Translation Things

[coordination]

From blurbs/articles in magazines/on websites and whatever else!

(mostly Yzak profiles/stuff but considering his name shows up in like, almost every one of Dearka's profiles you'll probably see a lot of his stuff too as a result - but only sentences that actually talk about Yzak because lol)



Standard disclaimer, my translations aren't always the best as I'm pretty meager at it, so some parts will be translated, and some may more be me summarizing jists of things as I probably had a tough time putting something into the right words. But also hey I'm basically mostly doing this for myself anyway.

The order these links are in are my own personal preference, from articles/blurbs I like the best/find more in-depth or interesting to ones that are shorter and more standard. So if you're looking that way, enjoy! Otherwise, all translations can be found below in the comments. :)

Second Place Challenger
Biography / Born as a Coordinator to the Jule family in Cosmic Era 54. Nothing about his father was known, however his mother, Ezalia Jule, was also a Coordinator, and a very beautiful and vivacious woman. It seems as though Ezalia was part of the PLANT Supreme Council for as long as Yzak was old enough to remember. Yzak was good at both horseback riding and shooting from an early age. In addition, he was so skilled at chess that he won the Junior Cup in Martius City. On the other hand, it seems he was not blessed with a talent for painting or singing. However, it seems as though he learned a little about musical instruments. Over the course of his studies, Yzak became fascinated with folklore, and at the same time he enjoyed collecting amulets. Perhaps because he was born and raised a Coordinator, he looked down upon Naturals, influenced with this belief by those in power.

In Cosmic Era 69, Yzak entered the military academy in anticipation of the outbreak of war between PLANT and the Earth Alliance, whose relations had deteriorated. His performance was very good, 1st place in shooting, second place in mobile suit combat, knife fighting, information gathering, 3rd in explosives processing, and second place in overall performance. His performance at the academy was reflected with proof of being elite, which was called "red clothes," but it is said that he and Athrun Zala who was in the lead at he time, had some conflicts after that, and that Yzak always regarded him as a rival. After graduating from the academy, Yzak was assigned to the Vesalius as part of the Creuset Team alongside Nicol Amarfi, Dearka Elthman, and Rusty Mackenzie in addition to Athrun. The Creuset Team had a high success rate when it came to operations and was a highly regarded combat unit by upper management, to which Miguel Ayman, called the Magic Bullet of Dusk, belonged.

Mini Column: Yzak shot down a shuttle full of unarmed civilians with the Eighth Fleet while in pursuit of the Archangel, but when this incident was treated (in?) a game in later years, the ringleader of the incident became a different person. In addition, there was also an event where he meets his enemy, Kira Yamato, who apologized for his facial injury. (I have no idea what this is - perhaps something from a game?)

The Challenger Turned Warrior
January, Cosmic Era 71. Yzak, who was assigned to the Creuset Team, participated in the capture mission of the new prototype mobile suits belonging to the Earth Alliance, which had been transported to the neutral colony Heliopolis. Under the guidance of Commander Rau Le Creuset, Yzak's team successfully robbed the G units, becoming the pilot of Duel. However, the team did not only fail to take the Archangel and the Strike, but were forced to pursue them after the collapse of Heliopolis when an inquiry about the events was received. In the absence of the commander, Yzak and his three red-clothed comrades participated in the pursuit of the Archangel. However, the enemy's resistance was fierce, and the Archangel was once again lost in an encounter with the full strength of the 1st Fleet as well as a negotiation tactic using their diva, Lacus, as a hostage. In this fight, Yzak suffered a severe injury on his face. And though PLANT's technology can heal such scars without leaving any traces, Yzak intentionally keeps the scar and vows to take down the Archangel. However, during the Low Orbit Battle, he made the mistake of shooting down a shuttle carrying refugees who had tried to escape the battle, and thereafter participated in the pursuit of the Archangel many times, but made many mistakes and lost his comrades one after another.

May of the same year. Yzak, who participated in Operation Spit Break, also took part in the JOSH-A and Panama battles. During this battle, he witnessed the ugly fighting behavior of the ZAFT soldiers as well as the Earth Alliance, and began to question the war. Later, Yzak returned to space and was reunited with Dearka, who he had assume been lost, at Mendel, but he had been with the Three Ship Alliance. Dearka tells Yzak that after all of his experiences, he had decided to defect. This reunion was torn apart by the military's order to withdraw, but Yzak seemed to have understood Dearka's feelings.

September of the same year. Yzak, who was recognized for his achievements in battle thus far, was appointed as the commander of a newly established unit and formed the Jule Team. And although he was present for the Boaz defense, he participated in the second Yachin Due offense, and together with the Three Ship Alliance, prevented the Earth Force's nuclear missiles from hitting PLANT.

