==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The Shaitan bomber is only slightly superior to our own bombers - it's shielding is better, but its capacity seems to be far worse. Perhaps the Shivans were so assured that they would only need one payload to destroy a target. 
We consider the Shaitan to be a Class C threat.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
Color me confused, but the Shaitan is faster and more manueverable than the Herc but carries considerably less firepower. Yet the Herc is a "heavy fighter" and the Shaitan is a "light bomber". To make classification matters worse, the Shaitan actually doesn't carry any bombs, just a mediocre missle load.

SF Basilisk

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The Basilisk seems to be a Shivan heavy attack fighter. It is not as maneuverable as other Shivan fighters, but it packs quite a punch, and it is very resistant to our weaponry. Most often they have been used in attacking our supply convoys and transports. 
Treat the Basilisk as a Class C threat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SF Basilisk is a Shivan heavy attack fighter. Slow but heavily armed and well-protected, the Basilisk targets slower-moving vessels, such as bombers, freighters, and gas miners. Their powerful lasers make them a danger to all such craft, so they must be engaged and destroyed as quickly as possible.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
When escorting craft smaller than a cruiser, priority should go to destroying attacking Basilisks before smaller Shivan fighters. If allowed to reach their target, a wing of Basilisks will make one's escort list shorter very quickly.

However, the Basilisk is both slow and ungainly. Between its lack of manueverability and an afterburner that the AI seems to never use, the Basilisk resembles a heavily shielded target drone (that you should nevertheless refrain from going head-to-head with).

SF Mara

{{shipimage|image=http://www.freespace2.com/images/ship_mara/smpic.jpg|caption=The SF Mara}}

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The SF Mara class of Shivan fighters was first encountered by the GTC Vigilant while patrolling the Gamma Draconis jump node in the Capella system. All other information concerning the Mara is classified level Psi.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Veteran Comments===
It would be a disservice to the Mara to say its just a Herc II with the speed and manueverability of the Perseus. But that's the Mara in a nutshell. In the one special ops mission in which you can fly it, it simply is a joy to have so much firepower (and shields/armor) on a craft that manueverable.

My favorite fighter in the game. Sure, you could the Erinyes has 8 gun banks to the Mara's 4, but the Mara has nearly twice the missile capacity and is significantly faster and more manueverable.

GTD Nereid

2006-02-24T13:37:40Z

67.170.67.92: Changed "surface" to "service"

==General==
*Class: [[GTD Orion]]
*In service: [[The Great War]], [[The Second Shivan Incursion]]
*Commander: Unknown
*First appeared: Never in-game, once in Exodus Command briefing
*Fate: Destroyed in 2367
*Fighter squadrons: Unknown

==Ship History==
Nothing is known about the GTD Nereid, apart from it collapsed the [[Epsilon Pegasi]]-[[Capella]] jump node to prevent the [[SJ Sathanas|Sathanas]] juggernauts from entering Terran-Vasudan space.

Speculations can be made that the Nereid was in active service during the Terran-Vasudan War and the Great War. We can suppose that such as the [[GTD Bastion]], the Nereid was not in active service during the [[The Second Shivan Incursion|Second Great War]].
