| 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.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the script for ''[[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]'', Star Falcon was known as '''[[Garuda]] II''' {{Nihongo|ガルーダＩＩ|Garūda Tsū}}.<ref name="Complete Works">{{cite book|title=[[Toho Special Effects Movie Complete Works]]|publisher=[[villagebooks]]|date=September 28, 2012|page=246|isbn=9784864910132}}</ref>
| |
| *Its ability to fly in the vacuum of space would make the Star Falcon a [[wikipedia:Spaceplane|spaceplane]]. Because of its nature as a fighter craft, it could be called a star fighter or space fighter.
| |
| *Synthetic Diamond was also used for the [[Super X2]]'s Fire Mirror, the armor of the Heisei [[Mechagodzilla/Heisei|Heisei Mechagodzilla]], [[Garuda]], [[MOGUERA]], the [[Land Moguera]] counterpart and [[Kiryu]]'s Absolute Zero Cannon.
| |
| **Although not Synthetic Diamond, [[Spacegodzilla]] would be another character that uses crystals for its power set and adds to the reoccurring theme of crystals in the Heisei era.
| |
| *The Star Falcon's Dual Plasma Laser Cannons appear to work as [[wikipedia:Pulsed laser|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 layers that spot before the rest of the target's body can gradually absorb the heat like with a continuous laser stream. The concept of a pulse laser would be revisited again for the [[GX-813 Griffon]] in ''[[Godzilla vs. Megaguirus]]''.
| |
| *The Plasma Laser Cannons are implied by their name to be combination energy weapons. While [[wikipedia:Laser|lasers]] and [[wikipedia:Plasma (physics)|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. Similarly, the [[Karyu]], [[Rumbling]], and [[Eclair]] in ''[[Godzilla: Final Wars]]'' are all equipped with combination energy weapons in the form of Miniature Plasma Maser Beam Cannons.
