The Xiphon was a high-performance machine that required constant micro-management by its Astartes pilot to maintain equilibrium in the aircraft due to an engine system that was designed to operate both in the void and a wide variety of atmospheres. In addition, it was too lightweight and under-powered. This often frustrated Xiphon pilots, though they still appreciated its excellent turning speeds, agility, and touch responsive controls.{{Fn|3}}
While introduced during the Great Crusade-era, the Xiphon continues to be used by modern Space Marine [[ChaoterChapter]]s.{{Fn|4}}
