OVERVIEW:
The massive XB-0 Hresvelgr aircraft is the second superweapon originating in Belka, the first being the Excalibur, a system of chemical lasers. It was most likely a product of the Belkan "Project Pendragon". Most likely developed by Anton Kupchenko and manufactured by South Belkan Gründer Industries, this gargantuan flying fortress is actually a prototype with no mass production variants planned as of 1995. It is designed to act as a staging area and forward deployed command center for air and land dominance operations. Also, because of its size, it can act as a large-volume transport and bomber.
As the Belkan War dragged on, the Belkan military began to lose momentum and were being pushed back into North Belka. Not wanting their capital city to fall to the rapid advance of Allied troops, the Excalibur and V1 nuclear weapons were used to stop the Allied forces. The war ended on the 20th of June in 1995 with an Allied victory and never saw the Hresvelgr enter combat. The Hresvelgr was never activated by the Belkan military, because of its cost to operate and the lack of funds at the time.
Despite its cost to maintain, a revolutionary group known as, "A World with No Boundaries", utilized the Hresvelgr. It became their base of operations and the main transportation for the organization. It is believed that "A World With No Boundaries" acquired the XB-0 through Commander and weapon designer Anton Kupchenko.
The Hresvelgr attacked the city of Lumen and Valais Air Force Base. During the raid on Valais Air Force Base, the Hresvelgr encountered the 66th AFU Galm of the Ustian Air Force’s Mercenary 6th Air Division. The Hresvelgr, after attacking Lumen and Valais, continued north towards the Principality of Belka. As the XB-0 passed Stier Castle and neared the Waldreich Mountains, the Galm Team caught up to the Hresvelgr and promptly engaged it. The XB-0 was protected by multiple fighter aircraft from the Osean Air Force and the 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron “Espada” of the Sapin Air Force. The Galm Team successfully shot down the Espada Squadron and eventually stripped the XB-0 of its anti-air defenses located on the back and the belly of the aircraft. The Demon Lord then engaged the XB-0’s cockpit and destroyed its navigation systems, forcing the aircraft to crash within the Waldreich area.
As the Hresvelgr goes down, one of the final transmissions indicate that a key individual escapes the destruction of the Hresvelgr. The last transmission picked up and deciphered by PJ, the new Galm Two reads: "Yo, Buddy. You still alive?" This transmission was believed to be from Larry "Pixy" Foulke, formerly known as Galm Two, at the time. Later, it is confirmed that Foulke did join the organization.
Side note: The name Hresvelgr most probably taken from one of the Norse mythology giants, Hrćsvelgr.
