The Delta hasn't changed much since R-Type Delta, as it's still regarded as a prototype for the R-9C War-Head. This R-craft becomes available after defeating Xelf-16 in Metropolis Quietus.
Description:
[Reinforced Atmospheric Prototype]
A stripped-down model designed for in-atmosphere use. A prototype, but with plenty of combat use. Influenced many later designs. Has the same Wave Cannon as the R-9 and also boasts a Diffusion Wave Cannon that can amplify and disperse energy by using a special catalyst.
Armaments:
- 2 x Round Bit
OR
- 2 x Shadow Bit
- 2 x Homing Missile
OR
- 1 x Depth Bomb
OR
- 1 x Scatter Bomb
This craft improved on a number of systems from the original Arrowhead.
History
With the success of the Arrowhead, the Space Corps immediately started making improvements upon the design. The frame of an Arrowhead was stripped and used as a test bed for new technologies. However, when the Moritz-G struck one year after the events of the first Bydo encounter, the Delta was made combat-worthy and sent off to battle still in an experimental state, next to the R-13A Cerberus and RX-10 Albatross.
This is the default fighter for this mission. It's often referred to as "R9 aII".
Description:
'The R-9A2 Delta comes equipped with a Diffusion Wave Cannon, which concentrates and then disperses its energy using a special catalyzer. It is also equipped with the same Wave Cannon found on the R9 mass-production models.
It has a B-Energy of 2.8 Bydo.

| Name | Ammo | Power | ACE Power | Range | Hit | Use | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vulcan | 99 | 10 | 12 | 1-1 | 45% | A/B | Machine Gun | A short-range rapid-fire cannon. Has low firepower, but can intercept attacks. |
