Background:
The 32nd TFS Wizard were a key front line Osean Fighter Squadron, which commonly fought over The Round Table. They had soon became known as the Osean "All Stars of the Round Table". As the war continued the entire Wizard Squadron became less and less supportive of the war and their orders. After the incident which occurred at the Waldreich Mountains on June 6th, 1995, the Wizard Squadron went missing in action.

They joined the group known as "A World With No Boundaries". The Wizard Squadron's flight leader is believed to have founded "A World With No Boundaries" along side the alleged head director Anton Kupchenko and Anthony Palmer.

The Wizard Squadron later reappeared over Air Space B7R, the Round Table, during the allied 'Operation Thunderbolt'. They engaged the Ustian 66th AFU Galm as they were en route to destroy the rebellion's main force at Avalon Dam. The engagement was fierce, but resulted in the Wizard Squadron being shot down.
