			''It may seem frustrating to use at the beginning with how much the [[MX-50]] and [[Fury]] suck to use, especially the latter due to the secondary bay positioning mentioned above, but the Apollo becomes perfectly serviceable with [[Interceptor]]s and [[Hornet]]s. Aspect-seeking missiles remove the problem of secondary placement.''

			===Name Origin===
			Son of [[Zeus]] and Leto, and twin brother to [[Artemis]], the Greek deity Apollo is among the most relevant ones in Aegean and italic mythology. The character of Apollo is linked to various forms of art, such as poetry, dance and music, as well as particular skills such as healing and archery. He is mostly known, however, for its ties to the Sun and the use of a golden chariot drawn by swans. Late in Ancient Greek history, Apollo as a deity was merged with the character of [[Helios]].

	The '''GTF ''Apollo''''' was the mainstay Terran fighter used during the [[Great War]]. It was the easiest fighter to use, so novice pilots found themselves first in the seat of the Apollo. After the development of the [[GTF Ulysses\|GTF ''Ulysses'']], the Apollo was destined to "collect dust" ([[FreeSpace Reference Bible]]).

	''~~Its secondary banks are badly placed~~ for the ~~use~~ of ~~Furies except at very short range~~.''		''Also, if you notice at how high the attrition rate is for the Valkyrie (especially if you don't have shields or access to the Banshee), put your wingmen in Apollo fighters and they will survive for at least half a minute to a minute longer. Almost clearly the "everyman" ship, wise usage of ETS will let the Apollo do any fighter-based role. Early on in FS1, with the [[ML-16]] Laser and no shields, the Apollo can have most of its energy on engines, making it surprisingly swift while not feeding much power to guns.''


	''~~If you look~~ at the ~~tables, you can also see that~~ the ~~Apollo turns faster than~~ the ~~Valkyrie, it does do barrel rolls at a slower rate~~.		''Its secondary banks are badly placed for the use of Furies except at very short range, as the missile racks are right near the edges of the ship's sides.''
