Peregrine Attack VTOL was one of two VTOLs ever build by the Blackwell, designed for the Wolf's Dragoons, yet soon made available for general public. It wasn't very successful because of it's high price, low maneuverability, and unreliable components. Near 3020 three houses used Peregrines - Kurita, Liao and Marik, although in all of them the VTOL served in reserves or police forces.
Original task for Peregrine was to guard land transports and secure the drop zones, although because of extremely short range weaponry and thin armor the VTOLs looses were unacceptably high.
