Description: The "Winged Serpent God" is perhaps the most exotic starcraft ever designed by RRDI, standing as a testament to their superior developmental prowess in the field of starfighter technology over the past two centuries, since the earliest days of the Monarchy Skunkworks. Though lightly armed, it is incredibly compact and maneuverable for a fighter of its class. The twin engines displace a colossal ionic trail and the output-heavy reactor canonically often reads out as a capital craft on scanners; the 801 can be self-sufficient for days and sometimes weeks on end. Several independent systems and aftermarket components have also been added into its construction for a better edge. The newest hard-shell canopies use the metal Malybdochalkos instead of the former Gold Alloy, proving cheaper and more effective against nuclear, solar and ionic radiation. The entire flight system setup is controlled by a Mirage Cybernetics
A02S Motion Interface Package which maximizes pilot input and control, though it places an immense strain on the brain, causing frequent and common phantom pains (senses) of the aircraft in question itself as though it were an extension of the pilot's own body; this effect is proven to require long-term rehabilitation and medication to erase, which itself can prove consequential in other ways. Addiction to piloting the 801, even the refusal to leave it, is predicted after regular use spanning months or more. Comparable to even the Deathbell, it is truly the most advanced fighter of the 840's-ABY generation.
