Since its first flight in Operation Lighthammer, the Eclipse has participated in numerous stealth and tactical bombing operations over the years, primarily for defensive measures performed by the UEE Navy. The Eclipse was declassified as a military-level asset in 2947 under Historical Truth Act and the Militia Mobilization Initiative and sold to UEE citizens with a good standing. The fund was used to continue funding Project Eclipse for the UEE Military.

Stealthier than the Hornet Ghost or Sabre.The most advanced stealth bomber available.Notwithstanding the declassification of Project Eclipse, the ship embodies proprietary technologies and intellectual property that remain under the ownership of Aegis Dynamics and/or the UEE. Armed with weapons for self-defence, but relies on stealth. Missiles, bombs, weapons stored internally on the ship so as to reduce its profile flaps and bays open for their use.Engines and intakes that are moulded to be unobtrusive from the body profile.A smooth shape running the width and length of the ship like an aerowing.The AEGIS bomber should combine elements of Aegis'srounded aesthetic, and the design elements of iconic stealth ships. The ship has been discussed to be approximately the size of a Gladiator. For maximum compatibility it should be able to fit inside an Idris, so should be 25m wide max.īeing an advanced stealth ship, the size and shape of the ship is kept to a smooth, minimalist nature, which will also help keep its weight down a little. Twin engines, as they would produce less heat together than one larger engine. A central torpedo bay also would restrict the ability for it to have one engine.Ĥ x top, 4 x bottom with two top and bottom on the front, and two top and bottom at the rear. The ship was suggested to run with small components, which should help to keep its signature down.īallistic Gatling weapons to be used for short, brutal engagements. However, the Eclipse is not a dogfighter and isn't armed for protracted engagements. Weapons should fit inside the wings and have flaps open during flight/use. Three size 9 torpedoes are stored inside the ship.

A central hatch similar to the Retaliator's opens for them to be fired.

However, its armour should have enhanced scanning/detection reducing properties similar to the Hornet Ghost.Ī list of all components, templates and measurements that the concept artist needs to adhere to.ĪEGIS Avenger-style dual flight stick setup The ship is lightly armoured, relying on its stealth capabilities for quick, precise strikesĪs above.
