Their team is only mentioned once by name throughout the entirety Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation's campaign, and due to this, their other contributions to the war are currently unknown.[2]
History
Nazca Team participated in the battle of the Moloch Desert, where they, alongside Disco Team, were tasked with escorting the electronic support aircraft Snake Pit.[1]
Whilst escorting Snake Pit, allied aircraft sustained substantial losses. This prompted for both Snake Pit and the squadron to request support from Garuda Team. Once Garuda arrived to assist in the escort, the morale of the pilots seemed to have increased; one pilot even sounded relieved at how the Emmerian aces came to their aid.[1] With the help of Garuda Team, the squadron successfully completed their operation.[1]
