The R-201 Asterozoa is a ground attack jet made by Neucom Incorporated.
Etymology[]
The name "Asterozoa" is a reference to the class name to which all sea stars belong.
Description[]
The first dedicated attack aircraft of Neucom's R-series, the R-201 was developed to fulfill the ground attack role. It features a distinctive twin-fuselage design.
Despite having durable armor, the Asterozoa's poor speed and mobility rendered it highly vulnerable to enemy aircraft. In response, a successor, the R-211 Orcinus, was developed by Neucom.
Game Analysis[]
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere[]
- "An aircraft developed with ground attack as its main purpose. By splitting the fuselage in two parts, it allowed for the mounting of more weapons and increased durability. Due to its high gross weight, its power and acceleration is not great, but can maintain stable flight conditions. With its high ammunition count, it can wipe out its intended ground target with absolute certainty."

Trivia[]
- Despite this aircraft having a UPEO variant, the export version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere uses the standard Neucom paint scheme for the playable R-201, with the only difference being the Neucom emblem on the wing being replaced with the UPEO emblem. This is also in spite of the export version having the R-201U in-game.[1]
