===History===
During the early 3080s, the [[VIII Hastati Sentinels]] were given a squad of Angerona suits to test out.  The Eighth were called to the world of [[Shipka]] to handle Capellan backed militants who were terrorizing the planet's Foxborough continent.  The Sentinels had sent in two [[battle armor]] squads into an area to scout for the enemy.  The Capellans were equipped with [[Ying Long]] suits, and had ambushed one of the Hastati squads of [[Purifier]] Battle Armor while investigating a town.  The other Squad, equipped with Angeronas, watched its fellow soldiers get wiped out.  Then they regrouped, stalked the militants in full stealth and cut down the two squads of Ying Longs. Only three of the militants managed to escape the Republic Angeronas.  The suit's performance on Skipka helped to increase its popularity among Republic troops.<ref name="TRO:3085p10+">''Technical Readout: 3085'', pp. 10-11, "Angerona Scout Suit"</ref>

The Angerona drops the usual [[Jump Jets]] most suits its size usually employ in exchange for a higher rate of ground speed.  It can also be transported by either BattleMech or [[APC|Armored Personnel Carrier]].<ref name="TRO:3085p10+"/>

*; Aegis Point Defense Suit: Based on the Angerona, this suit introduced in [[Introduction Year::3132]]<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/7388/aegis-point-defense-suit-standard Master Unit List Profile for the Aegis Point Defense Suit (Standard)]</ref> is a testbed for the [[RISC]] [[Advanced Point Defense System]] for use on battle armor. The Aegis is frequently used to thicken the anti-missile defenses of the ''[[Ares (OmniMech)|Ares]]'' BattleMech. Ground speed and armor protection remains the same as the standard Angerona, but the camo system was removed to make room for the APDS. The Aegis suit retains the anti-personnel weapon mount as its only offensive option.
