Summary
The Arwing is the personal super-high performance combat spacecraft used by members of the Star Fox Team. Despite numerous revisions and redesigns over the course of the team's history, the many models of Arwings have maintained the balance of speed, power and performance that they are credited for. The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is almost the symbol of their team. Developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., the Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers. By executing a barrel roll, (actually an aileron roll) the Arwing can also generate a electromagnetic shield which will deflect most optically based weapons, such as laser beams. The Arwings used by the Star Fox Team are much different from any production versions as they have been extensively modified with improved armor and advanced weapon systems, such as Hyper Laser Homing Bolts and Smart Bombs.
Powers and Stats
Tier: High 6-A
Name: Arwing
Origin: Star Fox
Age: Unknown
Classification: Jet plane
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Flight, Hyper Laser cannons, Homing Attack (With charged shots), Explosion Manipulation (With charged shots and Smart Bombs), Magnetism Manipulation (While rolling, an Arwing can create a localized magnetic field), Electricity Manipulation and Attack Reflection (While Barrel Rolling, the Arwing generates an electromagnetic shield that makes attacks bounce off Arwings while rolling and are reflected back to sender), Forcefield Creation (The G-Diffuser produces a forcefield that protects the ship from enemy fire), Heat Manipulation (Smart Bombs can evaporate Solar Prominences, which are arches of incandescent gasses, breaking them apart. Said gasses are higher than 9,000 degrees), Resistance to Radiation Manipulation and Magnetism Manipulation (Radiation and magnetism-based storms cause most ships in Sector Y to malfunction. Star Fox's Arwings are not affected by this), Gravity Manipulation (Comes equipped with an anti-gravity device), Heat Manipulation (Arwings can take up to 9,000 degrees, something that Slippy reaffirms. However, even if the temperature exceeds this, the ship's shields will protect it from this for a limited time)
Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level (Capable of obliterating Andross wielding the powers of the Krazoa Spirits, who are able to reconstruct Saurai's planet)
Speed: FTL (Capable of flying in and out a black hole and flying at warp speed to different planets in the entire Lylat System in seconds)
Durability: Multi-Continent level (Can withstand kilometric explosions head on and several devastating attacks from Andross with the power of the Krazoa Spirit. Capable of taking hits from the Gorgon's laser, which is capable of piercing a planet's crust in one shot, which would yield this much energy)
Range: Hundreds of meters with the cannons and the smart bombs
Standard Equipment:
- T&B-H1 Laser cannons with homing charged shots and plasma customization
- Smart Bomb launcher
Weaknesses: If the ailerons are damaged, the Arwing will start to lose altitude and the pilot will have a hard time maintaining it's aerial position
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Barrel Roll: A defense maneuver where the pilot performs an Aileron Roll, creating a shield for a brief second to deflect and reflect certain attacks and projectiles. It also be used as a method of attack, damaging enemies nearby and destroying large mother ships.
