The '''Gorgon''' is one of [[Andross]]'s deadliest weapons. It is equipped with a powerful superlaser capable of piercing the crust of a planet or destroying large ships such as [[Cornerian Cruiser]]s or the [[Great Fox]]. The weapon can defend itself from starfighters by firing waves of armor piercing missiles or by extending its three tentacles to physically slam into the target ship. The Gorgon also possesses a Dimension Transport System that enables it to phase in and out of reality, something that scientists have thought to be impossible until now. It served as the last line of defense in [[Area 6]]. | The '''Gorgon''' is one of [[Andross]]'s deadliest weapons.

*The Gorgon is named after the [[Wikipedia:Gorgon|gorgons]], vicious female monsters from Greek mythology. It is said that one who looked upon a gorgon would be instantly turned to stone. [[Wikipedia:Medusa|Medusa]] is probably the most recognizable and well-know of the three gorgon sisters. The Gorgon machine could be named so because of the resemblance of its tentacle-arms to Medusa's famous snake-hair. | *The Gorgon is named after the [[Wikipedia:Gorgon|gorgons]], vicious female monsters from Greek mythology.

*The ability to phase in and out of reality is also shared by the [[Phantron]] in the original [[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]], which shares a similar purpose in that it provides the last line of defence before Venom. | *The ability to phase in and out of reality is also shared by the [[Phantron]] in the original [[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]], which shares a similar purpose in that it provides the last line of defence before Venom. | ||
*It is potentially being piloted by either [[Caiman]] or the [[Area 6 commander]]. It's also possible that it was actually automated and/or not piloted by either character, due to the fact that the Area 6 commander says "Dang! DEPLOY IT NOW!!" shortly before the Gorgon battle. | |||
