!! Silver-Hawk_model_ARCF-ROTA_PLUS A.k.A Silver-Hawk Genesis:

Silver Hawk Military Designation- ARCF-ROTA PLUS
Alias-Silver Hawk
Occupant- 1
Height- 14.815 meters
Length- 26.55 meters
Width- 20.713 meters
Power Unit- A.N. (All Nothing) System Drive
Pilots:Sameluck Raida,Lutia Feen

The Chronologically Second Oldest (so far) Silver Hawk Model (the oldest is believed to be a developmental prototype), Genesis is notable for its Combination of State-of-the-Art Amnelian military technology- and Recovered/reverse engineered Thiima All-nothing Systems, primarily Its special Weapons system and Power source
* WaveMotionGun: a High-level Counter Alpha Beam (having absorbed at LEAST two Beta beam volleys form a boss) was previously the Page image.
* SuperPrototype: Arguably has the Most raw Fire-power/Damage dealing potential of ANY SH-Series Fighter in the Series with Its A.N Powered Alpha Beam. However...
* GlassCannon: in Chronicle Saviours, the Genesis Lacks a Fixed Beam projection system, rendering it completely reliant on evasive manouvers, and Re-spawns without Active Armour.
* RetroUpgrade: Elements of its Design and Systems were implemented into the Finalised Silver-Hawk Murrakumo
* Irony: The Craft responsible for Driving the Thiima away from Amnelian space was Powered by the very technology who's use prompted their attack
* Magitech: some supplementary material Describes All-Nothing Technology as literally being the result of "Black magic"
* AttackDrone: the "Genesis" Reproduction Provided to the Planet Saviours by Amnelia lacks the origional Capture-Ball system, instead mounting a Control system/Microfactory unit for a pair of attack drones due to inability to replicate the original CB technology

-> '''Location:''' Zone α

-> '''Location:''' Zone β

!! Queen Fossil
-> '''Location:''' Zone γ

A huge Coelacanth Thiima.

* BattleshipRaid: Definitely bigger than all the other bosses in the game excluding Fire Fossil (who's an UndergroundMonkey version of her), the player has to fight off different segments.

!! Dual Horn
-> '''Location:''' Zone δ

A large shrimp Thiima deployed by an even larger battleship.

* RollingAttack: One of its attack phases has it curl up and start rolling around while spraying shots all over.

-> '''Location:''' Zone ε

-> '''Location:''' Zone ζ

-> '''Location:''' Zone η

-> '''Location:''' Zone θ

-> '''Location:''' Zone ι

-> '''Location:''' Zone κ

!! Lightning Coronatus
-> '''Location:''' Zone λ

A crowned seahorse Thiima with electrical abilities.

* ShockAndAwe: Assaults the Silver Hawks with a variety of electrical attacks.

!! Heavy Arms Shell
-> '''Location:''' Zone μ

A heavily armored turtle Thiima

* TurtlePower: It's essentially a giant sea turtle that's heavily armed to the teeth.

-> '''Location''' Zone ν

A Sea Angel Thiima with a head and a core.

* BigBad: The leader of the Thiima in G-Darius.
* TheCameo: In one of ''Dariustburst'''s endings. After the heroes defeated the final boss of that route, its shadow appears menacingly in the background. Ti2, who can somehow communicate with it, decides to negotiate with The Embryon to prevent another war from happening.

!! Accordion Hazard
-> '''Location''' Zone ξ

An ''Anomalocaris'' Thiima.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Based on an ''Anomalocaris'', which is rarely seen in media.
