The X-49 was General Resource's ultimate manned fighter; stolen by the Ouroboros in 2045. After it was stolen it became one of the Ouroboros' main weapons. It was developed with sophisticated jamming abilities, equipped with standard COFFIN system (Opto-neuron piloting system; artificial neural network), and designed with new propulsion system using Aeon Particle.

A bi-box-wing supersonic flying wing design with an immensely powerful onboard Laser Cannon. It draws its amazing power from Aeon Generators in its area of operation during the mission Self Awareness. It is specially designed to be piloted by Rena Hirose and to be carried and launched from the UI-4053 Sphyrna airborne carrier.

In 2045, during the Corporate War, Rena Hirose had defected to the Ouroboros and flew the X-49 against UPEO forces. The Night Raven is responsible for completely destroying Megafloat. Megafloat was destroyed after one shot from the Night Raven's Laser Cannon. After betrayl within the Ouroboros itself the X-49 is later shot down by a Pilot A.I.
