Description[edit]
Originally named the Striking Mongoose, the Chaeronea boasts impressive first strike capacity for a light aerospace fighter.
Originally developed by Clan Mongoose as a lighter and faster version of Clan Snow Raven's Stooping Raven, the design was secured by Clan Smoke Jaguar after they absorbed Clan Mongoose. Unwilling to use a craft bearing the name of a defeated and thus unworthy Clan, ilKhan Victoria Ward's Uniform Designation Protocols allowed the Jaguars to rename and excise the fighter of its "taint" and step up production. Quickly spreading to the toumans of all other Clans, the Chaeronea was rendered obsolete after the introduction of the Bashkir OmniFighter, but continues to see heavy service among the more resource-poor Clans.[3]
One of the quickest aerospace fighters ever designed, the unique combination of its high speed and unexpectedly powerful and long ranged ER PPC make the Chaeronea highly effective at reconnaissance and as a first strike fighter. The 225-rated fusion engine, three tons of fuel and 10 double heat sinks gives the design impressive endurance, with its only let-down its minimal three tons of armor plating.[3]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
Built around a single nose-mounted Series 1B ER PPC while most of its competitors of the same weight mount only smaller and shorter ranged lasers, the Chaeronea can hold its own against larger craft, at least while its armor holds out.[3]
Variants[edit]
- Chaeronea 2
- An attempt to improve the Chaeronea's lack of armor, it replaces the ER PPC with four ER medium lasers, two per wing, allowing use of an additional two tons of armor.[3] BV (1.0)= 1,394[6] BV(2.0)=1,381[7]
- Chaeronea 3
- Exclusively fielded by the Snow Ravens, this variant again drops the ER PPC and uses an XL engine to free up weight for an ER large laser in each wing and an additional three double heat sinks.[3] BV (1.0)= 1,488[8] BV(2.0)=1,450[9]
- Chaeronea 4
- This Jihad-era variant carries a single ER large laser tied into a targeting computer. It also carries a light active probe and light TAG system. BV(2.0)=988[10]
