The Falcon presents a sleek, aerodynamic profile optimized for both atmospheric flight and the vacuum of space. Its 12-meter length incorporates a durable spaceframe designed for survivability without sacrificing performance. The overall shape is aggressive yet refined, featuring either gracefully curved or sharply forward-swept main wings that seamlessly integrate the prominent EID nacelles.

These nacelles, housing the advanced impulse engines, often glow subtly with operational energy. The hull is finished in a non-reflective, matte silver-gray plating, accented with trim in Imperial Republic Navy or Midnight Blue along wing edges, dorsal spine, and nacelle housings. Illuminated impulse vents glow with cool blue or white light near the engines and thrusters. The cockpit features a wide, panoramic transparisteel canopy offering exceptional pilot visibility.

Performance & Role

Equipped with an Enhanced Impulse Drive, high-output maneuvering thrusters, and a fast Class 1.0 hyperdrive motivator, the Falcon is among the fastest and most agile ships in the fleet. It serves as a space superiority fighter, interceptor, and rapid-strike craft deployed from carriers or planetary bases. Its precision-focused arsenal and unmatched agility make it ideal for high-value target elimination and fleet defense.
