Special Editions
Gladius "Valiant"
 |
Created as part of the Masters of Flight series in conjunction with the flight-sim Arena Commander, it pays tribute to famed defense pilot Condi Hillard for being the first Human on record to defeat a Vanduul in combat. This Gladius comes equipped with a specialized dogfighting focused loadout and a custom special edition livery honoring her iconic ship.[2]
The Valiant boasts a new array of weaponry over the standard Gladius, giving it an edge over Vanduul attackers in longer engagements. The ballistic Scorpion GT-215 Gatling is removed in favour of a CF-337 Panther Repeater on the nose and the two repeaters on the wings are replaced with two Omnisky IX Cannons. The four Ignite II missiles are replaced with eight Pioneer I missiles and the pair of Arrester III are replaced with Viper III missiles. [3] |
