==Description==
The '''Katya''' Ground Assault Craft is a [[conventional fighter]] designed by Ceres Metals Industries for the [[Capellan Confederation]] in the mid-3060s. The inexpensive craft was designed as a low-cost garrison aircraft to help the Confederation's [[Home Guard (Capellan Confederation)|Home Guard]].  Built using components of the Guardian STOL Fighter, Ceres made the design attractive to the [[Strategios]] by lowering the cost of parts to maintain the aircraft. The fighter began production on [[Capella]], which was later expanded to [[Tikonov]] by [[3067]].<ref name=H:HLp161>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 161: "C-904 Kayta Ground Assault Craft"</ref>

Designed as a short-range strike fighter and also to keep the craft from becoming an easy victim over the battlefield, the Kayta's designers deliberately provided the craft with only two tons of fuel and a meager one and a half tons of armor. Powered by a conventional Turbine engine, the craft is able move speedily across the battlefield with some hopes of avoiding combat it was not designed to handle.<ref name=H:HLp161/>