Mini Column: Perhaps it's because Yzak was always out on the front lines, but many of his opponents were big names. He has fought against the "Mightiest Warrior" Kira Yamato and the "Endymion Falcon" Mwu La Fllaga during his battles with the Archangel, as well as the "Glittering Cursed Star J" Jean Carry in the battle of Panama. After joining the council, he was engaged in heated "battles" with other councilors and leaders.

Jule Team
The Jule Team, which was formed around the time of the Boaz offensive, was a hastily created unit led by Yzak and consisting of new recruits who had just graduated from the academy and have never fought on the front lines. The initial number of members was around fifteen, and three ZAFT reds. This unit was stationed at the military headquarters at the behest of Ezalia Jule, a member of PLANT's Supreme Council, and was deployed to the rear, so its capabilities were apparently not well known. After the war, Yzak left ZAFT, but when he returned to the military, the team was reunited. The Jule Team was assigned the Voltaire as its flagship, and the Rousseau as its consort. The Jule Team has begun crushing Junius Seven which had begun to fall toward Earth, and thereafter prevented a direct armed invasion of PLANT by the Earth forces that occurred when the war resumed. They also damaged the Requiem, which deflected its target of PLANT's capital, Aprilius.

Dearka Elthman: A young man who roomed with Yzak at the Academy and on the Creuset Team. In the midst of their pursuit of the Archangel, he was captured by the enemy, and later defected to the Three Ship Alliance. After the war, when he returned to PLANT, he was demoted but became one of Yzak's subordinates.

Shiho Hahnenfuss: A ZAFT red girl who came from the research institute. She was involved in the development of the YFX-200, but was assigned to the Jule Team and fought in the second battle of Jachin Due. After the war, she returned to the research institute, but soon returned to the Jule Team.

Isaac Mau: A young soldier who joined the Jule Team at the same time as Shiho. He also participated in the second battle of Jachin Due. After the war, he was put in charge and served as an observer of the Martian, Ergnes Brahe, who came to Earth, under the orders of Chairman Durandal.

Jule Team: CE 71: Formed around the time of the Boaz offensive, and had many new recruits due to the lack of veteran pilots from the beginning of the war. There were a little over a dozen soliders, and they not only piloted GuAIZ units, but also the CGUE Deep-Arms, which was an experimental unit.

Jule Team: CE 73: Two years later, the Jule Team's skill had grown so large that the number of mobile suit pilots had increased to span two fleets. The GuAIZ-R were the main mobile suits, but the ZAKU Warrior and other state-of-the-art machines were also actively deployed.

The Challenger Who Found the Truth
March, Cosmic Era 72. The Junius Treaty was signed between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance. Around this time, Yzak was court-martialed for the shooting down of a shuttle with civilians on board and for desertion in the previous war, but was able to avoid execution due to the defense of Gilbert Durandal and others. After the ceasefire, he served for a while as a councilor on PLANT's temporary council, but soon stepped down. Later, as a commander for ZAFT, he once again led the Jule Team. The following year, another war broke out in the Earth's sphere. The Break The World incident broke out. The Jule Team, led by Yzak, tried their hardest to crush Junius Seven, but were unable to do so, and had to witness an unprecedented catastrophe. In the following interception battle with the Earth Alliance near the mainland of PLANT, he was given orders on board the aircraft carrier Godwana and survived the crisis. After that, he continued to fight in space against the Earth Alliance to protect PLANT.

Cosmic Era, Year 74. The true mastermind behind the war was revealed to be LOGOS. Yzak detected some disturbing movements from the Earth Alliance, which had been triggered by LOGOS, and ended up diverting their aim from the capital Aprilius, however failed to stop the Requiem, resulting in the massacre of six colony's worth of inhabitants. Witnessing this tragedy, Yzak fought to stop the Requiem from firing again. Thanks to their and Minerva's efforts, the Earth Alliance forces holed up in the Arzachel base were temporarily silenced. Later, Yzak also participated in the Messiah offensive, but not finding any cause for this war, he sided with the Orb Emirate allied forces with Lacus and the Three Ships Alliance and with the Jule Team, helped to destroy the genocidal weapons Requiem and Neo Genesis. After the war, he and Lacus Clyne, who returned to PLANT at the request of her home country, seem to have assumed important positions within their ranks. At that time, he was working as an escort for Lacus, hoping for the prosperity of PLANT and working with other countries to restore stability to the world. His later activities will be revealed in the future.

Photo: Yzak returned to the military, but after two wars, he became a politician himself and tried to build a bright future for PLANT.

Mini Column: Yzak had been fighting with the GAT-X102 that he stole from the Earth Alliance, but according to some accounts, the ZGMF-X10A that was taken by the Three Ship Alliance was being prepared for him. The unit was stolen by Kira, and he was defeated by Kira at JOSH-A without much resistance.
