VHF-1 Fighter
Plural: VHF-1 Fighters
The Velocitech Harrier Fighter (commonly known as the Veritas fighter) is a futuristic technological marvel--today! The only down side is that it continually emits an irritating high-pitched tone when in operation--something about a very high frequency leakage. Otherwise, this miniaturized, single-seater fighter plane is snazzy enough to send even the most jaded of maverick top guns into a dreamy tailspin over the chance to fly it.

The Wok of Stars

• Was available for 10 silver stars during May 2008.

Using a VHF-1 Exosuit

You punch a big red button on the fighter's dashboard. In a matter of moments the plane has twisted and turned upon itself and remakes itself into the form of a mechanical exosuit.

You got an item: VHF-1 Exosuit

• When equipped, adds a "Use an item" option in combat, "Call in an airstike"

• First five times a day:

You press a secret combination of buttons on your watch, summoning your VHF-1 Fighter. A few seconds later it zips overhead on remote control and drops a load of armament on your opponent. Your opponent takes X + X damage.

• After five uses:

You've already called in five air strikes today, and that's all the armaments your plane has. It's not going to work again until you can get more tomorrow.

• +2-4 PP per turn
  

Notes

• X equals 30% of the opponent's remaining hit points with a minimum of 12.
• Equipping this requires Passable Pilot.
