The '''Ceyx''' is a Syaran single-engine canard delta wing multirole fighter aircraft developed in the 1990s. Based heavily on the [[Ossoria|Ossorian]] [[T-35 Séideán]], the Ceyx was intended to serve as a light figther and replace the older [[Erinys]] for front line service.  
The '''Ceyx''' is a Syaran supersonic strategic bomber produced by [[Syara]] based on the [[Cacerta|Cacertian]] [[AFSB-2 Spettro Strategic Bomber]].  


The Ceyx was the first aircraft built by the Syaran Commonality following the [[Refusal War]]. Although considered a light fighter in the vein as the older Erinys, the Ceyx was a capable platform of its own right, capable of carrying 11 hardpoints, with a maximum speed of Mach 1.8. The Ceyx saw extensive service during the [[Zemplen War]], complimenting the Zephyr as Syara's secondary fighter aircraft. The Ceyx earned a mixed reptuation within the [[Commonality Air Force]] during the war. The Ceyx lacked the level of maneuverability to effectively dogfight with the [[Cacerta|Cacertian designed]] and [[Ruvelka|Ruvelkan operated]] [[AFASF-12 Drago Air Superiority Fighter]], and it lacked the stealth capabilities of the Zephyr leading to significantly higher losses; 133 Ceyx were lost compared to just 49 Zephyrs. Ceyx aircraft performed a variety of roles, from air superiority, interdiction, destruction of enemy air defenses, and ground support during the war.
The Ceyx operates on the same basic fuselage and structure of the original Spettro, modified with Syaran-designed  engine components, radar, avionics, and fire control systems. The Ceyx was first procured by the [[Commonality Air Force]] in 1996 by the purchase of thirty air frames in addition to technical designs to allow for Syaran domestic production. A total of 50 Ceyx have been produced by Syara since 1996; 48 are in active service with two aircraft lost due to accidents.


Although the Ceyx is intended to remain in service until the 2030s, the Commonality Air Force announced in 2018 that production of the Ceyx would cease. The last Ceyx fighter had been produced in 2014, after more than 650 had been built.
The Ceyx serves mostly as a maritime strategic bomber for Syara, meant to provide the [[Syaran Commonality Armed Forces]] with long range weapons capability and force projection into the Nuadan Ocean and beyond. Ceyx aircraft often operate in close conjunction with the [[Syaran Commonality Navy]] and are typically armed with an array of anti-ship missiles and air-to-surface missiles. The Ceyx saw limited usage during the [[Zemplen War]], mostly as a stand-off weapons platform for long range munitions.

The Ceyx is a Syaran supersonic strategic bomber produced by Syara based on the Cacertian AFSB-2 Spettro Strategic Bomber.

The Ceyx operates on the same basic fuselage and structure of the original Spettro, modified with Syaran-designed engine components, radar, avionics, and fire control systems. The Ceyx was first procured by the Commonality Air Force in 1996 by the purchase of thirty air frames in addition to technical designs to allow for Syaran domestic production. A total of 50 Ceyx have been produced by Syara since 1996; 48 are in active service with two aircraft lost due to accidents.

The Ceyx serves mostly as a maritime strategic bomber for Syara, meant to provide the Syaran Commonality Armed Forces with long range weapons capability and force projection into the Nuadan Ocean and beyond. Ceyx aircraft often operate in close conjunction with the Syaran Commonality Navy and are typically armed with an array of anti-ship missiles and air-to-surface missiles. The Ceyx saw limited usage during the Zemplen War, mostly as a stand-off weapons platform for long range munitions.
