The crowning achievement of the BLADE program this massive fighter could tear thru Grand Alliance fleets with terrifying ease. Unlike previous Golden Hegemony fighters this one was made to a massive capital ship size. It could easily go toe to toe with a Viggen in Typhoon armour. Anything lesser then this was not enough to withstand this brutish ships firepower.

This battle platform was piloted by a single individual be they human clone trooper or super clone trooper it mattered not. The destructive power of this mech could more then make up for any shortfall in pilot experience. The defensive powers were just as impressive as the offensive ones. Wrapped in thick armouring and shields the flanks were also protected by anti-projectile launchers as found on the Katana. With multiple reloads it was extremely hard to oversaturate this system. Also the ERA armour was layered in multiple. This meant that more then one concentrated assault to any area of the craft was needed to even damage the armour.

The weapons were nothing less then the heaviest most powerful weapons that could be made by the Golden Hemogeny. The entire arsenals of missile types were all packed on to this fighter. The beam and mass drivers were the heaviest that could be found on anything the Golden Hegemony could field.

Despite its extremely heavy fire power and shielding it suffered the same flaws as the Viggen mainly its flying brick like characteristics. To some extent this was a liability if the right tactics such as a nuclear mine field were applied. However it is proven in combat that it could just plough right thru any obstacle that got in its way. With decent production rates this vessel could prove to be the undoing of the Grand Alliance, now their Grand Arms allies were another story…
