{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''GTDr ''Amazon Model IV''''', better known as the '''GTDr ''Amazon''''', and its larger brother, the [[GTDr Amazon Advanced|GTDr ''Amazon Advanced'']], are unmanned spacecraft used mainly for training purposes by the GTA. They were later dropped from use and replaced by virtual counterparts.

==Description:==
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtdramazon-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTDr Amazon}}
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The Amazon is a simple drone, used for basic combat training. They are unmanned, and carry only the weakest of weaponry.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTDr Amazon Model IV unmanned combat drone was once used for live basic combat training. They weren't tough, they weren't smart, and they weren't well armored. But they blew up very nicely. These drones are no longer manufactured, but their virtual counterparts are used in the Training Simulator Module (TSM) series. The Model IV is every fighter pilot's first TSM opponent, the first mobile foe he faces during simulator courses. If you can't handle an Amazon during training, it's time to reconsider your choice of careers.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Name Origin===
In Greek mythology, Amazons were legendary female warriors. According to myth, the Amazons formed an independent kingdom near the Black Sea, headed by a queen named Hippolyta. Archeological findings suggest that an all-female warrior clan may have existed.

{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtdramazone.jpg]]|caption=The GTDr Amazon's infamous "SHOOT ME" stamp}}
{{Comment|''Cannon fodder, used in training, not much more to say. Armed with the [[GTW Training Laser|Training Laser]], these puppies are defenseless. It doesn't matter what gun you have, take these things out of their misery.''

It says "SHOOT ME" on the underside. Get to it, pilot.

Cannon fodder at its finest. It does its job of being a target and blowing up very well, but not much else.

A slowish, clumsy, bulky flying bullseye that is kind of sort of armed. Feel free to obey the sign on the bottom, it can't hurt you (much).

If you get killed by this.... Unistall freespace and or freespace2, and never look at the game again. you are a disgrace to us all.}}

GTB Athena

D-420: /* Veteran Comments */

{{FS12_Ships}}{{shipimage|image=[[Image:athena320x240.jpg]]|caption=The GTB Athena}}The '''GTB ''Athena''''' (dubbed the "Lightning Bomber") is a [[Terran]] light bomber introduced during the opening stages of the [[Great War]]. Although unable to carry the heavier anti-capital warheads, the ''Athena'' is the favored delivery vehicle for the anti-subsystem [[Stiletto]] missile, making it highly effective for surgical strikes.

Being the lightest bomber of all known Terran bombers, the ''Athena'' provided a reasonably effective deterrence to hostile fighters, and has on more than one occasion been mistaken for a fighter.

==Description:==

===FS1 Tech Room Description===
The smallest bomber in the fleet, the Athena has oftentimes been mistaken for a fighter. However, one should not be fooled by its small size. The Athena can carry light bombs, and most missiles. It also has the ability to dogfight well. Its strong shielding and hull make it the favored "Lightning Bomber" of the GTA.

===Developer Notes===
Excellent for hit-and-run bombing. Good speed for its size, with a high capacity afterburner reserve.

==Name origin==
In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of heroic endeavor, and the daughter of [[GTB Zeus|Zeus]]. Athena was also a companion, or simply helper, of many other Greek mythological heroes like Heracles. It is said that Athena was warlike, much like [[GTF Ares|Ares]], her half-brother.

{{Comment|
''I always wanted to love the Athena, but its lack of any serious anti-cap ship capablity made it a non-choice when going against anything bigger than a transport.'' 
 
''The Athena is the ultimate tool for a fighter pilot. But not a bomber pilot. It has higher speed than the Hercules, good maneuverability, and can haul an equal if not greater amount of ordnance. It has a thin target profile from the the sides and front-back. Its gun setup is the best for dogfighting or bomb interception ever seen in a FreeSpace game, more than compensating for its inability to carry the [[GTW Prometheus|Prometheus]] or [[GTW Banshee|Banshee]]. If you want to carry real bombs, though, you'll have to get a Medusa. The Athena also functions frighteningly well as a kind of heavy interceptor, with a full loadout of Phoenix Vs and good speed. 
 
