The SF Mara (Terrans)

The SF Mara was an advanced starfighter used by the Shivans during their invasion of the galaxy in 2367. It is known that the SF Mara was one of the fighter classes that were spotted and designated after the conclusion of the Great War. Terran operatives acquired four of these fighters and retrofitted them to Terran standards. Then, Special Operations Command launched a mission beneath the second Knossos device to recon the area.

Veteran Comments

Easily one of the best fighters, if not the best. A simple joy to fly. Only weak point is the 4 gun mounts, but even then the other stats are so rediculous you can wreak havoc.

Superior to the Shivan original Mara just like Snipes says.

Oh... My... God... This is THE BEST FIGHTER IN THE GAME. IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE, I WILL SEND A SQUADRON OF THEM TO BOMB YOUR HOUSE INTO DUST!

As odd as it sounds, Into the Lion's Den is actually somewhat unkind to the Terran Mara, as you spend most of your time scrambling between widely spaced targets and don't really get the chance to stop and dogfight it much. Still, as can be seen from the above commentary, even a tiny taste of the SF Mara (Terrans) capablities is enough to make most people fall in love.

Very fun. If the Mac version of FS2_open included FRED2, I would make a mission that would let people use the Mara's full capabilities.
