The '''Battleship Halberd''' (often referred to in short as simply '''Halberd''') is a giant flying warship which [[Meta Knight]] commands and uses as his main base of operations. With the help of a motley crew of [[Popstar]]'s residents | The '''Battleship Halberd''' (often referred to in short as simply '''Halberd''') is a giant flying warship which [[Meta Knight]] commands and uses as his main base of operations. With the help of a motley crew of [[Popstar]]'s residents - most notably the [[Meta-Knights]], [[Captain Vul]], and [[Sailor Waddle Dee]] - Meta Knight uses the ship as a display of his power, authority, and leadership. The Halberd is equipped with two large and four small bat-like wings, a series of powerful engines fueled by the [[Reactor]] (which is powered by [[Wheelie]]s), and a large array of guns, the most notable of which being the mighty [[Combo Cannon]]. Among its remarkable arsenal, the Halberd is also equipped with a giant robot known as [[Heavy Lobster]]. At the bow of the ship is a giant replica of Meta Knight's mask, making it hard to mistake who the ship belongs to. The Halberd is capable of operating in the air, underwater, and even in deep space. | ||
The Halberd was first introduced in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', where it is the primary setting of the game [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], wherein Kirby infiltrates the ship and gradually blows it to pieces in order to stop Meta Knight from using it to take over [[Dream Land]]. Since then, the Halberd has made a number of notable reappearances in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. For instance, it is repaired and made operational again in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', with some stages of [[Secret Sea]] and [[Gamble Galaxy]] taking place upon it. Additionally, in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', the Halberd is [[Battleship Halberd (stage)|a stage]] in [[Dream Land (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Dream Land]]. Furthermore, in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', Kirby and Meta Knight team up and fuse the [[Robobot Armor]] with the Halberd into the mighty [[Halberd Mode]] in order to take on [[Star Dream]]. | The Halberd was first introduced in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', where it is the primary setting of the game [[Revenge of Meta Knight]], wherein Kirby infiltrates the ship and gradually blows it to pieces in order to stop Meta Knight from using it to take over [[Dream Land]].

The design of the Halberd is similar to its original design in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', featuring a similar keel and a rounded bridge superstructure, but it has a smoother silver appearance, larger weapons, and wings equipped with rocket engines. Unlike the games, it is not powered by [[Wheelie|Wheelies]] or the [[Reactor]], but instead features a singular main engine that is powered by an unknown fuel source. Also unlike the games, this Halberd is equipped with energy shielding and a warp drive that allows the ship to enter warp speed. In place of the [[Combo Cannon]] is the Gravity Disruptor, a powerful twin-barrel plasma beam turret capable of taking out Destroyas in a single hit. | The design of the Halberd is similar to its original design in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', featuring a similar keel and a rounded bridge superstructure, but it has a smoother silver appearance, larger weapons, and wings equipped with rocket engines.
