The DWG109 Debake Astro Carrier Fighter is an astro carrier-based single-seat fighter used by the military of the Great Garmillas Empire.

History[]

Lyle Getto

Lyle Getto during the Battle of the Rainbow Star Cluster

A DWG109 squadron deployed from Gaiperon-Class Multideck Astro Assault Carrier Balgrey led by Major Lyle Ghetto was sent to engage the incoming Cosmo Falcon squadron in an attempt to distract human's attention, allowing the subsequent attack on Yamato to face weaker airborne resistance during the Battle of the Rainbow Star Cluster. DWG109 was proven to be a match for Cosmo Falcons as Getto managed to shoot down Takashi Daikuhara and gained the upper hand on Saburo Kato but was instead distracted by news of the destruction of Balgrey and killed by Kato.[2]

Up to 190 of them were used on Crimson Camraderie Carriers in 2203, with 4 being typically moored to the superstructure flight deck. All fighters in use on the CCCs recieved a red colour scheme.[3][4][5]

Notes[]

  • The DWG109 shares part of its designation with the Messerschmitt Bf 109 used by the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany during World War II. The Bf 109T was designed as an aircraft carrier-based fighter for the cancelled aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin 
  • The delta wing design of the DWG109 bears a striking resemblance to the Lippisch P.13a and 13b jet interceptors, Wunderwaffe (wonder weapon) aircraft designs of Nazi Germany which were never built.  
  • DWG may be the abbreviation for "Deluswualga", the garmilon word for "Battle-aviation-plane" or fighter.[6]
  • Even though it is said that the CCC could carry 190 of these, 10 more than Hayabusas, it is highly unlikely it could carry that many at all, as it is - similar to the Hayabusa - to tall for the 2,6m deck height of an Andromeda Carriers top hangar.
