−	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.
