Filecard information:
Code Name: T.A.R.G.A.T.
TRANS ATMOSPHERIC RAPID GLOBAL ASSAULT TROOPER
Always in the forefront of technology, Destro's technicians have developed a method for inserting troops into totally inaccessible locations. Trans Atmospheric Rapid Global Assault Troopers are deployed into orbit from a shuttle, wearing armored self-contained, bio-system suits and ceramic composite heat shields that double as hang gliders and weapons platforms. Their re-entry over their target could easily be mistaken for a meteor shower - until they start shooting!
"T.A.R.G A.T.s are quite formidable as assault troopers, but their psychological impact on defending troops is even greater! Who wants to have to fight a person who's crazy enough to turn himself into a human meteor?"

Filecard variant:
The 1989 T.A.R.G.A.T. filecard and the 1990 T.A.R.G.A.T. filecard have at least two subtle differences: THE ENEMY is smaller on the 1990 filecard, and the artwork is cropped a little tighter on the 1990 filecard.
