| Role Details:

More a fighter than a bomber, this is the secondary assault craft the Aera rely on, after the Agis. These light assault craft are commonly seen as escorts to the larger, more dangerous Agis class assault corvettes, though it is not uncommon to see wings of Areus detach to spearhead assaults on subcapitals and support vessels. While larger and not as nimble as fighters or interceptors, the Areus is perfectly well equipped to engage any smaller craft foolish enough to wander near its gun sights. Armament on the Areus isn't well suited to assaulting capital vessels directly, but is entirely sufficient for destroying subcapitals, support craft, or softening up craft too large to destroy outright with the limited payload available. The Areus is almost never seen in defensive operations outside of the aforementioned escort of larger strike forces.
