Description
Designed in first years of the thirty-second century, the Aquila Aerospace Fighter was a joint-project between Oriente Protectorate and Rim Commonality. The project that lead to the building the Aquila had the goal of developing a fast, long range Aerospace Fighter which could hit with high accuracy.
Taking advantage of its long-range guns, the Aquila is used in the role of a sniper, conducting attacks against targets which are unescorted such as Small Craft and DropShips. After being produced in 3104, the fighter would first see action in 3105, during the Victoria War against Capellan Confederation. The fighter made a name for itself as part of the Protectorate's defense forces protecting Shuen Wan. Then unknown to the Confederation forces, the fighters were able to engage the invaders at long range. While only fight of it responding squadron survived the encounter, helping to convince the enemy forces withdraw from Shuen Wan.[5]
Weapons and Equipment
The Aquila's true qualities come from the fighter's speed and long-range firepower. The Aquila's frame is armored with 11 tons of ArcShield IX AO Ferro-Aluminum, giving the fighter responsible armor protection from incoming fighters. While the Aquila's true defense is its speed, which is able to move upwards to 11 gees of thrust thanks due to its Hermes 275-Rated Extra-Light Fusion Engine.
Its signature weapons makes the fighter stand part from others is its twin nose mounted Oriente MagCoil Model E Light Gauss Rifles been allotted three tons of ammunition. Backing up the Light Gausses is a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range Extended Range Medium Lasers, with one mounted each of the Aquila's wings.[6]
