The Eagle spacecraft is a modular transport and utility vehicle deployed to the Moonbase Alpha facility. The Eagle, in it’s different configurations, carries out all crew and equipment transfers to and from the base. It also serves a defensive and scientific function as required.
The Eagles are maintained by the technical section on Alpha. The base also has the facilities to fabricate new Eagles as required. A large underground hanger provides housing for the bases’ complement of thirty vehicles. Eagles are transported through the hanger complex to the bases’ launch pads as required.
