Blue Planet Tech Room Description
Fresh from the drawing board, the advanced GTF Nyx is one of the newest GTVA heavy fighters. It was commissioned in 2385 as a response to increasing fighter losses to superior UEF fighter designs. A dedicated gunship killer, with heavy armour and firepower, this fighter has become the bane of many a UEF pilot. It marries the Erinyes' eight gun banks with the agility and versatility of the Perseus interceptor, producing a sterling design that has become a pilot favorite. Extraordinary cost, however, has slowed its planned deployment.

Veteran Comments
Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
If anybody ever had anything bad to say about the GTVA's earlier heavy fighters, they will fall silent upon seeing and flying this ship. Not only is it agile and durable enough to handle most fighters, it also has the speed, firepower and weapons compatibility necessary to fly as an interceptor or heavy missile boat. As always, the presence of eight gun banks means that attempting to mount dual Kaysers is not exactly the best idea in the world.
