The Angel is a purpose-built fighter, designed as an alternative to the popular Hades series of combat planes. The Valkyrie Mk-II base was selected for its smaller profile and impressive forward gun, which allows Angel pilots to deal with enemy craft from safely outside the range of return fire. The Angel's main gun is capable of delivering considerable firepower, while its ability to come to a virtual stop gives it an unparalleled turning speed, making it one of the top fighter planes in the sky.
