The '''''Charon''''' was an ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] purchased by the mercenary unit known as [[Hell's Black Aces]] from the [[Capellan Confederation]] at some point after accepting employment with the Confederation in [[3063]] and before [[3067]]. The contract accepted by the Black Aces in 3063 was unusually generous by Capellan standards, the reason for which became self-evident when [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] personally called for the Black Aces to rejoin the [[CCAF]] several months after the Aces took up their contract.<ref name="FM:MRp74">''Field Manual: Mercenaries Revised'', p. 74, "Hell's Black Aces: Bandit Days"</ref>

The ''Invader'' the Black Aces purchased was ancient at the time they bought it, and everything other than the vital systems needed a major rework, or in some cases, complete replacement. This made the ship, which the Black Aces renamed the ''Charon'' after the mythological ferryman responsible for ushering the souls of the dead across the River Styx, a considerable maintenance burden on the Aces' technical staff. In a further gesture of generosity, the Confederation supplied technical staff to the Aces at no additional cost to bridge the gap while the Aces dealt with this increased technical burden.<ref name="FM:MRp74"/>
