Harasser

Harassers, also known as Horseflies, are small Aircraft destined to support larger airships. Harasses can be used as either personal support units for individual soldiers or mass deployed from larger carrier vessels. 
== Armaments ==
Every Harasser is equipped with a simple AI with highly advanced targeting subroutines. 
A maimer unit, the Harasser uses its small and unique designed blades to wound and distract enemies. It can use sharp talons to cut and slash at wrists, leg tendons, necks and eyes. Or alternatively can be equipped with beam weaponry, two small laser cannons, as heavier ordnance would decrease maneuverability. However, if equipped with explosive payloads, a flight of Harassers can present a real threat to capital ships.
== Combat role ==
Harassers are fast, maneuverable, computer-guided strike craft launched from portable launch pads individually or launched en masse from carriers. They may deploy to engage enemy strike craft or ground units. 
Some of these fighters have independent fire-control circuits, which allow them to continue firing even if the enemy jams the command signal or destroys the Harasser's robotic brain. 
== Construction ==
Harassers are constructed in an automated manufacturing plant connected to the carrier's hangar, where diligent engineers see to their maintenance and launch operations. When deployed, the strike craft attack and retreat rapidly to the carrier for repairs and rearmament. Harasser deployment was improved with the deployment of the graviton catapult, which later became the portable launch platform usable by soldiers on the field to launch a single Harasser.
