==Description==
The '''''Scarab''''' drone [[aerospace fighter]] was used by the [[Word of Blake]] as a fighter-bomber. Protected by 10.5 tons of [[heavy ferro-aluminum]] armor and controlled by an [[Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System|Improved Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System]], the ''Scarab'' can carry seven standard or light air-to-air missiles, or two huge anti-ship missiles into combat. The [[Guardian ECM suite]] jams enemy targeting and control systems, allowing the ''Scarab''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s fellow ''[[Hive]]'' fighters to advance or retreat under electronic cover.<ref name=jhst185/>

To offset the inaccuracy of the Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System, the ''Scarab'' carries pulse lasers. Most of the heavy hitting power comes from the [[large pulse laser]]s mounted in each wing, but for close combat the pair of nose-mounted [[medium variable speed pulse laser]]s can inflict heavy damage as well.<ref name=jhst186/>
