The XR-900 Geopelia is a high agility, unmanned fighter. Very similar to the X-49 in design, the plane shares the same engine and intake layout. It's wing design is similar to the X-49 as they are both bi-wing jets, but the Geopelia does not have Vertical stabilizers. This allows for more unstable handling of the aircraft. The XR-900 is faster than the X-49 but carries the same payload. Also, like the X-49 the Geepelia's main weapon is it's Laser Cannon.

The XR-900 Geopelias are produced by Neucom Inc. at the end of the war in 2045.

The XR-900 Geopelia did see action once in History. In late 2045, a group of XR-900 lifted off from a Neucom Air Base and flew to Port Edwards. They then began to attack 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. These Geopelia were believed to be pre-programmed by the Ouroboros, but nothing has been confirmed.
