Silver-Hawk Legend

The Silver-Hawk Legend is one of the main protagonists of Dariusburst and its remixes Dariusburst: Another Chronicle and Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours. It is one of the last and most advanced Silver-Hawk spacecrafts ever built by the Darian People. In addition to the new Burst System unit that assists the fighter battle, it is also the first craft to not be piloted by an human pilot, rather by an AI called Ti2.
==History==
In the Darius year 1904, the Belsar, a long-time enemy the people of Darius and Olga returns and attacks the namesake planet after being revived by the people who immigrated to the planet from Vadis. The Belsar used a EMP-like virus to knock out the entire interplanetary communication systems, before destroying the entire Darian fleet almost instantly. 
Out of the wreckage of the destroyed fleet, the people of Darius constructed two of the most advanced Silver-Hawk spacecrafts: the Silver-Hawk Legend, a successor of the previous Silver-Hawks used by the Amnelians and Darians in the past that was controlled by an AI called Ti2, and the Silver-Hawk Next, a new prototype Silver-Hawk with a unique design and more powerful armaments piloted by test pilot Riga Practica. In Dariusburst: Another Chronicle and Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours they are joined by two additional Silver-Hawks: the Silver-Hawk Assault, and the Silver-Hawk Formula.
Both/All Silver-Hawks manage to destroy the Belsar forces by taking down the lead battleships Great Thing, and Gigantic Bite, leading the forces to go into hiding indefinitely.
==Weapons==
The Silver-Hawk Legends' arsenal of weapons is largely based upon that of the first Silver-Hawk, however the Legend also has a new mechanic installed: the Burst System:
*Eagle Missile - a standard, straight-shot weapon that could destroy smaller Belsar forces easily. The weapon can be upgraded with red power-ups, which will allow the Silver-Hawk Legend to fire more missiles per shot.
**Pulse Laser - upon reaching tier 2, the missile is upgraded into a laser, which can penetrate through smaller enemies. Upgrading the laser will increase the length of the shot (and thus allow it to deal more damage), as well as increase the number of lasers fired at once.
**Vionic Wave - upon reaching tier 3, the laser will be upgrade into the wave, which will allow the shot to cover a larger area, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once; in addition to being able to penetrate Belsar forces and battleships, it can also pass through terrain. Upgrading the wave will increase the width of the shot, allowing it to cover an even larger area per shot.
*Bomb - a secondary ballistic weapon that will fire out the front of the Silver-Hawk Legend that will travel in a 90 arc downward, it is effective for clearing flank and ground enemies. The weapon can be upgraded with green power-ups.
**Twin Bomb - upon reaching tier 2, an additional bomb will be fired from the front of the Silver-Hawk and will travel in a 90 arc upward.
**4-Way Bomb - upon reaching tier 3, an additional two bombs will be fired from behind the Silver-Hawk and will travel in a 90 arc upward and downward, making them useful for clearing flank attacks from behind.
*Burst System - a new weapon introduced for the Silver-Hawk Legend and its counterparts; upon activating the Burst button, the Silver-Hawk Legend will fire a powerful laser that consumes the Burst Meter. Activating the button twice will lock the laser in place, allowing it to consume the meter slower. The Burst System can be used against similar cannons used by Belsar battleships, allow it to destroy them quicker whilst consuming less of the meter. The Legend can only use the weapon for a limited time, for once the meter runs out, the Burst System becomes unavailable until the meter is refilled again. The meter can be refilled by destroying smaller Belsar forces.
*Arm - upon obtaining a blue power-up, the Silver-Hawk will activate a green shield, which will absorb up to three hits from both enemy projectiles, and collisions with Belsar's and terrain. Collecting multiple power-ups will replenish the shield.
**Super Arm - upon reaching tier 2, the shield will turn silver and absorb up to four hits.
**Hyper Arm - upon reaching tier 3, the shield will turn gold and absorb up to five hits.
