The Triad Industries Aeseptus is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of both remote controlled and autonomous operations developed for service with the Belfrasian Air Force and is the first unmanned vehicle in the Triad Industries' drone family, with the aircraft being further developed into the TI Sentinel and then onwards into the TI Guardian. Although both developments are significantly more capable than the Aeseptus, the Belfrasian government continue to operate the Aeseptus in a 'stood-down' role, retiring it from the Air Force in favour of operating it from the coast guard and air guard.
