The result of a long-term effort by the [[LAAF]] to produce an [[Lyran Alliance|Alliance]] [[OmniFighter]], the massive '''''Eisensturm''''' is equally at home in space or atmosphere, intended to take the place of the aging ''[[Chippewa]]''.<ref name=TRO3067-156-157/>

Work began in [[3060]], and while the final [[OmniPod]] design was not yet ready until late [[3066]], a fixed-configuration R3 variant based on the primary configuration saw heavy action and considerable acclaim for its effectiveness against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and the [[Draconis Combine]] in the midst of the [[FedCom Civil War]]. Though officially an LAAF project, Lockheed/CBM shouldered much of the development cost in hopes of recouping the expenditure through lucrative contracts with the Lyran military as well as offering the ''Eisensturm'' for sale on the open market.<ref name=TRO3067-156-157/> The design was a tremendous success for its parent company. Lockheed executives enthusiastically dubbed the craft their "MoniFighter,"<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 92: Lockheed/CBM Profile</ref> and leading the company to design additional OmniFighters for the [[Morgenstern|medium]] and [[Sternensturm|light]] airframe markets.

The use of an [[GM 380]] [[XL engine]] and 19.5 tons of [[Donegal Omni-Sheath]] [[ferro-aluminum]] give the ''Eisensturm'' incredible protection, speed and maneuverability for its weight while freeing up 46 tons of [[pod space]] for a devastating volume of weaponry. Like many OmniFighters this pod space comes at the cost of the design’s heat-dissipation capabilities, carrying only 11 [[double heat sink]]s on its base chassis.<ref name=TRO3067-156-157/>

*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration's [[heavy Gauss rifle]] makes this variant decidedly nose heavy, supported by twin [[ER large laser]]s carried in each wing.

*; Alternate Configuration C : The C configuration features a mixture of autocannons and missiles, mounting an [[LRM-20]] and [[UAC/5]] in the nose, supported by twin [[SRM-6]]s in each wing. While [[Artemis IV]] systems boost the performance, the complete ammo dependence and lack of any energy weapon on this variant forces the fighter to withdraw once its two tons of autocannon rounds and four tons each of long and short range missiles are expended.

The after aspect of the ''Eisensturm'' is protected by an [[ER medium laser]] while a [[targeting computer]] improves the accuracy of all weapons. 15 double heat sinks take care of the heat.
