-The '''SF ''Dragon''''' is one of the most rarely seen of Shivan fighters. The Dragon is armed with five primary cannons, as well as a low-capacity secondary bank. Despite the small number of missiles it can carry it is very fast and maneuverable, as well as small, making it a very powerful adversary of any GTVA fighter. However the Shivans make limited use of the Dragon, deploying them in small numbers in most cases.  But even one wing can cause serious trouble for any GTVA force.

-The first Shivan fighter to have ever been captured by the Terrans and the Vasudans was a Dragon class designated [[Arjuna 1]]. Through the capture of this Shivan fighter, the joint Terran-Vasudan forces learned much about Shivan technology, especially fighter systems. Arjuna 1 was later used in a high-risk reconnaissance mission, shortly before the [[Destruction of Vasuda Prime]].

 ''If you manage to avoid attracting the attention of a Dragon you can kill it in one shot with a Phoenix V. Get behind one at a distance of about 500m and fire. It will take the fighter a few seconds to realize whats going and will explode nicely upon impact. I have a 60% success rate with this strategy at medium difficulty.''
-''The Dragon is probably the most lethal hostile fighter you will ever encounter throughout the retail campaign. Although it can easily be killed and has a relatively smaller ammo capacity than most fighters, its immense manuverability is most annoying. It will take practice to be able to hit it properly, as it can spin around like a lighting-quick mosquito, effortlessly evading primary and secondary shots. I would recommend that you try to be as close as possible to a Dragon (though not to close as not to frag yourself with your own weapons), then fire. Attacking from a distance will only cause it to spin about and start the frustrating cycle of a long dogfight.}}

−	''The best, but a dangerous way to hit a Dragon with a slow, well-shielded fighter is to work like a 360-degree cannon. Slow down almost to a halt, use banking in the same direction to increase maneuverability. In this way, you can get a few of them in most heavier fighters and lighter bombers. Trying that against two wings of them when alone is suicide though...''}}	+	''The best, but a dangerous way to hit a Dragon with a slow, well-shielded fighter is to work like a 360-degree cannon.
