A World With No Boundaries

Lore & Background

A World With No Boundaries was born from the bitter ashes of defeat. Disillusioned Belkan officers and soldiers, unable to stomach the humiliating terms of the Belkan War's end, turned their backs on their shattered nation. They saw national sovereignty not as a shield, but as a cage—the very cause of endless war. True peace, they believed, could only be achieved by erasing every line on the map. This radical vision attracted a motley crew: defectors from other nations, battle-hardened mercenaries, and even former enemies, all united by a shared dream of a borderless world. Their most infamous recruit was Larry Foulke—the former Ustian mercenary known as Solo Wing Pixy—who, haunted by the war's horrors, defected during the final battles to embrace their cause. The group's masterstroke was the theft of the V2, a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile system originally built by Belka. With the power to strike any target on the planet, they planned to force the world into submission: the threat of total annihilation would compel nations to surrender their sovereignty and merge into a single global state. Their plan was ultimately shattered by the Ustian Air Force's 6th Air Division—specifically the mercenary pilot Cipher and his former wingman Pixy, who turned against them in a climactic, gut-wrenching duel over the Avalon Dam. Though defeated, the ghost of A World With No Boundaries never truly faded. Their radical approach to global unity echoed through later conflicts, a cautionary tale of extremism and the fragility of peace. Their fingerprints can be seen in the machinations of the Grey Men and the fanaticism of Erusean radicals in the wars that followed.

In Their Own Story

The sky over Avalon Dam was a canvas of fire and smoke. Cipher's fighter screamed through the canyon, his radar locked onto a single target: the V2 launch site. Below, the dam's concrete walls trembled as the superweapon's engines began to ignite. Then, a familiar voice crackled over the radio—calm, almost serene. 'Yo, buddy. Still alive?' It was Pixy. But this was not the same man who had flown beside him through the Belkan War. This was a convert, a believer in a world without borders. 'You and I are the same,' Pixy continued, his tone chilling. 'We fight for something. But you fight for a country. I fight for a world.' Cipher tightened his grip on the controls. There was no time for words. Only the duel that would decide the fate of everything.

Reader's Guide

A World With No Boundaries serves as the primary antagonist faction in the later stages of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. Their objective is simple and terrifying: launch the V2 superweapon to force the world's nations into a single, borderless state. Players will face waves of AWWNB fighters in the final missions, culminating in a one-on-one duel with their former wingman, Pixy, over the Avalon Dam. To survive, rely on high-G turns and missile evasion; Pixy's aircraft is agile and his aim is deadly. The V2 launch sequence is timed, so prioritize destroying the control towers and support units before engaging Pixy directly. The battle is as much emotional as it is tactical—expect a fight that tests both your skills and your resolve.
