The Eclipse is armed with two fixed size 2 ballistic weapons and three size 9 pylon mounts. It also comes equipped with state of the art scan diffusing technology. It has been the UEE Navy’s preferred first strike weapon against the Vanduul for several years.

The Aegis Eclipse has operated in the shadows, defending the borders of the ‘verse from the Vanduul. It was just now declassified in an attempt to increase transparency with the Xi’an. As part of its declassification it has been made available for purchase by Citizens.

Aegis created the Eclipse as part of a military bid to build a spacecraft that could attack the enemy before it could be detected. The invention of the Eclipse allowed the Navy to reach out and strike enemies in order to soften strategic targets ahead of a larger attack. With its multiple wing configurations it can also easily transition from a compact wing configuration to a more aerodynamic configuration in atmospheric flight.
