The space fighter corps answer to the main battle mechas of the other Grand Alliance mecha forces. The Eagle was both manuverable and blindingly fast. It had some technological tricks such as overdrive boosters as well as the latest in plasma weaponry. It could both function as a capital ship destroyer and a heavy mech killer. Armed to the teeth the eagle could fulfil any mission role it could be sent to perform. It would serve as the workhorse fighter for the Grand alliance fighter corps even as commanders would shift more of their forces towards space based mecha.
