Concieved as a direct successor to the Atreus, the Great Eagle begins life with the same weapons, but makes several modernizing shifts. The use of N-gauss weapons to replace fore NAC-25s is one such change, and the deletion of anti-fighter lasers in exchange for anti-capital and anti-dropship weapons also features impressively-indeed, each aft quarter has eight large capital lasers. The ships point defense girds were a subject of heated debate but the PRO-PD camp won out in spectacular style, not just preserving the PD grid but adding to it's effectiveness by using true AMS systems instead of small lasers.
In transportation, it sweeps away all other comers, using it's massive carriage capacity. 24 fighters, 144 battlemechs, and over 1300 jump infantry ready to combat drop into a hot zone make for a reinforced regiment of combat troops. Eight dropship collars provide extra carrying capacity, cargo volume, or a built-in anti-fighter escort. Three assault dropships and one carrier are permanently assigned as escorts for doctrinal purposes.
