Background:
This squadron was officially formed on September 26th, 2005 before the last battle of the Usean Continental War; The Battle of Megalith. The Squadron was operational through out the entire war and had completed every mission with outstanding results. The ISAF's Ace of Aces, Mobius One, was a part of the unit since their first mission on September 18th, 2004. Due to his amazing accomplishments and the noteable actions of the squadron he was embedded in, they were offically called the "Mobius Squadron" by ISAF GHQ. Mobius One's callsign had become the name of the entire squadron because of his actions.

After the Usean War, the Mobius Squadron was ordered to patrol the unstable Provisonal Erusea in order to discourage any resistance from extremists or rouge Erusian Soilders. However, conflict did break out once again and the ISAF sent Mobius One, by himself, into combat. The new Erusian threat was neutralized.

The Independent State Allied Force's Top Ace. His aircraft of choice is the Raptor.

On the first mission Mobius One single handedly shot down Six Bear Bombers, along with many of their escorts at New Field Island. After that Mobius One continued to preform unbelievably well in combat operations after wards.

He is also a credited for the destruction of the Erusian Super Weapons Stonehenge and Megalith. He also is the first pilot to shoot down a member of the world renowned and feared Erusian Ace Pilot Unit known as "The Yellow Squadron". By the end of the war he had destroyed no fewer than six members of Erusea's feared Yellow Squadron, effectively disbanding the unit.

He was a key pilot in accomplishing such Operations as:
Operation Rough Seas: The Attack and Sinking of the "Invincible" Aegir Fleet.
Operation Countdown: The launch of a key ISAF Satellite during the largest Air Battle since World War Two, believed to involve 100+ Aircraft.
Operation Bunkershot: An ISAF Amphibous landing on the southern coast, allowing them to begin to retake the continent.
Operation Stone Crusher: The destruction of the Super Weapon Stonehenge.
Operation Fire Fly: The Emancipation of San Salvacion.
Operation Autumn Thunder: The Capture of the Erusian Capital City, Farbanti and the end of the war.
Operation Judgment Day: The destruction of Megalith and the true end of the war.

Mobius One was a part of the 118th TFW through out the entire war, but during Operation Judgment Day the entire Squadron official had adopted his call sign and became "The Mobius Squadron". While this officially the "Mobius" Squadron's last mission. It is the first under the name of Mobius.

In 2006, he returned to Erusea to defeat the last of Erusian Extremists calling themselves "Free Erusea". Only Mobius One and AWACS Sky Eye were sent and together they effectively crushed the resistance putting a halt to their operations. After the Usean Continental War it was discovered that Mobius One's combat ability rivaled that of an entire ISAF Squadron.

During the last battle, Mobius One was engaged by multiple X-02 Switchblades, said to be the best fighter in the world at the time. Despite this he managed to destroy them and RTB.

Since then, he has disappeared somewhere in the USEA. Many believe that if the country is ever in danger once again, Mobius One will rise from the shadows and go into battle again.

Mobius One is most likely, one of the most famous pilots in the world.

AWACS Sky Eye commonly worked with the 118TFW since their first official mission. Since then he had supported them directly for every operation they had ever taken on.

In 2006, he and Mobius One had been dispatched to destroy a new Erusean movement/group, known as "Free Erusea". Since then AWACS Sky Eye has continued ISAF Operations.
