Prior to the introduction of the ''Ares'', the HAF was utilizing converted merchant cargo craft modified with additional armor or weapons. The only way these stopgap solutions could get through a concentrated fighter screen was through sheer numbers. Mission losses well in excess of 25% were common. In addition, the modifications to these craft left them with very little cargo space. The ''Ares'' provided solutions for both of these problems, mounting powerful defensive armament and thick armor, while still being able to carry a sixty-five ton tank onto the battlefield. <ref name=XTRO>Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2, p. 14, ''Ares Landing''</ref> == Armament == The ''Ares'' carries four [[medium laser]]s and a pair of [[LRM-15|LRM-15s]].<ref name=XTRO/> == Cargo == The ''Ares'' has a single cargo bay, with up to 65 tons capacity. <ref name=XTRO/> == Variants == The ''Ares'' saw several variants over its lifespan.
