Apsu-Hek
From FreeSpace Wiki
The Apsu-Hek was a creature that once inhabited the deserts of Vasuda Prime, the Vasudan homeworld. It can be assumed that the Apus-Hek became extinct following the Lucifer's orbital bombardment of Vasuda Prime in 2335.
During the Reconstruction era, the Apsu-Hek became an emblem of the Vasudan diaspora, and inspired the design of the GVF Tauret fighter.
