AETOS

Anti-Earthbound Tyrannos Orbital System (AETOS) is a massive orbital device designed to destroy anyone not aligned with Mechanos. It takes the form of massive vertical columns dropped down on the surface of the Earth from orbit that lead to a quick and gruesome death. The Promethean Field hides humans from targeting by AETOS, allowing them to survive on the surface and bring the fight to the enemy. Anyone outside the field is usually killed in short order. The failure of Project Starfall in 2077 is due to the coordinated strike launched by Mechanos, which used Crius airborne attackers to hit human Promethean Fields, exposing the Outposts deployed and crushing them before they could acquire and destroy the AETOS.