''If it could carry the [[GTW Prometheus|Prometheus]] or the [[GTM Hornet|Hornet]], I would prefer it to the [[GTF Hercules]] as a heavy fighter, but the lack of these and any proper bombs means there's always a ship better than it for most missions. On the other hand prior to the more advanced ships and weapons it does make a good heavy complement to the [[GTF Apollo |Apollo]] and the [[GTF Valkyrie|Valkyrie]].'' 
''The Athena is probably one of the best ships in the whole FS universe. It's fast, maneuverable, hard to hit, has great primary weapon placement and can take a lot of punishment. It can't carry the big bombs, but then again, crippling strikes are its forte. Loaded with Stiletto and Fury missiles, it can quickly disarm and disable any ship, making it a easy prey for others. The only real downside to this jewel is its incompatibility with some of the more advanced weapons.'' 
''This is the ship I swear by. The speed, amount of maneuvering it has, shields, and amount of ordnance it can carry, along with its almost nil front/side profile. With the exception of speed, I view this ship as the ideal anti-bomber ship, largely due to its ability to pepper a bomber squadron down to almost nothing (mostly with Fury and Synaptic warheads), and then swoop in to finish the stragglers off. I single-handedly finished off the Hades with this ship, and prefer it highly over any Hercules variant, or the Zeus, with its far larger target profile, facts which plagued me for much of FS2.''

''As for my self I never knew the Athena was a bomber I just loaded it with furies and avengers
(never very fond of the flail) Seeing as furies can destroy just about anything it always a good idea to have them handy when your flying an Athena.
One of the best ways to use it is when you siphon all of the enrgey to it engines leaving the smallest amount possible for the shields and guns avengers dont use much energy so this is a stunningly usefull way to make an Athena more like a "lightning bomber". ''}}

GTD Hades

2012-03-23T22:26:04Z

D-420: /* Veteran Comments */

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''GTD ''Hades''''' was a warship of the class of the same name during and after the [[Great War]]. The ''Hades'' was an effort by [[Galactic Terran Intelligence|Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI)]] to utilize stolen Shivan technology and combine it with Terran technology. Disagreement from the side of the [[Galactic Terran Alliance|Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA)]] led to the [[Hades Rebellion]], during which the ''Hades'' was destroyed by two squadrons of GTA fighters and bombers and the GTC ''Orff''.

==Description:==
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtdhades-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTD Hades}}
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Nothing much is known about the GTD Hades. It seems to be the GTI's top project. We believe the goal of the project
is to recreate the SD Lucifer.

The GTD Hades should be considered a Class A threat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTD Hades was a fusion of Terran and Shivan military technologies. It was constructed by Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI), a rogue branch of the GTA. In 2335, GTI leaders sought to overthrow the provisional GTA government established in Delta Serpentis. After the defeat of the GTI and the destruction of the Hades, the GTA classified the details of this research at level Omega. There are rumors that the Alliance has attempted to reconstruct the Hades to learn more about the GTI's activities. These reports have yet to be confirmed by government sources.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Name origin===
In Greek mythology, Hades was the ruler of the Greek Underworld. Hades, along with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the universe, dividing the world among themselves. The Roman name for Hades is Pluto.

===Trivia===
In the FreeSpace 2 intro, a ship wreck on Deneb looks like the GTD ''Hades''.

{{Comment|''Has too many hitpoints. In [[Secrets Revealed]], standard practice is to hide in the "trench" halfway between fore and aft of this ship, and jam your keyboard's firing key down. I've found, however, that this is not as effective in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2|FreeSpace 2]]. The weakest point of the Hades is the horrible protection of its subsystems. An [[GTD Orion|Orion]], although it has 1/4 - 1/8 the armor, can win in a fight with a Hades simply because the Hades will be disabled and mostly disarmed within 30 seconds of the battle. I've seen an Orion take out a Hades with relative ease, although it took a while.''

''The Hades is pretty capable in FS2. I've seen it take on multiple Demons and Molochs at once and survive. But its antifighter armament is decidedly FS1-era. The Hades' effectiveness against Shivan ships often surprises people, but it is actually quite simple when one comes down to it: Shivan ships do not have slash beams, greatly decreasing their chances of damaging the Hades' subsystems.

