Sachana Air Force Base
From Electrosphere
Sachana Air Force Base is featured in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception. The Aurelian Sachana AFB is surrounded by forested rolling hills that make up the Kalana Steppes. Two rivers twist through the region and had a "hand" in shaping the region to what we see today. Sachana Air Base is Aurelia's largest Air Base.
[edit] Leasath - Aurelia War
Due to it's location, it became a primary target of the invasion, seeing as sorties from that Air Force Base have a large reach into both Aurelia and Leasath. The Airbase was taken by Leasath in early 2020, at the start of the Leasath-Aurelia war. The Leasath Military placed their elite Skylla Anti-Aircraft Unit at Sachana Air Base, in order to hold the base.
In late 2020, in the midst of the Aurelian counter-attack, the base was to be retaken by the Aurelian Military. Realizing the intensity of the air base's defense and the importance of stealth, Gryphus 1 was selected for the mission. Gryphus 1 launched in the middle of the night and began to infiltrate Sachana's defense net. Once he infiltrated, Gryphus 1 attacked the air base, catching Leasath aircraft on the ground. Sachana Air Force Base's lights all came on at once in an attempt to spot Gryphus 1. The elite Skylla Anti-Aircraft Unit attempted to repulse the Aurelian attack, but was unsuccessful, resulting in the recapturing of the Air Force Base.
