| LASER: Judge Spear's Vulcan Cannon |
| MISSILE: Enhanced Burst Concussion Missiles |

The Verdict: This ship is a black version of the
Judge Spear. Notice the connection between the "Viper Class" of space fighters:
Judge Spear, Blue Javelin, and Dark Sword. They all have names of medieval
melee weapons. The Vulcan Cannon remains the same as Judge Spear's. The
Dark Sword's missile weapon is very cool. It is similar to the Blue
Javelin's Burst Missile weapon, but much better. Fully powered up, Dark
Sword can fire up to 25 of these missiles at once, covering almost the
entire screen and giving the Dark Sword a very good defense rating. The Dark
Sword uses the Dimension Mine Bomb its cousins use. The
Dark Sword is very fast, even faster than the Judge Spear! Some practice
is recommended to get the feel of this speed demon. The Dark Sword is the
last ship to be unlocked, and it is well worth the wait to use when it
is unlocked.
Pros: Unmatched speed. Fully powered-up Missile can virtually
carpet the screen with destructive power. Bomb deploys quickly.
Cons: Substantial delay between each burst of missiles,
leaving you open to attack. Almost impossible to weave in between tight
patterns of enemy bullets, due to its exceptional speed.
