First encounter
World 7 · Level 91

A heavy swept-wing fighter with a rocket pod under each wing. The retreating Hegemony fleet sends it back at you first.

ARMAMENT

  1. 01Wing-pod rocketsA rocket pair from the wing pods during each strafing dive, plus rockets in formation volleys.

BEHAVIOUR

  1. 01Strafing diveBreaks formation to dive at your lane, firing on the way in, then returns to its slot. Contact with a diving ship damages you.
  2. 02Heavy fighterTougher than the light fighters around it, with a light shield.

TACTICAL

Sidestep the rocket pair, not the ship. Catch Marauders as they climb back to formation — lined-up rows make good VECTOR chains.

  2. 02Twin nacellesTwo main engine nacelles. The plumes brighten when it dives.

ORDNANCE

  1. 01Wing-pod rocketA compact rocket fired in pairs from the wing pods. Direct damage.
