Eclipse Vanguard (ship)

Redesigned using the same combat-ready cockpit used by the new-look Nova, the Eclipse replaces the rotatable engines with a support structure that allows it to carry more weapons - effectively sacrificing the manoeuvrability of the dog-fighter for enough fire-power to be devastating against both small- and medium-sized ships.

This sacrifice does make the ship vulnerable to more specialised dog-fighters and interceptors, but nonetheless both the Federal and Republic navy has found the new Eclipse to be a worthy addition to their fleets, with Argon ship designers once again leading the race to design ships effective for both personal and military use.
