History: Created during the first Human-Sagittarius War (and served in the following two), the MLT-1200A (Medium/Light Transport) Eaglehawk ship fleet served under the command of Admiral Janette S. Parker. In one battle, against a force almost 35:1, Admiral Parker successfully fended off an attack and saved the planet of Ceteus A23 with only seven Eaglehawks (and she was aboard the ship at the front). The Eaglehawk has a crew of two, which consists of a pilot and a gunner. Fast, agile, and packing a powerful punch, the Eaglehawk quickly became the best friend of many crews who flew it. Primarily meant for atmospheric attacks, the Eaglehawk could also operate in space if needed. Admiral Parker would later go on to command a small task force of Eaglehawks during the second and third HS Wars, and eventually became the highest-ranking fighter commander (she reached the rank of Colonel Grade Three by the time of her death). However, her luck would not hold, and on September 14, 2617, she and her gunner were shot down over the dunes of Ghostbait G12. Her squadron, nicknamed "The Roses" (seeing as roses looked beautiful but were full of thorns) would go on to become the highest-scoring squadron in EDAF (Earth Defense Air Force) history. Their final kill count, with Admiral Parker at the top, was over 27,000 confirmed kills.
