The Tabanid is the fastest of the Hive fighters, designed as an interceptor and to perform quick slashing attacks against enemy forces. It also carries a Beagle Active Probe so it can cut through enemy jamming. Protection is provided by nine tons of Heavy Ferro-Aluminum armor. The Tabanid is controlled by an Improved Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System instead of a human pilot.
