* GAIA
* Ragra
* Rate
* Allef
* Disruptor

## GAIA

   The **Gaia** is another main ship in the series and the one controlled by the player in Star Luster.

### Description

The Gaia has more equipment than Star Fighter. Which are as follows:

#### Energy and shield level indicator:

* The energy indicator will show how much energy is left. Energy is vital to Gaia, as the game progresses, energy will be consumed by the player's actions). If it is lost the game will end.
* The shield indicator will show the life of the shield, depending on the color of the projectile of the enemies. Without the shield it will leave you vulnerable to any shot and if you get hit by a Gaia projectile it will explode, but you don't have to worry about the shield as it regenerates automatically.

#### Radar:

The rada is located in the center of the cockpit (the blue screen). The radar will allow you to know the real time position of the enemies. The enemies that are inside the lighter cone, are the ones that are visible in the cockpit window.

#### Subsystems status indicator

It has 3 small screens on the lower right side. They inform you about the status of the 3 subsystems. When some of the subsystems are working an "OK" will be displayed. But if Gaia receives a direct trigger, it will deactivate any function of any subsystem. If only one function is lost, DA (damaged) will be displayed on the screen, but if both functions of the subsystem are lost, it will be displayed as NG (each subsystem has 2 functions each, which will be mentioned below).

 COM
If this function is damaged, it will not allow you to move it and will cause you to be forced to put enemies within range of your weapons.
 ENG
If this function is lost, it will prevent the shields from regenerating and a shot towards your ship will be enough to destroy it.

## Enemies / Squadron

### Ragra

**Ragras** is a common enemy in the squads along with the Allef.

#### appearance

The Ragra is a somewhat small ship in the shape of an "X", its body is a kind of sphere with red lines. At the front it has a pointed beak where it is used as an energy weapon, and finally it has 2 wings at the top and one at the bottom.

#### Description

Ragras are the weakest enemies of all squadrons, but they are found in large numbers. They shoot at you when they are within range of your ship. Regardless of the difficulty level, Ragras can be destroyed with one shot.

They can be a bit annoying because of their speed, so it is a good technique to shoot them quickly when they are in the aiming range.

### Rate

        **The Rate** are the fastest enemies in the squadron.

#### appearance

The Rate is a somewhat small ship, its body is a kind of sphere that has some red lines. In the front part it has a pointed beak where it is used as an energy weapon, and finally it has a wing at the top and another at the bottom.

#### Description

Rates are the fastest in the game, it is quite likely that they will dodge your shots. The best thing to do is to chase them and shoot them when their back is turned. Don't rely on the classic rule (Faster enemies = enemies with low damage power), as they are quite strong in their offensive and it is best to move to dodge their attacks, otherwise they will damage your ship a lot.

Fortunately, it is very rare to encounter them, so you won't always have to deal with them.

### Allef

        **Allef** is a common enemy in the squads along with the Ragras. It has a strong defense

#### appearance

Allef looks like Solvalou from the game Xevious.  It has 2 rather thick wings and on them it has thrusters. On the body of the ship in its lower part it has an energy cannon. It has an irodynamic shape and is decorated with black lines. The cockpit glass is white (in the game it is black).

#### Description

The Allef are average combat ships, they usually need one shot to be destroyed but there will be others that require more shots. They fly at a normal speed, but nevertheless you have to be careful, as their attacks can damage the shield of the player's ship, leaving it vulnerable to other enemies.

### Disruptor

    **The Disruptor** is a kind of boss, which will come out when you defeat most of the squadron.

#### appearance

Its appearance is of a colossal sphere (similar to the Death Star), it has a line that divides half of it horizontally and another one vertically (not visible in the sprite). It also has 5 red squares that are used to shoot projectiles.

#### Description

Disruptors always appear when the squadron has few members alive, they will only appear once per game (this does not apply to adventure mode). They are the strongest enemies in the game (Star Luster), they are offensively and defensively stronger than the other enemies. Despite this they are very slow, but as you get closer to them they will have more chances to shoot you, so it is a good idea to be constantly on the move. They can also fire a purple projectile that will instantly destroy Gaia if it hits.
