Griffin

The Griffin is a type of starship employed by the Terran Dominion. It was given to Agent Nova Terra by Valerian Mengsk for use in her Covert Ops Crew.

The Griffin employs both a "travel mode" and a "flight mode." In the latter, its wings fold out. The Griffin has a functioning personal cloak.

History
After escaping from the Defenders of Man, Agent Nova Terra met with Emperor Valerian Mengsk, who promised her the Griffin and his Covert Ops Crew in return for her loyalty. She accepted, and after recovering some of her memories set out for Tarsonis.

The Griffin deployed her and her crew outside of a Defenders of Man base, allowing them to garrison structures surrounding the base while Nova Terra infiltrated the facility.

Game Effect
The Griffin serves as the mission hub in Nova Covert Ops. In future mission packs, players will be able to explore its story-mode space in a manner similar to previous games.

Development
The ship was named Condor in earlier builds of the mission packs.
