The '''Cyrano''' was developed by the [[Star League]] in [[2622]] as the standard attack gunship for the [[Star League Defense Force]]. The heaviest [[VTOL]] in SLDF service, the Cyrano was used to provide air support for ground forces and fly escort for [[Ripper (Combat Vehicle)|Ripper]] and [[Nightshade (Combat Vehicle)|Nightshade]] missions.  However the factory which produced the vehicle, located on [[New Vandenberg]] within the [[Taurian Concordat]], was destroyed in [[2840]] in an act thought to have been perpetrated by [[Federated Suns]]-funded pirates.  The [[Word of Blake]] later informed the Taurian government that it was actually the result of [[ComStar]] sabotage during [[Operation Holy Shroud]] and offered to make it right by rebuilding the factory, which they did in time for new Cyranos to be produced in [[3071]].<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 94–95: "Cyrano VTOL Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 198–199: "Ripper VTOL Profile"</ref>

Capable of a stunning 194 km/h, the Cyrano is an incredibly fast scout. This capability is supplemented by its [[Beagle Active Probe]], which has also made the Cyrano a good training vehicle. The downside is the VTOL's meager one ton of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. While speed is normally the best defense for a VTOL, many pilots complained about the Cyrano's virtual inability to shield its internal systems from damage.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/>
