The Sv-303 Vivasvat is a variable fighter developed by Dian Cecht under the Epsilon Foundation. This unmanned fighter does not require a pilot and is controlled by the Siren-quantum AI system. The craft also uses the latest fold-wave device and energy conversion armor. During operation, a special line of light appears within the armor. The Sv-303 also has a "fourth mode" which deploys the quad-engine units into an X-shape configuration for sharp turning or bursts of speed when high-mobility is needed.
In 2068, the Heimdall organization appeared within the Brisingr Globular Cluster lead by former New UN Spacy (NUNS) colonel Ian Cromwell. Commanding a heavily modified Battle Astraea, Cromwell deployed a large force of Sv-303 Vivasvat variable fighters controlled via the Siren-Quantum AI system and the virturoid group Yami_Q_Ray. The Sv-303 Vivasvat proved to be a devastating variable fighter, able to evade efffectively and difficult to damage even when struck by enemy fire.
Note: The name Vivasvat is from Hinduism, the name of an ancestor of humanity who was also a solar deity. The word in this context also means "brilliant", though most likely referring to appearance rather than a measure of mental acuity.
