The mighty Scarab is the last line of defense for the Polaris people. Only a handful of the vessels have ever been constructed, and they mount the most devastating ordinance that the Polaris can produce. Two pulse lasers provide short-range firepower, while a Polaron emitter in the front mandibles fires a packet of coherent energy dubbed the Polaron Torpedo. This ship is capable of taking on entire fleets by itself, and has done so on occasion. However, there are pitifully few of these proud ships, and the defense of Polaris Space is a heavy burden on their shoulders.

NotesEdit

If you have any gameplay tips, hints, or background information relevant to this topic, please post them here.

As the game progresses, Scarabs begin to carry cloaking organs, tunneling organs, and multi-jump organs.

Each Scarab comes stock with four Manta attack fighters, though they can carry up to six in their bay.
