The Logan Veritech Fighter is principally used by the Armies of the Southern Cross. Often described as the rowboat jet, this fighter has none of the graceful looks of the Alpha. However, in some respects, the Logan is easier to pilot than the Alpha. For this reason, quite a few were included with REF mecha force. The mecha only has two modes: Jet Fighter and Guardian Mode. The Guardian Mode is limited in its amount of movement and capability. However, while in Guardian mode it is capable of using the ancient defensive weapon, the shield. It is equipped with especially tough shields built onto each arm. If the shields are depleted the Logan will no longer be capable of flight. The Logan may also be equipped with up to 8 short range or 4 medium range missiles. However, once mounted, the mecha may not change forms until the missiles have either been expended or dropped. The Logan is equipped with laser reflective armor.
