XB-0 Hresvelgr

The XB-0 Hresvelgr is seen in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. The XB-0 was envisioned as a Super Transport, Bomber and airfield, which would provide constant support to troops of the Belkan Federation, anywhere on the planet. It is believed to be one of the many designs from "Project Pendragon", which were forced into production before the start of the Belkan War. Though it was never officially deployed by the Belkan Air Force, it was taken by "A World With No Boundaries" and used as their main means of transportation.

Estovakia's air-carrier Aigaion, noted to have been designed by Belkan defectors, could be considered a next-generation Hresvelgr.

History
The massive XB-0 Hresvelgr aircraft is the second super weapon originating in Belka, the first being the Excalibur, a system of chemical lasers designed to shoot down planes. 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 as of 1995. It is designed to act as a staging area and aerial aircraft carrier for air and land dominance operations, and, because of its size, can act as a large-volume transport and Bomber.

As the Belkan War dragged on, the Belkan Military began to lose and did not want their capital city to fall to the rapid advance of Allied Troops, due to the destruction of The Excalibur. The Hresvelger was never activated by the Belkan Military, because of it's 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 Ex-Belkan Ace, Commander and Weapon Designer Anton Kupchenko.

The Hresvelgr attacked the City of Lumen and Valais Air Base. During the raid on Valais Air Base, the Hresvelgr encountered the 66th AFU Galm and was shot down soon afterwards. During the battle, the XB-0 was protected by multiple Fighter from the Osean Air Force, along with Sapin's Espada Squadron. As the Hresvelgr goes down, one of the final transmissions indicate that someone "important" or high up in their Ranks is aboard and escapes.

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, Hræsvelgr.
