Aries Mobile Suite

The Romefeller Aries-class mobile suite (AMS) was intended to act as a
high-altitude atmospheric interceptor and double up in a close air support
role.  In the first role, it didn't function very well-the Empire had plenty
of fighters and low orbit ships to take care of that.  However, it did serve
a valuable purpose in a CAS function.  Invaluable in the assault against the
Mogadishu Fortress, these craft were extremely manueverable and, working
in conjunction with marine suits and Leo's, were very effective in
crushing early opponents of the New Order.  Unfortunately, combat focus
shifted to outer space, an arena the Aries couldn't compete in.
