Eagles Lost or Damaged

Intro

Details

• The Editor treats destroyed Eagles using the "verifiable" benchmark, but there is still a level of interpretation and uncertainty involved, so if a range is presented anywhere, the low end is considered "verifiable."
• However separating between the columns is sometimes subjective. Thus, this is the Editor's interpretation.
• "Totalled" = Loss w/SP (Salvage Potential), unless abandoned on a planet, in which case it is CL (Complete Loss).

Warnings

• The Editor is still looking closely at the episodes for all details, including regarding Eagles, so some numbers may be subject to change or addition.
• "Breakaway" counts are during and post-Breakaway

Key

• Loss = destroyed, permanenly stolen, left behind
• CL = Complete Loss (i.e. no salvage potential for Alpha)
• SP = Salvage Potential (destroyed, but perhaps some parts can be recovered)
• Dama = Damage
• M = Major (perhaps flyable, or perhaps only useful for salvage)
• m = minor (incomplete listings)
• ? = unknown or uncertain
• ## = large number

Notes

• MOLAD: One Eagle blows up with Alan on board (on the planet), and the Eagles on Alpha are breaking down (?), but all of that is reset, so those are not counted in the end.
• ATAP: A crashed Eagle is seen, but that is from the alternate timeline, not the mainline, and is thus not counted in the Table. Note: the alternates have apparently disassembled all the rest before that crash, for the alternates' bodies were not recovered.
• "War Games": Several(?) Eagles destroyed during the battles, but all is reset at the end of the episode, so none are counted in the Table.
• "Dragon's Domain": Tony Cellini detaches the passenger module then later discards the main frame and attaches the pilot module to the Ultra Probe. It seems like these parts are left behind, but it is perhaps possible another Eagle retrieved them. This Eagle is not considered a verifiable loss, but is listed as a 0-1 because it seems like there is a good chance it had to be left behind in their rush to return to the departing Moon.
• NANE: It is not clear (to the Editor) if the Eagle on the pad is actually destroyed by Magus or if the destruction is an illusion created by Magus.
• "Space Warp": Maya, while ill, delusional, and in another form, attempted to launch an Eagle while in a hangar, and at minimum damaged at least one or two Eagles. Though the damage was implied to be pretty bad, the Editor cannot be sure any Eagles were verifiably totalled or destroyed (though the one she was in probably was).

Conclusions

• Complete Losses (w/o even salvage opportunity) are 11-12; but if one includes the others that are destroyed/totalled (with some potential salvage opportunity), this increases the count to 20-22 Eagles lost to flight on Alpha.
• The Editor thus currently considers there to be 20 "verifiable" losses of flyable Eagles to Alpha, in the episodes.
• If all those with what the Editor calls Major Damage are also counted as unflyable (i.e. if the Alphans are unlucky enough that all of those additional Eagles are "totalled" too), the loss count climbs to 24-27.
