Gladius Valiant

Created as part of the ‘Masters of Flight’ series in conjunction with the flight-sim Arena Commander, the Valiant 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.. The Valiant boasts a new array of energy weaponry over the standard Gladius, giving it an edge over Vanduul attackers in longer engagements. A more varied missile set gives the Valiant the versatility to respond to any hostile threat

Condi Hillard
Condi Hillard On the day the Vanduul attacked Armitage, Condi Hillard was patrolling the sector in her personalized Gladius. Organizing local patrol groups, Hillard led a strike team to destroy the Vanduul threat before the outpost came under heavy attack. In recognition of Condi Hillard’s bravery and resourcefulness, a limited edition Gladius with a special tactical loadout has been issued that will proudly bear her legacy, codenamed the Gladius Valiant
