The original GTCv Bellerophon.
The GTCv Bellerophon, as seen in Blue Planet: War in Heaven.

Description:

Default Tech Room Description

The GTCv Bellerophon is the latest corvette design produced by the GTVA. Mounting three very powerful long-range beams in a forward configuration, the Bellerophon is designed specifically to engage Shivan craft at range and inflict maximal damage before coming in to weapons range of its target. The Trinity-class main cannons are derivatives of Mesonic technology, extremely powerful but so power-hungry that plasma must be vented directly from the main reactors to fire. The Bellerophon is more heavily armored than its lighter cousin, the Chimera.

BP:AoA Tech Room Description

The next generation of Alliance corvettes is the heavy Bellerophon class. Her abilities are similar to that of the lighter Chimera class, but more reactor power has been diverted towards weapons systems to provide an increase in firepower. The result is a slower-propulsed but better-armed variant of the Chimera chassis, with new hull plating taking advantage of breakthroughs in armour research.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


This corvette can vaporize almost anything short of UEFg Karuna in a single salvo. It's more vulnerable to being attacked than the Deimos or Diomedes but it also presents one of the most dire threats to UEF warships in War in Heaven. UEF Uriels are among the most effective counters to these ships.


Very powerful and much more durable compared to its cousin, the GTCv Chimera, but sort of like the comment above, the placement and lower amount of its defense turrets leads to unable to put up an anti-fighter screen effective as the Chimera. Still powerful, but this craft can be quickly overwelmed if not there isn't tight enough fighter support, or other larger ships protecting it, as witnesses in one mission of War in Heaven.
