==Overview==
Featuring a combination of speedarmor, mobility, and firepower, the Aethon was widely used for reconnaissance and flanking manoeuvres, allowing squadrons to race through dense terrain and hit enemy vehicles on their sides. However, its commendable performance was offset by high fuel and ammunition consumption. These issues kept the Aethon reserved for flanking and tactical interdiction.{{Fn|1a}}
So great was the prestige of these machines that only veterans of dedicated pioneer companies were selected to pilot them, ensuring that each pilot in a patrol was experienced at tracking enemy forces, assessing local terrain, and thwarting ambushes.{{Fn|1a}}
