 XR-900 Geopelia

 

Description
The XR-900 Geopelia is Neucom's answer to the Night Raven. XR-900s were just starting production at the end of the war. Very similar to the X-49 in design, possiblly showing espionage, it itself is a bi-wing hyperjet using an Aeon Particle reactor and heavy laser cannon as its main weapon. Geopelia's flight characteristics are a little more unstable compared to the Night Raven, thanks to the fact that vertical stabilizers are not incorporated. This may also be one of the reasons that the XR-900 is slightly faster than the X-49 but carries the same payload.

The XR-900 Geopelia did see action once during the Corporate War. In late 2045, a group of XR-900 lifted off from a Neucom Air Base and flew to Port Edwards. At this point, the aircrafts began inflicting heavy damage to the city with laser ordinance. The General Resource Defense Force dispatched an AI Pilot to deal with them. After finally hacking into one of the XR-900 Geopelia, the pilot destroyed the other Geopelia. The XR-900s were believed to have been pre-programmed by the terrorist group Ouroboros, but nothing has been confirmed. (Ace Combat 03: Electrosphere).
