X-49 Night Raven



 X-49 Night Raven

  

Description
In 2032, the X-49 Night Raven was the "Darkness of Enigma's"(General Resource Limited's "Skunk Works" development team(DOE)) ultimate fighter. Using advanced technologies, such as Aeon Particle Turbines(APTs), six pulse detonation jet engines, and heavy LASER ordinance, the X-49 easily out classed any other aircraft in existence. The Night Raven also has sophisticated jamming abilities, making it almost invisible to all types of sensors at long range. After it was stolen in 2045 by the terrorist group Ouroboros, it became their main weapon carried and was launched from the UI-4053 Sphryna airborne carrier. The X-49 features a bi-wing ("box") hypersonic flying wing design with an immensely powerful on board LASER Cannon. It draws its amazing power directly from it new propulsion system, boosted(along with performance) when in the vicinity of high output Aeon Generators(Self Awareness). This system capitalized on the existence of an aeonosphere caused by the global use of AEons for air purification. It was also specially designed to be piloted by Rena Hirose with a custom-fit COFFIN system, who was the General's young test pilot and experiment. This is a prototype version four featuring the Optical (Opto) Neuron Synapse Interface (ONSI) which is a direct connection to the pilot's nervous system via the base of the neck. The location of the COFFIN is another departure from a typical fighter. Upon inspection of the Raven's snub nose, you will find the cockpit nestled (and facing) aft between the two Aeon turbines.

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, using just one strafing run with its heavy laser to nearly cut Megafloat in half. After a betrayal within the Ouroboros itself, the X-49 was later shot down by a Pilot A.I., codenamed "Nemo".
