Difference between revisions of "Gorgon"

''"Dang! DEPLOY IT NOW!!!"''

--Area 6 Commander

The Gorgon is [[Andross]]'s deadliest weapon yet. It is equipped with a huge hyper laser capable of piercing the crust of a planet in a single shot. It even has the capability to obliterate large ships, such as the [[Cornerian Cruiser|Cornerian Cruisers]] or the [[Great Fox]]. The satellite can defend itself from starfighters by firing a volley of armor piercing missiles. To swat an incoming fighter away from it, the Gorgon can use its three tentacles that extend from the satellite itself. In case there isn't any escort, it can deploy its own complement of fighters. It also posesses a Dimension Transport System that enables it to phase in and out of our reality, something the scientists have thought impossible, up until now. It is the last line of defence in [[Area 6]], before [[Venom]].

Once it's arms are destroyed, it is forced to open it's body and repair them. It will then release three bonded energy balls to help. Shooting the energy orbs until they are depleted will cause the sheild protecting it's core to disappear. Once this has happened, shoot the core until the second shield is gone and it's core is revealed. Shoot the core until the machine is destroyed.

*The Gorgon is named after the [[Wikipedia:Gorgon|gorgons]], vicious female monsters from Greek mythology. It is said that one who looked upon a gorgon would be instantly turned to stone. [[Wikipedia:Medusa|Medusa]] is probably the most recognizable and well-know of the three gorgon sisters. The Gorgon machine could be named so because of the resemblance of it's tentacle-arms to Medusa's famous snake-hair.
