	~~[[Image:Gtfatalanta~~.~~jpg\|thumb\|right\|650px\|~~TF~~-13~~ Kvasir]]		The '''TF ''Kvasir''''' is a fighter that emphasizes a powerful primary weapons package, strong shields and high maneuverability, at the expense of low hull integrity and secondary weapons carrying capacity.
	[[~~Image:~~GTF ~~Pandora.jpg\|thumb\|right\|650px\|GTF Pandora from~~ Earth Defense]]
			The TF Kvasir has been used in the following mods:
			* In [[Renegade Resurgence]], as the '''GTF ''Rapier'''''
			* In [[Blue Planet]], as the '''GTF ''Atalanta'''''
			* In [[Earth Defense]], as the '''GTF ''Pandora'''''

	The Kvasir is a StarCorp fighter based on the idea that heavy firepower, strong shielding and extreme maneuverability compensates for lack of armor. It is capable of flying a Space Superiority/Intercept role, but is a quick victim to shield leech weapons.

	The Atalanta is the first of the Threat Exigency Initiative's Wave 2 fighters, true next-generation strike craft with extraordinarily capabilities. Produced in record time by the Alliance's first wholly classified procurement and design process - plagued by rumors of intrigue and mysterious 'red assets' - the Atalanta is an elegant, minimalist design wholly devoted to murdering other strike craft with very nearly Shivan flight characteristics. The original specifications of the Atalanta called for a multirole interceptor and space superiority fighter. Due to the United Earth Federation's fighter corps' successes, this variant has been field-modified to enhance its capabilities in the space-superiority role. These fighters remain rare in the Terran theatre, but they are likely to become a mainstay of Alliance forces in the near future.

	The Pandora reconaissance fighter is effect of combined efforts of Terran and Vasudan scientists. Powered by Vasudan reactors in Terran construction, it allows this recon fighter to mount more advanced lasers onboard and have extremly tough shields that compensate very thin hull. While Agias class fighters are better suited for destroying subsystems and turrets on capital ships, Pandora is better suited for escort missions, intercepting bombers and warheads and obviously doing reconaissance deep in enemy space.

			In Norse mythology, Kvasir was a poet, born from the saliva of the Aesir and Vanir gods when they performed an ancient peace ritual of spitting into a common vessel. He was the wisest of all men and wandered the world, teaching and instructing, until he was slain by two dwarves, Fjalar and Galar, who were tired of studying and learning. Kvasir's blood was distilled in Odhrǫrir, and when it was mixed with honey, it formed mead, giving wisdom and poetic inspiration to those who consumed it.

	In Greek mythology, Atalanta (Αταλάντη) was an accomplished hunter. She was notable in slaying the [[Wikipedia:Calydonian Boar\|Calydonian Boar]], sent by Artemis as punishment for being forgotten in a king's rites to the gods. Atalanta was also notable for challenging potential suitors to a footrace for the honor of marrying her, which Melanion won with the help of Aphrodite.

	You can fly the Atalanta in the second half of [[Chanticleer]]. It is the best dogfighter by far against the more advanced UEF fighters, but the lack of a second missile bank and lack of Trebuchet support is a major minus. Recommended for those who prefer to get up close and personal.		You can fly the Atalanta in the second half of [[Chanticleer]].

	{{comment\| ''The [[Blue Planet]] Atalanta is essentially the [[GTF Ulysses]]'s spiritual successor. Insanely maneuverable for a Galactic Terran fighter, more so than the [[GTF Perseus]] or [[GTF Aurora]] it still has 6 guns, a small target profile, and as much missile space as a [[GTF Myrmidon]] albeit all in one bank. It is still too lightly armored to be survivable anywhere near anti-fighter defenses, particularly AAA beams. ~~The sole mission in which it's player controllable:~~ [[Aristeia]] demonstrates this accordingly. If you do have occasion to fly it, don't forget that it also possesses side thrust ability, excellent for strafing larger targets, pacing and taking down multiple enemy bombs, making tighter turns, and dodging enemy fire. When fighting them, several well placed [[Rapier]] bursts can and will take them down, but even the [[Javelin]] doesn't have the maneuverability to catch them in higher difficulties.''		{{comment\| ''The [[Blue Planet]] Atalanta is essentially the [[GTF Ulysses]]'s spiritual successor.
