Zanac/Aerial Targets

Duster
''Yellow: 60 points. Blue: 170 points.'' A meteor on a fixed course. Easily destroyed.

Yellow Dusters float passively and pose a little threat. They are encountered every time you start the game unless you've started a new game without resetting the console. Appearance of yellow dusters usually means that Teruzas will fly onscreen soon.

Blue Dusters fly to the bottom of the screen in an arc and sometimes can slip past your notice.

Teruza/Terza
300 points. A round enemy with points, it comes in two colors. Easily destroyed. Although they have a rather erratic flight pattern, they follow excactly the same flight path determined by its color. They seem to appear more commonly only in certain aggression levels, but one to few of them might join in practically any time where System sends you non-predefined enemies.
 * Blue: Appears from the side of the screen, moves in a circular pattern and exits by moving to the opposite side of a top corner. Blue Teruzas are often followed by red Teruzas.
 * Red: Appears on the top side of the screen where it moves downward in a wave-like pattern. After that, they exit the screen from mid-bottom.

Giza
1000 points. A round, cell-like enemy that soaks up firepower before being destroyed. They are completely stationary, and it takes 16 shots to destroy one.

Valkyrie
100 points. Valkyries appears suddenly and stay in one place, initially indestructible. Then, it will turn orange and begin chasing your ship. When orange, the Valkyrie can be destroyed by your ship's weapons. These appear almost always in predefined locations with only a few exceptions (for an example: when maximizing special weapon 2).

Umber
300 points (Yellow: 500 points). Oval shaped, there are three types.
 * Purple: Descends from the center of the screen and then opens to release seven Leads in an arc. This type is very common.
 * Blue: Releases two Leads that will rotate in a circle parallel to each other while the Umber withdraws.
 * Yellow: Randomly scatters chips, also quite rare, but quite dangerous.

Veybar
500 points. A ship with two knife-like edges at right angles from each other. Blue and yellow varieties swoop down from the top of the screen, dropping a single Lead in your direction before leaving. Blue ones drop down to one side of the screen while yellow ones swoop down to center of the screen.

Luster
500 points (Purple: 800 points). The Luster scatters Leads in three directions. The cockpit of the ship sometimes open and close.
 * Blue: Descends slowly on the left or right hand side of the screen. It shoots Leads at regular intervals.
 * Yellow: Descends on the left or right hand side of the screen, oscillating back and forth an inch or two as it descends. It shoots Leads, and can be somewhat dangerous in a crowded screen.
 * Purple: The most dangerous type, it starts at the top of the screen and descends in a very wide arc that usually takes it behind your ship at the bottom of the screen. When it gets close to the very bottom of the screen it crosses from left to right (or vice versa) and shoots Leads. The trick is either to catch it as soon as it appears or hover near the *very* bottom row of the screen so you will still be underneath the Luster.

E-Fain
''Types 1,4: 800 points. Type 2,3: 500 points.'' This spaceship comes in several types, but they're all coloured blue.
 * Type 1: This type tends to appear in groups and will hang around the center of the screen, appearing to duck in and out of the background. They shoot leads when they're vulnerable. It can only be destroyed when a dark blue and above the background.
 * Type 2: Crosses the screen at the top, firing Light Bars. Appears when the Aggression Level is high.
 * Type 3: Descends from the top of the screen, scattering Leads directly to its left and right.
 * Type 4: Appears at the top of the screen, releases a single Sig and then deploys Mios as a force field before continuing releasing Sigs. These become more common when aggression level is high or when player is attacking the fortress.

Loga
''Blue: 300 points. Yellow: 800 points.'' An oval shaped craft with four seams emerging from a central point. It opens to release Light Bars.
 * Blue: Descends on the left or right hand side. It releases a single set of Light Bars when Zanac is at same height of the screen as it is.
 * Yellow: Releases a number of Light Bars in an arc, repeating at regular intervals. They appear commonly when enemy aggression is its absolute highest.

Degid
300 points (Backwards: 800 points). An enemy shaped a little like a heart. It appears as two halves, one on either side of the screen. When your ship passes between them the two halves come together, crushing your ship between if it is unlucky enough to get caught. Special weapon 0 works very well against them.
 * Type 1: These are blue and come from the top of the screen.
 * Type 2: These are tan and come from the bottom.

Mortar (Takuwashi)
2000 points. A blue enemy with a noticeable muzzle at the front. The Mortar sprays an unending stream of Sigs at you, which can make it difficult to take out with weaker weaponry. Try to dodge left to right — the Mortar will follow but you will be able to get your shots through a little easier. Although normally it shoots toward the bottom of the screen it is more than happy to shoot upwards if it can get below you. If you have upgraded weapons, then destroying it with brute force from below by getting close to it and firing both conventional and special weaponry is also an option.

Egg (Dorobu)
300 points (Each husk: 5000 points). A blue ship that descends from the top of the screen. Partway down it splits in half, releasing three Sigs. The Egg can easily be destroyed only when in one piece; the two halves are extremely durable and can only be destroyed with constant high firepower or something that clears the screen. It will even stand up to a direct hit from your ship.

T-Cell (Carla)
1000 points. These are red, organic looking blobs that first appear in Area 8 are, which seems to take place on or inside a huge alien creature or living planet. After that, they appear only in Area 11, but in much smaller numbers. The T-CELLs attack in waves and are indestructible to any weapon which does not clear the screen. However, they are destroyed when you ram them with your Zanac.

Golgos
''Yellow: 800 points. Blue: 2000 points. Red: 4000 points.'' A ship that is larger than most of the other enemies, though not as large as Capital Ships. It has two vertical wings on either side of a narrow body. Their appearance varies from one type to another.
 * Yellow: Has yellow wings with a blue center. Scatters Leads in three directions at a time — forward towards your Zanac and diagonally to the left and right. They can also shoot upwards.
 * Blue: Has blue wings and a yellow center. Scatters one Lead after another in alternating directions.
 * Red: Has a red center with pointy, leg-like blue wings. It launches Sigs in groups of five. These appear commonly when picking up special weapon 2 and are quite dangerous. They tend to appear in pairs or groups of 3. Otherwise, they appear in Area 12 or when you haven't lost a life for quite a few levels while firing constantly with such weapons as 0 and 5 in laser form.
