The '''GTF Hercules Mark II''' was the advanced version of the original [[Great War]]-era [[GTF Hercules]]. It is advanced in almost all aspects of the original Hercules, except for primary firepower. This sacrifice had to be taken to save up more space for [[secondary weapon]]s.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Hercules Mark II is the next generation of Terran heavy assault fighter. Introduced during the Great War, the original Herc's balance of firepower and maneuverability made it the most versatile strike fighter in the fleet. Some military historians have claimed the Hercules won the Great War, citing its deployment in key battles near the end of the Shivan conflict. Implementing recent advances in fusion drive technology, the Mark II improves the assault fighter's speed and maneuverability without sacrificing loadout capacity.

The '''GTF Pegasus''' was one of the most advanced starfighters in the GTVA Navy. It was specifically designed for reconnaissance and stealth missions. This class of fighter is the hardest to hit of all Terran fighters, the fastest, but the most vulnerable. Its Vasudan appropriate is the [[GVF Ptah]].

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The Pegasus is used almost exclusively for reconnaissance missions. It's the fastest, most maneuverable ship in the Terran arsenal. The craft's contours and hull materials were carefully designed to minimize its profile to detection sensors. It is woefully armored and packs only minimal weaponry, making it a death box in a firefight. Pegasus pilots are a special breed of daredevils who pride themselves on getting into and out of situations that would be the death of other pilots, all without firing a shot.

===Veteran Comments===
''Pegasus - a stealth fighter. It's available for you only once or twice in the game, so most players won't fly it.''

''Besides that, it's a very nice fighter to pilot. It has only one gun mount, and a small secondary bank, but it's advantages are more than enough for this. It's very maneuverable, so flying it is a dream, and it's invisible to radars. That means nobody can target you (unless there's enemy AWACS nearby), warheads immidiately loose lock on you, while enemy fighters and capship's turrets can only threat you if they see you. But even this isn't easy, because it's color and shape make it hard to see on distances beyond 500 metres.''

''Ideal reconnessance fighter, if used properly can be a really lethal weapon. Just imagine a wing of Pegasus, TAGing everything in sight, while remaining undetected...'''
