Banned because I will post one more thing before hitting the sack... Alone... *Sigh*
Got all this from a site:
The storyline of Ace Combat Zero contains many allusions to the Bible, Norse mythology, and the Arthurian legends.
The Galm Team is the 6th Air Division 66th Air Force Unit. According to most interpretations, 666 is the Number of the Beast, an important figure in Revelation, the last book of the Bible. Also, Cipher's name is a partial homonym of Lucifer, one of the names of the Devil, fitting his late-game moniker "the Demon Lord".
"Galm" is a mistranslation of "Garm", which is the name of a powerful demon hound in the Norse mythology that guards Hell. One of the Norse gods, Tyr, is one-handed, having lost his right hand, just like Pixy lost the right wing of his plane. In Ragnarök, the viking end of the world myth, Garm and Tyr battle and kill each other, paralleling Cipher and Pixy's final battle (although Pixy survives being shot down and Cipher simply disappears). Lastly, Galm's deployment against XB-0 Hresvelgr (itself a reference to the Norse mythological giant Hræsvelgr) and Espada Squadron in mission 15 is codenamed "Operation Valkyrie", after the valkyries, female warrior companions of the Norse god Odin. For this mission, Cipher is decorated with the Ragnarok medal.
Airspace B7R, over which many engagements take place, is nicknamed "the Round Table" by the Belkans, meaning that all pilots are on the equal footing there, with no ranks to hinder them, like the vassal knights of the legendary King Arthur. The aces who distinguish themselves over the Round Table are therefore respectfully called "Knights of the Round Table". The super weapon Excalibur is a reference to Arthur's sword by the same name, which he acquired by pulling it out of a stone (according to some legends). In a later mission, an Ustio pilot refers to Cipher as "the guy who pulled out Tauberg's sword". The Hydrian Line, Belkan southern defense line, is a reference to Hadrian's Wall, erected by the Roman Emperor Hadrian to protect the Roman-occupied southern Britain from northern tribes and still intact during Arthur's time. Anthony Palmer and Joshua Bristow owe their nicknames (Sir Bedivere and Sir Lucan, respectively) to the two knights of Arthur's Round Table who carried the mortally wounded king to the lake, where he could be transported to the mythical island of Avalon. The line "The sleeping King in Avalon" refers to Arthur sleeping on Avalon, waiting for the day he will be needed to rule Britain again. Finally, the ADFX-02 Morgan plane may refer to Morgan le Fay, a sorceress who was supposed to heal and protect Arthur on Avalon.
