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.
