Gyaraga

The legendary Tomorrowland Death Squad Force space fighter **Gyaraga**is Space General Reinald's starfighter that appears in Galaga and some of the game's successors, and especially in all Virtual Galaga series as one of the main protagonists that could destroy the Galaga forces and its Tomorrowland and Earth's futuristic mechanical guardian to save the entire Milky Way galaxy and the whole universe. The purpose of creating a "dual fighter" is when being captured, it turns red, if the player destroys Gorg (Boss Galaga) that has captured it whilst diving, they will retrieve the captured ship and it will double the size and firepower of the player (unless if it's your last life and game immediately ends when Gorg Boss Galaga captures your last life alongside dying in a stage by getting shot down or collision into another enemy).

## Development

During the early 1980s in the events of Alex20191's, LEGO, and Scareye's "Sweet Mayhem and the Systarian Navy/Sweet Mayhem and the Galactic Patrol" timeline, the prototype of the Gyaraga was being in development under the name "YR-550 Corvus" that made its first training and its first test flight. However when Corvus was successful after its complete first test flight, it was later revamped and renamed into "Gyaraga", and it's now finally ready for active service and combat use to fight against the Galaga fleet. Interestingly, both Spartacus (Bosconian) and Gyaraga (Galaga) were developed back in 1981. Before General Reinald pilots the Gyaraga since he and Reginald didn't exist at that time until early 2000s, A ranked and expert TDSF fighter pilot was appointed to use the Gyaraga to take down the entire Galaga fleet and saves the entire universe until the events of Gaplus and Galaga '88 shows up.

Many years later after both Spartacus and Gyaraga were developed back in 1981, the TDSF and UGSF develops next generation Galaga ships; the Ogre-Header, ALT Header, Blast Fighter, Lightning, and the mass production Gyaraga MP-95 were being made due to many attacks of the next generation of the new Galaga activity attacking in the entire universe.

## Gyaraga MP-95

**Gyaraga MP-95** is a mass-production version of the Gyaraga that appears in older Namco Museum games and Galaga Arrangement from Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1. Unlike the original Gyaraga and much like Fire LEO-03 Styx that happened in Thunder Force IV, it has yellow chines (on its wings) instead of blue. However, there is a blue version of Gyaraga MP-95 as an alternate paint job used for Player 2. The Gyaraga MP-95 got it's upgrade that has new abilities when you rescue a captured fighter from any types of boss Galagas. The Wave Shot fighter was used by Gorg (Boss Galaga), the rapid fire/Gatling gun fighter was used by the Boss Moth/Boss Choucho, and the Ricochet Shot fighter was used by the Boss Ladibug/Boss Tentoumushi. However unlike Galaga '88, it's impossible to make into the triple ship (Reginald's Lockheed Triple Fighter Lightning) because when you're in dual fighter form, any type of boss Galagas will capture and stole the other fighter; leaving it back to the Gyaraga MP-95 ship.

## Notes

* In the latest update of Xeno Fighters R (version 2.0), the Gyaraga transforms into the Lockheed Triple Fighter Lightning as a support fighter (although it was a bomb attack in the game).

## Weaponry

Melt Missiles: Shoots blue homing missiles that could heavy damage & destroys enemies and their shots; originally taken from the β ship from Namco's 1989 shmup Dangerous Seed but in Sega Genesis style.
