The GTDr Amazon Advanced Model VII, better known as the GTDr Amazon Advanced, was an unmanned combat drone used for training purposes by the Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) and, after 2345, the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance (GTVA). Along with the GTDr Amazon, it was eventually dropped from use and replaced by a virtual counterpart in the GTVA's Training Simulator Modules.

The Amazon Advanced bears a striking resemblance to the GTFr Chronos.

Description:

The GTDr Amazon Advanced

FS1 Tech Room Description

The Advanced Amazon is a larger drone, used by the GTA for subsystem and large target training. They are unmanned and inexpensive.

FS2 Tech Room Description

The GTDr Amazon Advanced Model VII was an unmanned combat drone used for advanced flight combat training. It was larger, smarter, and more heavily armored than the basic Amazon drone. As with the basic Amazon, these are now encountered only in the virtual battlefields of the TSM training module series. The Model VII is used to simulate assaults on enemy capital ships, training fighter and bomber pilots to target turrets and ship subsystems. Command has found that virtual training against Model VIIs increases the survival rate of pilots by 37% when attacking capital ships.

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.

Mostly cannon fodder, with half the hitpoints of its lookalike, the GTFr Chronos, and also turretless. In FreeSpace 2, where there's no longer a Chronos, unmodded missions often use the GTDr Amazon Advanced as a Chronos replacement to haul TAC 1 cargo containers.

Oddly never used in FS2 proper - even the Operation Templar campaign and the bonus missions don't use it. The training mission detailing targeting subsystems on an enemy ship uses a Triton instead.
