The Yaeger nation's new atmospheric fighter, the Lammergeir is
set to take the place of modified Prowlers and Hunters in atmospheric combat situations.
Those Lammergeirs that have reached the front have been very
effective, ripping ground craft and infantry to shreds. The
Lammergeirs rely on modernized scramjets to provide atmospheric
motive power, and their distinctive wailing howl can be heard as
soon as they engage those engines.
The Lammergeir's swept wing formation gives it superior
handling when it has an atmosphere to bank against. That formation
also allows the Lammergeir to make truly spectacular maneuvers,
including a hammerhead dive at near full velocity that is quite
effective, when the air pressure doesn't rip the wings off. The
missile hardpoints are designed to mount either anti-starfighter
charge torpedoes of any configuration, or various other ant-surface
warheads, such as brilliant anti-tank submunitions, cluster bombs,
and fragmentation devices.
Wrathtech Technology is reportedly very interested in
acquiring the blueprints of the Lammergeir, in order to improve
their new Falchion fighter, though they
are not interested enough in the designs to jeopardize their
budding relationship with the Yaeger Yards.
Note: The cost listed is in a theoretical situation, where
the Yaeger ships are available without restriction. In most
scenarios, they should not be available at all, or at incredibly
inflated prices.
