==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Aithon Assault Transport''' is a Clan heavy infantry transport first produced by Swedenborg Heavy Industries in [[3084]] for [[Clan Hell's Horses]]. Created as a new design, the Aithon serves as a replacement for the various vehicles that the Clan is no longer able to produce. The Aithon is slow, but it is a well-armored design that sports 12.5 tons of [[Technology Rating|advance tech]] Ferro-Lamellor Armor. In addition to its damage-reducing armor, the vehicle's vulnerable traction system is protected with a 10-ton [[Armored Motive System]].

The Aithon's main weapon is its [[Model LT-Max Long Tom Artillery Cannon]], the forward-mounted weapon principally used to blast away at bunkers and other defensive positions.  The Cannon has three tons of ammunition which are protected by [[CASE]].  For close-quarters combat, the Aithon relies on its four turret-mounted Medium Pulse Lasers.<ref name=TRPp81f />
