Description:

Inferno R1 Description

The initial counterstrike against an Eclipse cruiser division resulted in 100% casualties. Mounting four swarm turrets for the EA's vicious Stinger swarm missiles, the Eclipse is a nightmare to attack in a fighter or bomber at close range. A single round of Stingers is usually enough to shoot down a fighter. Even capital ships must be wary of her multiple light beam turrets - the Eclipse is very well armed for a ship of her size, although she pays for this with a low maximum speed.

[[Inferno: Nostos] Description]

The Eclipse is a very strong opponent with powerful offensive capabilities. Its three main armament types - swarm missiles, cluster and heavy flak guns, and the notorious 'Gattler', are very lethal against fighters that get too close. The Eclipse's anti-warship armament include two small EA rail-cannons and a single forward-mounted beam cannon. All this firepower in such a small frame does not come without a price, of course, as the Eclipse pays for this with a low engine output.
