	{{Comment\|		{{Comment\|It would be a disservice to the Mara to say it's just a Herc II with the speed and maneuverability of the Perseus. But that's the Mara in a nutshell.
	'~~'Easily one~~ of the ~~best fighters, if not the best~~. ~~A simple joy to fly. Only weak point is the 4 gun mounts, but even then~~ the ~~other stats are so ridiculous you can wreak havoc~~.''


	~~''Superior~~ to the ~~Shivan original [[SF Mara\|Mara]]~~, ~~just as Snipes says~~.''		Easily one of the best fighters, if not the best. A simple joy to fly. Only weak point is the 4 gun mounts, but even then the other stats are so ridiculous you can wreak havoc.


	~~''As odd as it sounds, [[Into~~ the ~~Lion's Den]]~~ is ~~actually somewhat unkind~~ to the ~~Terran Mara~~, ~~as you spend most~~ of ~~your time scrambling between widely spaced targets~~ and don't really get the chance to stop and dogfight it much. Still, as can be seen from the above commentary, even a tiny taste of the SF Mara (Terrans) capabilities is enough to make most people fall in love.''		The one disadvantage of the Mara is the fairly large target profile it presents to the enemy, but its combination of maneouverability, firepower and durability easily makes up for this.


	~~''The Mara is a dream come true~~ for ~~any GTVA pilot. Not only is it very agile, it has a large afterburner capacity and cavernous missile banks. This, coupled with a massive reactor core that generates and recharges enough power to fire~~ [[~~GTW UD-8 Kayser\|Kaysers]] like [[GTW Subach HL-7\|Subachs~~]], ~~makes~~ the Mara superior to ~~any other GTVA fighter in almost every, if not every, respect~~. ~~To get an idea~~ of ~~how big the Mara's banks are, here are some~~ statistics~~: It can hold 42 [[GTM Harpoon\|Harpoon]]s~~ in ~~'''each''' of its two missile banks. That equates to 84~~ [[~~GTM Tornado~~\|~~Tornados]], or 13 [[GTM Trebuchet\|Trebuchets]~~]~~, '''per bank'''. Not even the [[GVF Tauret~~]~~] can compare to~~ that~~. As a base point of comparison,~~ the ~~Tauret has a missile capacity of 200. The~~ Terran ~~Mara has 210. The heavy bombers have 240. But, the~~ Mara is ~~fastest of all high-missile capacity craft,~~ and ~~able to swiftly deal a lot of damage with 4 UD-8 Kaysers~~.''		In the briefing for [[Into the Lion's Den]], Snipes claims that the Terran Mara is superior to the original Mara. He is right; a comparison of its statistics in the tables versus the original [[SF Mara\|Mara]] shows that the Terran Mara is clearly superior with regards to hull and shield integrity as well as maximum afterburner velocity.


	''The Mara's biggest weakness is that it is only compatible with the following the Subach HL-7 and the Kayser. Nevertheless, this being the most serious weakness for this fighter, it doesn't really do much to it, since the Kayser is widely considered to be the best weapon in the game. Plus, even if you can't carry the Maxim to disarm capships from afar, the heavy shielding and hull of the Terran Mara can allow you to get up close to turrets in order to knock them out and not take a lot of damage to yourself while doing it (though using Trebuchets is a better idea, since there isn't as much risk involved). Needless to say, this is the ship that trades in Primary weapon compatibility for high energy capacity/recharge rate, even a higher secondary payload, higher shielding and hull than the original Mara, while retaining its well-known maneuverability. Even though in the Main Campaign you fly it only once, it's a treat.''}}		As odd as it sounds, Into the Lion's Den is actually somewhat unkind to the Terran Mara, as you spend most of your time scrambling between widely spaced targets and don't really get the chance to stop and dogfight it much. Still, as can be seen from the above commentary, even a tiny taste of the SF Mara (Terrans) capabilities is enough to make most people fall in love.

	If I were going to incapacitate a ship and steal it, this would be the one. This ship is unmatched as being what some might call the "perfect ship," though I would disagree with that. The fact that it has low weapons compatibility and few gun mounts makes it a poor choice for those who want to be able to have all of their favorite weapons available to them. The lack of gun mounts also kills it a little bit, but does not stop most experienced players from shredding their enemies to little bite-sized pieces.
