Star Falcon (スターファルコン,   Sutā Farukon) is an aerial vehicle used by G-Force that first appeared in Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. It forms the lower half of MOGUERA.

History

Heisei era

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla

Akira Yuki called for the separation of MOGUERA's two segments in order to attack SpaceGodzilla with a new plan. He took Star Falcon, as his crew mates took the Land Moguera. Yuki fired Star Falcon's lasers at SpaceGodzilla, and he felt the full force of the monster's corona beam counteroffensive. Star Falcon continued to fire its lasers and, again, was hit by the corona beam. However, Yuki's efforts allowed Star Falcon to distract SpaceGodzilla long enough for Land Moguera and Godzilla to destroy Fukuoka Tower, which SpaceGodzilla's energy supply depended upon. The super attack jet continued to fire upon SpaceGodzilla, as it prepared to merge with Land Moguera once again.

Weapons

  • Flight at 306 kilometers per hour in the atmosphere.[1]
  • Can travel at Mach 35.3 in outer space.[1]
  • Equipped with dual Plasma Laser Cannons.
  • Can join with Land Moguera to form MOGUERA

Trivia

  • In the script for Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Star Falcon was known as Garuda II (ガルーダII,   Garūda Tsū).[2]
  • Its ability to fly in the vacuum of space would make the Star Falcon a spaceplane. Because of its nature as a fighter craft, it could be called a star fighter or space fighter.
  • What was learned from Mechagodzilla and Garuda and their Super-Mechagodzilla form would be applied to MOGUERA, Land Moguera and Star Falcon.
  • Synthetic Diamond was explored earlier with the Super X2's Fire Mirror and again several more times with Heisei Mechagodzilla, Garuda, Super-Mechagodzilla, Land Moguera and MOGUERA's armor and Kiryu's Absolute Zero Cannon.
  • The Star Falcon's Dual Plasma Laser Cannons appear to work as pulsed lasers as they fire out laser bolts in a cycle instead of two continues streams much like Moguera and MOGUERA. This would allow damage or destruction of a specific spot on a target by rapidly heating it in a short time and vaporizing the layers of said spot before the rest of the target's body can gradually absorb the heat like with a continuous laser stream. The concept of the a pulse laser would be revisited again for the GX-813 Griffon in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus.
  • The Plasma Laser Cannons, are implied by their names to be combination energy weapons. While lasers and plasma are different, being energy and a state of matter (amplified light and ionized-gas, respectively) lasers can reach temperatures hot enough to turn gas into plasma, either when coming in contact with the air or heating up stored gases, such as hydrogen, in the weapon itself and releasing it when fired. The same would apply to the Plasma Laser Cannons in MOGUERA's eyes.
