The D-117B Axelay is an advanced fighter that was the player in Axelay. It is unique in that it is launched with a full complement of weapons, which are split into three separate categories. Each of the weapon hardpoints allows the Axelay to take damage and suffers critical damage if it is hit when a hardpoint is activated where the weapon is deactivated due to previous damage.
