The heaviest [[VTOL]] in SLDF service, the Cyrano was used to provide air support for ground forces and fly escort for [[Ripper (Combat Vehicle)|Ripper]] and [[Nightshade (Combat Vehicle)|Nightshade]] missions. However the factory which produced the vehicle, located on [[New Vandenberg]] within the [[Taurian Concordat]], was destroyed in [[2840]] in an act thought to have been perpetrated by [[Federated Suns]]-funded pirates. The [[Word of Blake]] later informed the Taurian government that it was actually the result of [[ComStar]] sabotage during [[Operation Holy Shroud]] and offered to make it right by rebuilding the factory, which they did in time for new Cyranos to be produced in [[3071]].<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 94–95: "Cyrano VTOL Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 198–199: "Ripper VTOL Profile"</ref> + The '''Cyrano''' was developed by the [[Star League]] in [[2622]].

This capability is supplemented by its [[Beagle Active Probe]], which has also made the Cyrano a good training vehicle. The downside is the VTOL's meager one ton of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.

A single forward [[anti-missile system]] provided additional protection against missiles, while a [[machine gun]] with a half-ton of ammunition covered the rear-mounted ramp used to debark the craft. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] interferes with enemy targeting systems, and the Cyrano Fury is protected by two tons of ferro-fibrous armor. To make room for all this equipment, a smaller engine was mounted.
