Description

Concealed deep within Fourth-Dimensional space, the Garoga's fleet of fightercraft were formidable weapons of Terror seemingly being held in reserve for some later stage of the invasion. Called out to repel the invasion of Peacelandians into their dimension, the craft engaged in a massive dogfight with Mighty Liner- with only the Zone Family craft emerging from the battle unscathed.

Later, when the battle with the Terror-Beast Goram looked as if it might consume the lives of both Zone Fighter and Zone Junior, the Garoga dispatched a trio of the fighter-craft into normal three-dimensional space for the first time, to prevent Smokey from replacing fighter's Zone Marker. Under Zone Angel's expert flying, however, the trio was almost immediately reduced to one- and after several aerial maneuvers for position, the Girl of Bravery soon sent the last Garoga Spacer plummeting to the ground in flames.

Finally, when the Zone Family prepared to launch their trap to take down the deadly Super-Jikiro, the Garoga were waiting with a trap of their own- a Garoga Spacer laying in wait underwater to ambush Mighty Liner before the battle. After a brief exchange of fire devastated the underwater landscape of the craggy ocean floor, this craft, too, met its demise just as Super-Jikiro arrived on the scene.

Sadly, despite superior numbers and often the element of surprise in their engagements with the Zone Family, the Garoga Spacers proved no match for the maneuverability or firepower of both Smokey and Mighty Liner, soundly defeated in every engagement.


Powers / Weapons
Flight

Flight

The smaller war ships of the Garoga proved nimble. They could fly well within Earth's atmosphere, able to dogfight with both the Mighty Liner and Smokey.

Versatility was also a trait of the Garoga ships, as they were able to travel within Fourth-Dimensional space and even underwater as well.

 

 

Missile Launchers

Missile Launchers

The Garoga Spacer could launch missiles from the twin barrel-ports flanking its nose cone. They generated explosions many times' Mighty Liner's size (and even larger than its main missile weaponry), and a near-miss rocker Mighty Liner violently… but the actual effect of the Garoga ordinance is unknown, as none of the weapons ever managed to find their target.


Background and Trivia
  • Each Garoga Spacer was piloted by a single Silver Garoga in a featureless cockpit.
  • Visually, the Garoga Spacers are very similar to the larger Garoga Flying Saucer, although differ both in coloring and powers. The exception is episode 20 when, at least visually, they appear almost identical to the Garoga Flying Saucer.
