The ship is capable of operating a small number of VTOL drone aircraft such as the Fruit Fly, which can be maintained and repaired using onboard facilities. However, the ship has also been observed operating larger VTOLs such as the Osprey as well as fixed-wing aircraft such as the Strike Hawk. Aerie class ships are lightly armed, with its only offensive weapons being a pair of 60mm cannons for self-defense and long range artillery support. Defensively, the ship is equipped with cruiser-grade armor as well as a LAMs system and torpedo interceptor batteries. WARNNING: Psionic analysis of the ship has revealed a greater than standard psionic capability, with visual sightings confirming the presence of a psionic amplifier device mounted atop the superstructure. This is supported by further reports that the Aeries commonly acts a flagship or key relay node for the AF control network. It is to be reminded that the use of psionics in proximity to such nodes is strictly forbidden, and human personnel are to refrain from entering into close proximity to such nodes.
