The Aigaion-class heavy command cruiser is a giant combat aircraft from the Ace Combat Infinity world.
Description
Frequently called "Moby Dick", the Aigaion is a heavy command cruiser escorted by a duo of Kottos craft providing jamming protection and two Gyges craft providing additional anti-air power. It is armed with an assortment of anti-air weapons and missile batteries. Most notably, it also comes equipped with the Nimbus missiles - large and highly powerful cruise missiles that explode in mid-air very similarly to the shells fired by Stonehenge cannons.[1]
History
The Aigaion were first devoloped by an unknown nation's military to cut down the number of aircralt they deploy. Seeing this, the USEA Federation decided to mass products it for its sheer power and carrying Nimbus missiles. The Aigiaon were first seen during Operation Override when it was notice by AWACS SkyEye when he deect it at high altitude. The Aigaion with its escort were carrying QFA-44(Camilla) with 8 MQ-90L to the battlefield in Tokyo to help the usean army battle the UNF. While the Bone Arrow Squadron and Ridgeback Squadron were battling the QFA-44 and and its escort, the other units attack the Aigaion to the point its serevely damage. After the QFA-44 was destroyed, both squadron head to it to finsh it off. THe Aigion tried to figt back, but were later destroyed, at the end the battle.
Multiplayer
Outside of the story campaign of Ace Combat Infinity, the Aigaion, Kottos, and Gyges also appear as enemy units in Moby Dick Pursuit I, a multiplayer mission that appears at random after the completion of a different mission. Besides a few bandits flying in the airspace, the five airships are the only targets, and net thousands of points to players that destroy their weak spots. The mission does not even feature an emergency mission update.
Trivia
- The aircraft's nickname comes from Moby Dick, a giant whale from the eponymous novel by Herman Melville.
- A special Aigaion with a crimson body was unveiled in the event Aces at Operation: "Digital Hollywood", where it was described as a "more formidable" variant of the standard cruiser.
- An even more formidable and aggressive Aigaion with a golden paintjob appears in the very rare Moby Dick III version of the special emergency mission. This one replaces the Nimbus cruise missiles with missile stopping lasers, just like those of the Quox UAVs.
- Due to the fact that Moby Dick appears in both campaign and its respective Special Raid Mission, the existence of Moby Dick Pursuit II and III, and the Mission Update of Kottos and Gyges, it is shown more than one Aerial Fleet exists, unlike the Estovakian Aerial Fleet, and that Kottos and Gyges are used on their own at least once.
