− The '''Aeron''' attack VTOL was derived from prototypes created by the [[Word of Blake]] at the beginning of the [[Jihad]] era. These experimental models mounted a new vector thrust propulsion system on a '''[[Hawk Moth]]''' chassis. It was thought that this method of propulsion would prove less vulnerable to damage than conventional rotor blades. Early versions of the Aeron were first deployed by the Blakists as part of operations on [[Outreach]] in late [[3067]]. However, experience showed the vector-thrust system to be less rugged than was hoped, and the Blakists abandoned the concept.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp12+"/> + The '''''Aeron''''' attack VTOL was derived from prototypes created by the [[Word of Blake]] at the beginning of the [[Jihad]] era.

Defensive equipment includes a [[Guardian ECM Suite]], which allows the craft to both jam sophisticated electronic detection gear to interdict enemy signals. Physical protection consists of 3.5 tons of Durallex Super Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, concentrated to protect the crew and the relatively fragile fusion engine.
