The HS-24 Stealth VTOL, or more commonly known as the Shadow, is an Anti-Tank air and space vehicle used by Oligarchy 13. It serves as the replacement of the HS-17 Soul Stealth Fighter.

It was made to be as close to the Terran Banshees from the six-hundred-year-old-game, Starcraft II, as possible.

The Shadow is a vertical take off and landing vehicle used by Oligarchy 13 after the Human-Scyphozoa War. Like the Soul, it has Stealth Ablative Coating. However, it can sustain more damage than its predecessor, even though it is just about 1.5 times larger than a Hornet. Unlike the Soul, the Shadow has more of an Anti-Tank role. It is used to wipe out any Anti-Air threats that can cause severe damage. The Shadow also has a separate set of engines, allowing it to engage in space combat. Again, it is generally not used against starfighters/interceptors, but is used to destroy warship defense weapons.

The Shadow is armed with two missile launchers, which are improvements of those on Hornets. The missiles travel faster, and are able to be fired at a higher rate.
