Vertigo
From Universe At War
Contents |
[edit] General
Vertigo is a cryptography and communications protocol, originally designed as a land-based detection system used to intercept and decrypt enemy communications. As the Hierarchy began to localize and shield their transmissions, Vertigo found it necessary to get as close to the enemy as possible. His consciousness was built into a high-speed aircraft frame, allowing him to carry out his missions and keep the Hierarchy constantly looking over their shoulders. Vertigo's craft, while somewhat fragile, has been outfitted with Novus' most advanced cloaking device, giving him near silent and invisible operation nearly at all times.
Vertigo is the Stealth hero of Novus, unlocked by the Computing Branch. He is an extremely fast aircraft with stealth. His railgun attacks air and ground. It is strong against aircraft, heroes, and Masari Dark Matter Armor, but weak against infantry, turrets, and Walkers.
