In late 2017 Whistler surprised Fenspace when they requested landing permission for ''Eagle One'' and ''Eagle Two'' at Moonbase Alpha, showing of their latest product to a not completely surprised public (they had called the press to Moonbase Alpha for a bigger story). Handing over the two Eagles to the public of Moonbase Alpha, they announced that they would produce these craft for everyone who would want one or two of them.
Developed completely in secret the Eagle was the answer to a problem that plagued Fenspace since the end of the Boskone War. The lack of an standartized intermediate sized space craft, as most vessels build during the War were either fighters or large scale craft. While Whistler and others offered container craft some people wished for something more ruggerized than a container.
Remembering ''Space: 1999'' it was quickly decided that the Eagle would be perfect for this job, especially since if could be outfitted with custom pods, which could be build from ISO containers. This in turn allowed the Eagle to be used as small scale transport using normal containers.
Whistler also decided to try and mass produce the Eagle by using as much hard tech as possible and only waving the essentials. As such the Eagle class has only a low number of quirks and can be serviced without any handwavium handy.
==Class Quirks:==
*''Every landing you can walk away from:'' From time to time an Eagle will have a crashlanding, but in 99% of these crashlanding the only thing hurt will be the pride of the pilots and the Eagle can launch again after resetting the engine controls.
==Trivia:==
*''Eagle One'' of Moonbase Alpha has the worst history of crashlandings of all Eagles. It crashes about every two weeks and the crew has painted an image of Launchpad McQuack on the cockpit.