''The Hades can be destroyed easily by an Orion because of its pathetic subsystem armor. Although its two BGreens would usually rip most destroyers to shreds, the fact that a single well-aimed Stiletto II can disable this behemoth makes them almost useless.''

''I find, that even though the scope of the Hades is mind boggling (especially the first time you actually fly over the whole thing, and before seeing things like the Colossus), it is fairly weak. In the FS1 mission where you are assigned the task of destroying the Hades, even though I had lost all of my wingmen, and it took me two hours, I found I was able to single-handedly destroy the ship, by disabling its underside cannons, engines, and sensors, and then just floating in the space below it... In an Athena. I actually found the squads of re-spawning Lokis more of a challenge, aside from the sheer amount of HP the Hades had.''

''I find the FS1 Hades to be a bit more difficult to destroy than the Hades in FS2. For some sick reason, in FS2, the Hades has only '''ONE''' engine subsystem ... and it's located at, of all places, the point where the destroyer's engines meet! You could fire an [[SGreen]] at that spot and the Hades will be disabled! Even ships smaller than itself have better subsystem defences!''

''With only 2 BGreens, the Hades has actually less firepower than the Orion (with 3 along with [[TerSlash]]es), and like the Orion, it can focus the two of them in one spot, making it fairly deadly. However, the Hades falls easily to flanking techniques.''

''Killing the Hades in FS1:ST may seem like a daunting task but in reality it is simply a matter of having your allies unload on it while you watch from about 10000 distance (im not sure what it distance system they use) wait till your allies die (on normal its immpossible for them to live) then hide in the trench and unload upon it yourself
considering I did it in 1 hour(with one integrety mind you) on hard mode (or whatever its called,(I havent looked in a long time)) the only real threat is the lokis that respawn.
Also to me it looks like a Collossus with a diffrent color scheme.''}}

considering I did it in 1 hour(with one integrety mind you) on hard mode (or whatever its called,(I havent looked in a long time)) the only real threat is the lokis that respawn.

GTD Hades

D-420: /* Veteran Comments */

{{FS12_Ships}}
The '''GTD ''Hades''''' was a warship of the class of the same name during and after the [[Great War]]. The ''Hades'' was an effort by [[Galactic Terran Intelligence|Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI)]] to utilize stolen Shivan technology and combine it with Terran technology. Disagreement from the side of the [[Galactic Terran Alliance|Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA)]] led to the [[Hades Rebellion]], during which the ''Hades'' was destroyed by two squadrons of GTA fighters and bombers and the GTC ''Orff''.

==Description:==
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Gtdhades-old.jpg]]|caption=The GTD Hades}}
===FS1 Tech Room Description===
Nothing much is known about the GTD Hades. It seems to be the GTI's top project. We believe the goal of the project
is to recreate the SD Lucifer.

The GTD Hades should be considered a Class A threat.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTD Hades was a fusion of Terran and Shivan military technologies. It was constructed by Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI), a rogue branch of the GTA. In 2335, GTI leaders sought to overthrow the provisional GTA government established in Delta Serpentis. After the defeat of the GTI and the destruction of the Hades, the GTA classified the details of this research at level Omega. There are rumors that the Alliance has attempted to reconstruct the Hades to learn more about the GTI's activities. These reports have yet to be confirmed by government sources.

===Developer Notes===
None

===Name origin===
In Greek mythology, Hades was the ruler of the Greek Underworld. Hades, along with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the universe, dividing the world among themselves. The Roman name for Hades is Pluto.

===Trivia===
In the FreeSpace 2 intro, a ship wreck on Deneb looks like the GTD ''Hades''.

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|''Has too many hitpoints. In [[Secrets Revealed]], standard practice is to hide in the "trench" halfway between fore and aft of this ship, and jam your keyboard's firing key down. I've found, however, that this is not as effective in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2|FreeSpace 2]]. The weakest point of the Hades is the horrible protection of its subsystems. An [[GTD Orion|Orion]], although it has 1/4 - 1/8 the armor, can win in a fight with a Hades simply because the Hades will be disabled and mostly disarmed within 30 seconds of the battle. I've seen an Orion take out a Hades with relative ease, although it took a while.''
