OVERVIEW:
The Spiridous is an Oversized aircraft under the command of the Valahia, terrorist group. It is their primary offensive weapon. It first appeared during an air raid against Tokyo. The United States Navy's 7th Fleet, Japanese Self Defense Forces and the Martinez Security company's Rigel and Antares squadrons engaged the Spiridus after repelling an initial attack near Midway Island. The size of the Spiridus can be compared to the P-1112 Aigaion. Besides various anti-aircraft defenses, the main weapon of the Spiridus is the Balaur energy cannon. The form of energy emitted is unknown, but a large amount of energy is built before discharge. At the rear of the Spiridus is where the Balaur's heat vents are located. Damaging the heat vents causes major problems in the charging process and all charged energy must be released in order to not cause the Balaur to self destruct.

Following the first attack on Tokyo, the Spiridus escaped towards the Izu Islands where it was lost on radar, due to its stealth capabilities. It was later sighted over Egypt by the International Union Peacekeeping Force, but was not present for any combat in the area. It later launched an attack on London, England in a night time raid. Deploying its Electro-lasers to attack the city, the Spiridus attempted to damage the major blocks of the city. After multiple attacks by the Antares Squadron and the International Union Peacekeeping Force, the Spiridus was shot down over London. Though it attempted to fire the Balaur cannon at the capital, it was unable to maintain flight and fell into the River Thames. Though London was heavily damaged, it was not completed destroyed.

[Shieldheart]

Hm.. isn't it the Louver?

[Scherzo]

No, its the Spirous. The Louver is a biplane.

[JianDaoXiao]

both wrong, the louver is just a target of the Spiridus, something like engine or similar. Also the Spiridus is a biplane like the X-49.
This one is a big delta wing and have no name for the moment

[n00b_modders]

well it's like an mix of louver,spiourous and x49...

[Ribbon-Grey]

JDX, I'm going to give you 48 hours to add more information, and clean up the article. If it's not done by then I'm moving it to the recycle bin, ok buddy? It's just not ready yet.

[Ribbon-Grey]

Forgive the double post.

JDX, good work on cleaning it up, but you need to make it look more professional and less like it's the back of a DVD. You're not trying to describe how the thing enters the battlespace, but what it is exactly. OK?

[NekoArk]

Some of the images on the links are not the right ones. It says Spiridus firing thunder or its missile but the images link to the Gandr from Xi. Might need to fix that.

[AceWombat]

I thought it was called the Spirous rather than Spiridus?

[Ribbon-Blue]

Information updated. The name has been corrected as well.

[Ribbon-Blue]

Second update! ...spoilers in the second paragraph.

[Raptor 1 'Dragonheart']

Spiridus confirmed. Also, need to spell-check Antares in paragraph 2.

[Ribbon-Blue]

Error corrected.

[Raptor 1 'Dragonheart']

Unknown Lightning Weapon = Electrolaser Cannon
Unknown Energy Weapon = IRCM (Infrared Countermeasures)

[EstovakianHarrierPlus]

Grammar fixed.
