Ace Combat Gladius is set in the Strangereal country of Romny in the direct aftermath of the Verusan War during an event known as the Romnyan Revolutionary Conflict. During which, Romnyan separatist extremists engaged in multiple skirmishes with Yuktobanian resulting in an internal war between insurgents and Yuktobanians to break out. Not wanting for the continued loss of Romnyan lives by Yuktobanian hands, extremist or not, Romny demanded the Yuktobanians leave, but Yuktobanian forces already had requested reinforcements.

Spurned on by major mobilization of mercenary and paramilitary groups already operating out of Romny, Gladius follows one particularly successful group of operators, Yvdenny Private Military Corporation, as they moved to secure the North of Romny against the incoming Yuktobanian reinforcements long enough for Romny to secure a diplomatic means of extraditing the Yuktobanian Eighteenth Armor Division.

Over the course of eighteen days of ferocious fighting in the steppes of Northern Romny, Yvdenny managed to secure a means for the diplomatic end of the conflict. In the wake of the war, Yvdenny grew in prominence while Romny maintained a largely contracted standing army to begin projecting power throughout its region.

Over two thousand vehicle kills were logged by the forces of Yvdenny's Gladius Armor Company, hundreds of ground personnel from Yvdenny and other PMC's operating in the region were killed as a result of the fighting, thousands more were injured if not wounded. Yuktobanian casualties number near nine hundred, but no official numbers were ever given.
