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. The fund was used to continue funding Project Eclipse for the UEE Military. 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. 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. Since its introduction, it has distinguished itself as the most advanced stealth bomber in the UEE arsenal, with over three dozen successful operations. Īfter 2 years of extensive field tests, the Aegis Eclipse went into service in 2932. The Eclipse's advanced hull system is adaptable to environments thanks to multiple wing configurations that adjust to space or atmospheric flight. The arrowing design, massive firepower, and cutting-edge clandestine technology of their design easily surpassed the competition. The Navy needed a ship that could strike quickly before the enemy detected their presence or soften up strategic targets in anticipation of a larger attack. Military casualties were mounting in cases of direct combat with Vanduul capital ships. In 2930, the UEE Navy was in need of a more advanced stealth bomber to use specifically in defensive operations against the Vanduul. Imperator Coley requested bids for a classified stealth bomber to have as a cautionary defensive measure should another Cold War arise between the Humans and Xi'an. At the time, the administration felt thatĭespite the efforts to mend ties with the Xi'an, the species longer lives resulted in lingering hostilities towards the UEE under the Messer reign. The Eclipse was commissioned under the previous administration on the orders of Imperator Coley. During atmospheric flight, the wings of the Eclipse can fully expand and deploy smaller fins around its body to improve aerodynamics.

During Zero-G space flight, the Eclipse typically adopts the compact wing position in order to create a slightly smaller profile for harder detection. Multiple Wing Configurations: The Wings can be adjusted to space or atmospheric flight to adapt to the environment.Inconspicuous twin engines are moulded into the shape of the hull, weapons are stored internally until they're ready for use. Small Cross Section: The arrowing design of Eclipse allows the ship to stay stealthy.After extensive service with the UEE, this high-tech military equipment is making its debut on the civilian market for 2947. Concealed engines and internally-stored weapons allow the Eclipse to stealthily deliver its payload with a minimum of risk of counter-attack. The Aegis Eclipse is a mid-range stealth bomber designed for tactical torpedo strikes on installations or large ships.
