Originally named the ''Striking Moongoose'', the '''''Chaeronea''''' boasts impressive first strike capacity for a light [[AeroSpace Fighter]].
  
Originally developed by [[Clan Mongoose]] as a lighter and faster version of [[Clan Snow Raven]]'s ''[[Issus|Stooping Raven]]'', the design was secured by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] after they [[Trial of Annihilation|absorbed]] Clan Mongoose. Unwilling to use a craft bearing the name of a defeated and thus unworthy Clan, [[ilKhan]] [[Victoria Ward]]'s [[Uniform Designation Protocols]] allowed the Jaguars to rename and excise the fighter of its "taint" and step up production. Quickly spreading to the ''[[touman]]s'' of all other Clans, the ''Chaeronea'' was rendered obsolete after the introduction of the ''[[Bashkir]]'' [[OmniFighter]], but continues to see heavy service among the more resource-poor Clans.<ref name=TRO3067-160-161/>

One of the quickest aerospace fighters ever designed, the unique combination of its high speed and unexpectedly powerful and long ranged [[ER PPC]] make the ''Chaeronea'' highly effective at reconnaissance and as a first strike fighter. The 225-rated [[fusion engine]], three tons of fuel and 10 [[double heat sink]]s gives the design impressive endurance, with its only let-down its minimal three tons of armor plating.<ref name=TRO3067-160-161/>

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
Built around a single nose-mounted [[Series 1B]] [[ER PPC]] while most of its competitors of the same weight mount only smaller and shorter ranged lasers, the ''Chaeronea'' can hold its own against larger craft, at least while its armor holds out.<ref name=TRO3067-160-161/>

==Variants==
*; ''Chaeronea'' 2 : An attempt to improve the ''Chaeronea''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s lack of armor, it replaces the [[ER PPC]] with four [[ER medium laser]]s, two per wing, allowing use of an additional two tons of armor.<ref name=TRO3067-160-161/> BV (1.0)= 1,394<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 26</ref> BV(2.0)=1,381<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 286</ref>

*; ''Chaeronea'' 3 : Exclusively fielded by the Snow Ravens, this variant again drops the [[ER PPC]] and uses an [[XL engine]] to free up weight for an [[ER large laser]] in each wing and an additional three [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name=TRO3067-160-161/> BV (1.0)= 1,488<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 27</ref> BV(2.0)=1,450<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 287</ref>
 
 
 
*; ''Chaeronea'' 4 : This [[Jihad]]-era variant carries a single [[ER large laser]] tied into a [[targeting computer]]. It also carries a [[light active probe]] and [[light TAG]] system. BV(2.0)=988<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 288</ref>
