     The Eagle Destroyer is the largest commonly ship fielded by
the Yaeger nation.  They do posses larger ships, the Dragon and
Superion Battleships, but those vessels are to large to fit into
the swirling tactics of the Yaeger, and will seldom be seen in
ordinary engagements.  The Eagle is designed to take on much
larger ships, particularly the Imperial Star Destroyers, but it
can also be used in ordinary combat situations.
     When flying against a Star Destroyer, the usual tactic is to
concentrate shields on the forward arc, and head straight in. 
The ship is fast and heavily armored enough to survive the
initial barrage, and get within torpedo range(as long as all of
the Star Destroyer's initial attacks were not directed
exclusively at the Eagle).  Once there, the Eagle may attempt to
maneuver a bit, to launch the Torpedoes at a weak point in the
target's shields, but Torpedoes are really powerful enough to
destroy just about any target.  However, they are large and slow,
taking a full round to travel to the target, and presenting a
Starfighter scale target for that period.  When fighting Star
Destroyers, at least one Eagle is usually destroyed for each
Victory I Star Destroyer, with more lost for the more advanced
craft.
     In other combat uses, the Eagle is quite effective, using
it's speed, power, and maneuverability to good results, though it
is slightly to large to really fit in to the Yaeger tactics.  The
Eagle has lately been supplanted by the Mazarin Class Destroyer,
though with the war on, both classes of ship are seeing plenty of
action.
     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.
