The '''''Tabanid''''' is the lightest of the ''[[Hive]]'' drone [[aerospace fighters]] used by the [[Word of Blake]]. It is also the fastest, designed both as an interceptor and for performing quick slashing attacks against enemy forces. The ''Tabanid'' is controlled by an [[Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System|Improved Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System]] instead of a human pilot.<ref name=jhst185>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 185</ref>

The ''Tabanid'' is equipped with a single [[ER large laser]] which allows the fighter to engage at long range and continue harrying a target without worrying about minimum range considerations. It also carries a [[Beagle active probe]] so it can cut through enemy jamming, and protection is provided by nine tons of [[heavy ferro-aluminum]] armor.<ref name=jhst185/>
