Aithon

The Aithon Assault Transport is a Clan heavy infantry transport first produced by Swedenborg Heavy Industries in 3084 for Clan Hell's Horses. Created as a new design, the Aithon serves as a replacement for the various vehicles that the Clan is no longer able to produce. The Aithon is slow, but it is a well armored design which sports 12.5 tons of advance tech Ferro-Lamellor Armor. In addition to its damage reducing armor, the vehicle's vulnerable traction system is protected with a 10-ton Armored Motive System.

One of the vehicle's principal features is its Infantry Bay, which is able to handle upwards to 10 tons worth of troops.

Since being introduced into service, the Hell's Horses have distributed these machines into its Assault Clusters.

Weapons and Equipment
The Aithon's main weapon is its Model LT-Max Long Tom Artillery Cannon, the forward-mounted weapon principally used to blast away at bunkers and other defensive positions. The Cannon has three tons of ammunition which is protected by CASE. For close-quarters combat, the Aithon relies on its four turret mounted Medium Pulse Lasers.
