Lieutenant Sonea Glan: The refugee's revenge.
Lieutenant Sonea Glan's military career began on the 20/9/2004 when she officially joined the North Point Air Force. Although she had applied to join the air force sooner, her status as a refugee from the country of Salchion meant that it wasn't until the 3/10/2004 that she was finally given clearance to begin flight training.
In training she proved to be an exceptional pilot and was recommended for fighters. After passing her fighter pilot training, she was posted to a squadron of Mig 21 Fishbeds, flying aerial defence duties. On the 11/12/2004 she finally obtained her first aerial victory.
She was flying a standard combat air patrol when she spotted a badly damaged F-15E Eagle limping home below her. Diving hard, she fired an R-73 missile into the crippled fighter and brought it down. The crew, pilot Lieutenant Darrien McGonal and navigator Lieutenant Faith Connel sucessfully ejected and were captured by ISAF ground forces. They would later admit to being damaged by ground fire from their target and losing their radar capabilities. Sonea had been fortunate enough to encounter them in such a state.
Over the course of the next few weeks, Sonea was to down a further two Mirage III's, one F-5E Tiger II and two Mi-8 Hip's. Part of the reason for her success was the fact that she deliberately disobeyed standing orders and performed several unauthorised rhubarb raids against Erusian forces in the area of the Rigley Air Force Base, close to where her pre-war home had been. Despite repeated reprimands, she continued to fly these missions.
On the 28/11/2004, her squadron was re-equipped with Mig 29 Fulcrums. This proved to be fortunate, as three days later, Sonea was involved with the defence of the Comona Island Rocket Base, the single largest aerial confrontation of the conflict. Here she was to down a further two Tornado GR4's and one B-2 Spirit.
With the ISAF's invasion of the mainland now imminent, Sonea's squadron was assigned to flying rhubarb sorties against Erusian forces across the coast. The reasons for this were twofold. Firstly, to weaken Erusian forces in preparation for the ISAF's landings and secondly, to confuse the Erusian's as to where the landings would in fact take place. In this role, she was to down four Mig 31 Foxhounds, two Su-27 Flankers and the Erusian ace Renaldo Polikov in his F-16 Falcon.
On the 20/12/2004 she encountered Yellow 6, who was flying back from a sortie over the ISAF fleet. Sonea attempted to bounce Yellow 6 in the mistaken belief that Yellow 6 hadn't seen her. Yellow 6 twisted away just as Sonea fired her cannon. Twisting his aircraft around hard, Yellow 6 pulled his fighter up behind Sonea and fired an R-73 missile into her aircraft. She went down with her aircraft.
Shortly afterwards, her diary was discovered by ISAF. It revealed that she was in fact only sixteen when she joined the air force and used false documentation to be allowed to join. Further investigation revealed that she had been gang raped by a group of Erusian soldiers and she sought revenge in the air.
Lieutenant Sonea Glan is described as being a short girl, with a fierce determination and an aggressive temper. She had black hair and is described as having a narrow face and pale skin.
