| A look at some of the hardware of the American forces on the Moon |
| As tensions began to mount between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, a need for a bomber was perceived, and a Beta-Series was converted. With a rear-cannon to help protect from fighters, the B-Bomber was capable of carrying two Mk-III missiles. However, it was too big and expensive to maintain. |
| From the early days of the Beta One base, the Americans maintained a series of open-cockpit fighters. Here, the original Glory Squad kept a colorful presence at Moonbase Freedom. The quick launch system made them one of the best ready-one crafts to see careers on the Moon. However, all of these models were out of service by the time hostilites broke out. |
| Just before hosilities broke out, the American base did receive it's first replacement craft. The Gamma-II was, essentially a redesigned Beta. With highly effecient engines, a computer mounted rear-gun and extra armor, the G-II was a lean, mean, fighting machine. The prototype arrived just days before combat began. |
