The ''Arion'' was designed as a fast moving harasser able to use its limited array of weaponry to snipe enemy units it encountered. However, due to its size and limited space, the ''Arion'' would leave Warriors questioning the value of its design and, to some extent, the value of QuadVees as a whole. Initial appearances of the QuadVee allowed Clan Hell's Horses commanders to bid a QuadVee as a "vehicle" in trials using ''[[zellbrigen]]''. This allowed commanders to double their forces with 'Mechs due to Vehicle Stars typically consisting of ten units, as opposed to five in a 'Mech Star; vehicles are typically deployed in pairs and two constitute a [[Point (Formation)|Point]].

During the late 3130s, the ''Arion'' was only used briefly in a few battles, starting on [[Derf]] in [[3136]] in a [[Trial of Possession]] with [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. Used in an all-QuadVee [[Binary]] with other designs of its kind, the Binary fared poorly due to uncertainty towards how to properly use the design and not play into the flaws inherent in the QuadVee's design. It was successful in its supporting role in the battle on [[Weingarten]] in [[3139]] when Clan Hell's Horses faced off against elements of the [[2nd Tyr Assault (Rasalhague Dominion)|Second Tyr Assault Cluster]] from the [[Rasalhague Dominion]]. In a less successful effort, a pair of ''Arion''s were used as part of a Vehicle Star of the Horses' [[91st Mechanized Assault (Clan Hell's Horses)|91st Mechanized Assault Cluster]] raid of the Dominion world of [[Gunzburg]]. In this raid, the star was crippled but the QuadVee's unique ability to transform into BattleMechs allowed them to withdraw under their own power from the oncoming defenses of the [[2nd Freemen (Clan Ghost Bear)|Second Freemen]].<ref name=tro3145:tc2728/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p.114 - Arion - Entry includes same information.</ref>
