Appearances

R-Type Final / R-Type Final 2
Description
Support weapon developed to aid fighter defense. Its defensive efficiency is about the same as a Force.
Usage
Abbreviated as S in the armament. This Bit is all about defense, it's wide body perfect for providing cover and shielding against attacks. It can block common projectiles like a Force does, unlike other Bit variants such as the Round Bit and the Shadow Bit.
This Bit is only available to a selected number of ships. It's the default Bit Device of the R-9B series, the TL series, and the R-9uso800, and it's also available to very few final models of their series.
