The Heracles was a battleship in service with U.N. Spacy in 2092. It was armed with multiple beam guns and could deploy many VF-2SS Valkyrie II fighters. During the Mardook invasion of 2092, the Heracles was destroyed in the first battle with the Mardook’s mind-controlled Zentradi soldiers. This event was captured on video by SNN correspondents Dennis Lone and Hibiki Kanzaki. After the battle, U.N. Spacy suppressed the public release of the SNN footage.
