The R-90 Ragnarok is one of the most powerful R-craft in the Space Corps arsenal, and that's saying something when they have one-man fighter craft capable of taking out huge warships single-handedly. The configuration and handling are a bit different in the various missions it appears in, but make no mistake; when the Ragnarok comes out to play, something is going to get blown up real good.


The R-90 Ragnarok is the only ship available, and is more than up to the task. It can equip 3 different Force units (but only one at a time, which is chosen when the mission begins), use the Round Bit and the standard array of Missiles, and accepts Speed Ups. Like all other R-craft, it comes equipped with a Vulcan Cannon. Most of its power, though, comes from its versatile Wave Cannon. The R-90 is capable of switching between the Mega Wave Cannon and the Hyper Wave, which induces a Heat mode after use (preventing further Wave Cannon attacks) as the ship cools down the system. While firing the Hyper Wave, any Bit Devices possessed fly quick orbits around the ship for defense. Switching the Wave Cannon from Mega to Hyper in the middle of a charge will cancel the current charge; this is one of the few exceptions to the normal rule that a Wave Cannon cannot be discharged except by firing it. Because of these features, the R-90 is one of the most powerful R-craft in the series

Cannon: Standard Vulcan Cannon Mk. I

Classified as a "Hyperdrive System Fighter", the R-90 is based on the R-9S frame, but with improved performance and firepower. Its frame is just strong enough to stabilize the firing of a Hyper Wave Cannon. The R-90 has changed in this mission as it loses the ability to select multiple Forces and only has the Hyper Wave Cannon.

Trivia[]

  • In Norse Mythology, Ragnarok means "Final Destiny of the Gods", and stands for the final battle between the Norse gods and their frost giant foes, and the major events that led to that final battle. The Ragnarok's initial mission was to wipe out the Bydo once and for all, thus its mission was completed. But that was before Operation Last Dance (also an previous attempt by the Space Corps to wipe out the Bydo Empire) 14 years later.
