Gryphon

GRYPHON
Prototype heavy weapons fighter designed by Meridius Soldato at Zwei Base, and the Captain's personal starfighter until its destruction.

The Gryphon was one of Soldato's most unconventional designs. Completely eschewing speed or maneuverability, the Gryphon was a brute war machine, essentially an arsenal with a cockpit and engines, with thick armor and durable shields.

Deailed specifications on the Gryphon are not known, as there are only two engagements recorded wherein the ship engaged in combat. In the second engagement, it was destroyed by Count Heinrich Straeger's Phantom starfighter. While Soldato expressed regret at losing his ship, he has declined to re-build it, preferring to concentrate on the construction of a newer fighter.
