−	The '''Aesir''' was a post-Jihad design created by [[Clan Wolf]] as a cheap anti-aircraft platform, designed for their second-line occupation zone forces.  Slow and heavily armored, the '''Aesir''' was strictly made for defensive roles, serving as an anti-air turret and mobile gun emplacement - often deployed in full Stars to defend fixed assets. The design included [[CASE]] for added protection.<ref name=TRO:3145TC/><ref name=DADossiers200>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 200: "Karl Arias"</ref>	+	First introduced in [[3096]], this post-Jihad design was created by [[Clan Wolf]] as a cheap antiaircraft platform.  Slow and heavily armored, the '''Aesir''' is often set into static positions where its relatively slow speed is not considered a liability. The design also includes [[CASE]] for added protection. In addition to its primary role of air defense, the Aesir is often utilized as a mobile gun emplacement.
−	While initially produced for use in Clan Wolf's second-line formations, it spread beyond the Clan. [[Clan Wolf in Exile]] acquired plans for the vehicle via a [[Trial of Possession]] in [[3101]], and [[Clan Sea Fox]] sold some Aesirs to the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref name=TRO:3145TC/>	+	While initially produced for use in Clan Wolf's second line formations, it has since spread through out the [[Inner Sphere]]. [[Clan Wolf in Exile]] also produces this design, and [[Clan Sea Fox]] is known to sell it to any interested party. With the formation of the [[Wolf Empire]] production of the vehicle would be transferred to a former Free Worlds League military company new holdings.<ref name=TRO:3145TC/>
