Metalion

Template:Fighter Infobox

The Metalion Space Fighter N322 is the player's ship in Nemesis 2.

Details

The super spatiotemporal fighter Metalion is the first space fighter equipped with the Hyperdrive System 11 psychic/Wreek power propulsion engine, which dramatically improves the ship's energy efficiency.

In preparation for the imminent Bacterian invasion, it's development was promoted following the super spatiotemporal fighter Vic Viper. It was developed by Dr. Venom, who was Director General of the Space Science Agency under the direction of Emperor Lars. It's first test flight was done in 6665 from Nerba Base No. 12, were the Hyperdrive System 11 was proven to be unstable.

As Venom et al. were exiled after a coup attempt, the final adjustemnts of the psychic/Wreek power propulsion device were left for the engineers of the Space Agency but advanced as expected and the ship was completed by the time of Venom's invasion.
