighters away from the base. Alice was to gain her first kill, a Belkan F-111 Raven on her first day of deployment. Flying a Combat Air Patrol, she spotted the Raven skimming the ground as it lined itself up for an attack on the base. Diving onto the enemy aircraft, she fired a Sidewinder missile at the Raven. The missile entered the left tailpipe of the aircraft and the aircraft spun into the ground. The crew, Lieutenant Karl Handle and Sergeant Hans Griber were able to eject and were sucessfully captured by base security.
She went on to down five more Raven's, two F-15E Eagles and one Tu-160 Blackjack.
Such devastating losses caused a scandal in Oured, especially as these pilots weren't even supposed to be on the frontline and the government ordered the remains of the squadron to be returned to their training base with immediate effect.
Completing the rest of her training in record time, Alice was posted to a squadron of F-16 Falcon's, this time flying close air support for the Osean army in the closing stages of the Belkan war. In this role, she was to down a further two A-10 Warthogs.
After her experiences in the Belkan war however, she left the Osean Air Force and became a civilian consultant to the North Point Air Force.
When the Stonehenge conflict began, she reluctantly joined the North Point Air Force and became an instructor for the newly formed ISAF. After the fall of Stonehenge, she was posted to a frontline squadron of F/A-18 Hornets as ISAF losses mounted.
Assigned to provide top cover for the retreating ISAF forces, she was to down a further six F-15C Eagles, four Tornado GR4's and nine AH-64A Apache's.
Her squadron was later sent to attack Stonehenge, shortly before the fall of Rigley airbase to the Erusian's. They were intercepted by the Yellow squadron and forced to abort the mission when the Yellow squadron bounced and downed seven of their fighters, leaving only five left. (ISAF military strategists at the time, believed that a minimum of eight fighters would be needed to put Stonehenge out of commission. It wasn't until the defection of the Stonehenge engineers that this fallacy was proven to be wrong.)
Captain Alice Rachel was pulled into a dogfight with Yellow 4. Pulling her plane into a tight circle, she was forced to turn into Yellow 5's sights as she turned to avoid a collision with another member of her squadron. Yellow 5, a Lieutenant Clarke Gray, fired his cannon and downed her aircraft. She sucessfully ejected from her aircraft and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp. After the war, she co-wrote the best-selling book Battling Yellows, a biography of Mobius One's career during the Stonehenge conflict.
Captain Alice Rachel is described as being difficult to work with and prone to diva tendencies. She has short, red hair, blue eyes and is 5 foot, two inches high.
