The Ceyx is a Syaran single-engine canard delta wing multirole fighter aircraft developed in the 1990s. Based heavily on the 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 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. Despite its popularity with pilots, the Ceyx's performance during the war was viewed as dissapointing by the Commonality Air Force; the Ceyx lacked the maneuverability to effectively dogfight with the Cacertian designed and 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.

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.
