Introduction
"FRONT LINE" AIR POWER DIRECTORY
September 20, 2007
During the previous "Continental War", military forces of all nations created insignia that became symbols of pride and valor. Although merely a piece of material, each badge tells a story and encompasses the history of all the men and women who wear it proudly.
ISAF
TOP ROW
Official badges used by the ISAF (Independent State Allied Forces). Commonly known as "Arrowhead" or "Three Arrowheads".

These are the official badges used by the ISAF AIRFORCE, NAVY and ARMY. The coloring of the badge designates which branch the wearer belongs to.
BOTTOM ROW
"MOBIUS"- No further information.
Erusea
TOP ROW
Various badges and insignia used by the Erusean forces.
CENTER ROW

Trivia
- On the Japanese article, the Erusian [sic] Army Badge description included a note that "Mechazukin" was a popular character on Erusean armored division patches. The Mechazukin Corps was the antagonist faction in Namco's Sky Kid video game.
- The bottom of the cover of the magazine reads "118 Squadron, Royal Air Force". "118" is the number of Mobius Squadron. This could imply that the squadron is based from a country with a monarchy.
