GTC "Proteus"
TYPE "M2"
TYPE "M2"
TYPE "M3"
The Proteus was the first attempt by the GTC to combine the capabilities of their star-fighters with that of their bipedal attack craft, the CA series. To reduce costs, the cheap frame of a Vulture star-fighter was used. Like most fighters the original Proteus was equipped with a standard armament of dual missiles and a cannon for dog-fighting, also carrying two beam weapons and was equipped with a single point-defense turret as well as a radar jammer. Since it was built from a fighter, the unit was even able to continue operating even with the loss of its limbs, or even purge them itself for added mobility.
While the Proteus was expected to play a key role in future conflicts against the enemy due to its versatility, the expensive production costs of this model relegated it to a testbed for new and improved technologies.

Inspired by the TL- ships from the SHMUP R-Type and Macross. While im pretty happy with how well the ship performs, i'd love it if modular components would share stats with the mothership (hint hint, Schine!)
