Drawing ships: SHIP_THARGON

[NES version, Bank 1]

       Name: SHIP_THARGON                                            [Show more]
       Type: Variable
   Category: Drawing ships
    Summary: Ship blueprint for a Thargon
  Deep dive: Ship blueprints

    Context: See this variable in context in the source code
 References: This variable is used as follows:
             * Unused copy of XX21 uses SHIP_THARGON
             * XX21 uses SHIP_THARGON




 The ship blueprint for the Thargon reuses the edges data from the cargo
 canister, so the edges data offset is negative.
