| - The Futuro Canal, known in the Sapin language as Canal Futuro, was captured early in the war by the Belkan Army and used as a major transport route in the Ustio front. The Osean Federation, preparing for the emancipation of the southern countries from Belka, devised a plan to expand their combat capability involving the Osean Navy's 3rd Fleet. Osea's plan, dubbed "Offensive Campaign No. 4101", was preceded by a supportive Ustio mission to provide an opportunity for the 3rd Fleet to enter the Belkan War. On 20 April of 1995, the mercenary Galm Team was sent on a false "reconnaissance mission" in the contested Area B7R in the Ustio-Belka border to distract the Belkan Army from the fleet's activities. Operation Choker One was a success, and the fleets successfully infiltrated Belkan territory during the skirmish at B7R. In addition to the fleet's entry to the war, the battle in B7R unexpectedly ended with the destruction of an elite Belkan Air Force unit dispatched to the border. The incident involving the squadron was covered up by Belkan military commanders, who claimed that Galm had been driven out of the border by the fallen squadron.
