The UFBS-010 Heimdall (also known as Heimdal) is the primary dreadnought for the Space Corps. Heavily armored and outfitted, it is very useful in areas that can accommodate its massive size and is the flagship of choice for most large-scale skirmishes.
Similarly to the UFHC-007 Vanargand and other ships of the R-Type Series, details on the Heimdall are sparse. There are no known sources indicating the true size of the vessel, but it can be estimated to be between 750-850 meters long, 300 meters tall, and 150 meters wide. This makes it one of the largest ships to have been used by the Space Corps until succeeded by newer, stronger models. Having been designed long before the events of R-Type Command, it is an inferior design in the period of the game. The Heimdall was intended to be decommissioned, but was brought back to serve against the Bydo.
The Heimdall is the largest ship available to the player in R-Type Command. The UFBS-011 Tyr can become available to the player after finding spoil number 62 (Training Supplies 3), which is found on mission #56 (In Arm's Reach) of the Bydo campaign.
It is equipped with a Burtgang cannon, a Hull Laser, a Gjallarhorn missile launcher and a Bridge Gun. However, the Heimdall is not the strongest ship in R-Type Command; Several larger dreadnoughts are encountered during the Bydo campaign, which are the Jotunheim, Muspellheim and the Niflheim. These three successors may be utilized by the player in R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate.
