Wolfen II

VEHICLE TYPE Ultraperformance aerospace fighter OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Dual laser cannons DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES G-Diffuser system (enhanced) CREW Pilot only

INTEL The newest iteration of the Wolfen-class combat fighter is leaner, meaner, and tougher than its forerunner. In fact, intercepted design documents suggest the Wolfen II is capable of outperforming any all-range-capable combat fighter in the Cornerian arsenal—including the Arwing.

Like the Mk I model, the Wolfen II is a joint creation of Dr. Andross—whose work in applied gravitational theory is unsurpassed—and Pigma Dengar, a capable engineer whose time with Star Fox provided him firsthand experience with integrated G-Diffuser technology. The result is an enhanced G-Diffuser system with abbreviated recharge cycles, allowing the craft more frequent access to advanced aerial maneuvers.

The Wolfen II also appears capable of generating a shield that negates the damage potential of charged shots and explosives. Direct laser fire is the only viable offensive option against the craft, but its enhanced speed and capacity for deflective barrel rolls make it difficult to land a shot.

On the topic of the Wolfen II, the only good news is that this superlative fighter has not been widely adopted. It is currently reserved for the exclusive use of the Star Wolf team.

ASSESSMENT The Wolfen II exponentially elevates the threat posed by Star Wolf. If a dogfight can't be avoided, then teamwork, evasion, and adaptability will be necessary to survive against these best-in-class combat fighters.
