Zoeitza Mircevski is a Syaran former pilot and flying ace of the Zemplen War.
An ethnic Makedonian, Mircevski joined the Commonality Air Force in 2001. She was trained on flying the Zephyr and assigned to the 18th Figther Squadron in 2002, which she was still serving with as a Captain when the Zemplen War broke out in 2008. Mircevski scored her first kill during the August Offensive when she downed a Ruvelkan AFASF-12 Drago Air Superiority Fighter. During Operation Aspis she took down another Drago but was shot down and suffered injuries to her back and right shoulder that kept her out of the cockpit until the Ruvelkan Winter Counter-Offensive. Returning to the fold, she downed another Drago in early January for her third kill. Assigned to the northern section of the front, Mircevski flew extensively in support of Operation Harpe, shooting down a AFASF-10 Donnola Air Superiority Fighter in June. During Operation Overshadow she downed an AFSF-8 Folivori, officially making her an ace. She was promoted to Major shortly afterwards.
During the winter of 2009-2010 Mircevski engaged in a number of dogfights while conducting combat air patrols, shooting down an EF 135 Draken in January 2010. She scored her seventh and final kill during Operation Homefront, downing an AFSF-9 Martora in early June. After the war Mircevski continued to serve until 2015 with the 27th Figther Squadron. Mircevski, a granddaughter of the last President of the Republic of Syara Krunislav Mircevski, is recognized as Syara's only female ace of the war.
