The Eggeater was designed after the Mercenary forces started using Banana Boats to send their forces into action and was so called because it was supposed to hunt down and destroy the eggs that the Banana Boats launched. Not as large as the Sternail and more manoeuvrable, the Eggeater has a large laser cannon as its primary weapon. Unfortunately it was more easily destroyed than the larger Sternail.
