== Overview ==
The EID-Eagle is the Imperial Republic’s premier heavy strike and escort starfighter, developed in parallel to the lighter EID-Falcon. 
The EID-Falcon is a state-of-the-art multirole starfighter used across the Imperial Republic Navy. The Falcon was one of the earliest starfighter designs to incorporate the Enhanced Impulse Drive (EID) technology, providing it with superior sublight acceleration and responsiveness without sacrificing firepower or survivability.
Designed for durability, firepower, and battlefield coordination, the EID-Eagle is equipped with a dual-cockpit configuration, reinforced armor plating, and powerful enhanced impulse drives.


Armed with an impressive array of laser, heavy laser, and ion weaponry, along with missile and torpedo launchers, it can dominate both atmospheric and space engagements. 
At just 12 meters in length, the Falcon is compact, yet heavily equipped — fielding dual laser cannons, heavy lasers, ion cannons, and missile launchers — making it an agile but dangerous adversary in atmospheric or deep-space environments.
With its tractor beam system and heavy shielding, the Eagle can also conduct rescue, boarding, and recovery operations during fleet actions. 
Its silhouette evokes the regal strength of its namesake: wide-winged, lethal, and commanding. 
Preferred by elite strike wings and fleet command squadrons, the EID-Eagle serves as a cornerstone of Imperial Republic space superiority doctrine.

Though it lacks a cloaking device or docking bay capability, its planetary landing systems allow it to support both fleet operations and terrestrial campaigns, delivering pinpoint strikes and functioning as a forward scout, escort, or quick-response unit.
 
The Falcon's design philosophy reflects the Republic’s commitment to order through balance — it is a weapon of restraint, not brutality. Its precise capabilities and refined aesthetics have made it a favorite among elite pilots, especially in defensive formations and high-speed interception assignments.
 
Lightweight, lethal, and loyal to Republic ideals — the EID-Falcon is a symbol of measured strength, stability, and technological mastery.

EID-Falcon Starfighter

Overview

The EID-Falcon is a state-of-the-art multirole starfighter used across the Imperial Republic Navy. The Falcon was one of the earliest starfighter designs to incorporate the Enhanced Impulse Drive (EID) technology, providing it with superior sublight acceleration and responsiveness without sacrificing firepower or survivability.

At just 12 meters in length, the Falcon is compact, yet heavily equipped — fielding dual laser cannons, heavy lasers, ion cannons, and missile launchers — making it an agile but dangerous adversary in atmospheric or deep-space environments.

Though it lacks a cloaking device or docking bay capability, its planetary landing systems allow it to support both fleet operations and terrestrial campaigns, delivering pinpoint strikes and functioning as a forward scout, escort, or quick-response unit.

The Falcon's design philosophy reflects the Republic’s commitment to order through balance — it is a weapon of restraint, not brutality. Its precise capabilities and refined aesthetics have made it a favorite among elite pilots, especially in defensive formations and high-speed interception assignments.

Lightweight, lethal, and loyal to Republic ideals — the EID-Falcon is a symbol of measured strength, stability, and technological mastery.
