Tabanid

The Tabanid is the lightest of the Hive drone Aerospace Fighters used by the Word of Blake. It is also the fastest of the Hive fighters, designed both as an interceptor and for performing quick slashing attacks against enemy forces. It also carries a Beagle Active Probe so it can cut through enemy jamming. Protection is provided by nine tons of Heavy Ferro-Aluminum armor. The Tabanid is controlled by an Improved Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System instead of a human pilot.
