The '''Zephyros [[infantry]] support vehicle''' (abbreviated '''Zephyros ISV'''), was a [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Combat Vehicle]] produced on [[Kirchbach]] in the early 3080s after the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] had ended. The vehicle was conceived as a means to be able to shore up the [[Clan]]'s conventional forces after being cut off from the [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworlds]].<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/>

Powered by a 180-rated [[fusion engine]], the Zephyros is a speedy vehicle. Five and a half tons of “Magnum” [[ferro-fibrous]] composite has been used to protect the vehicle from enemy fire.  In addition, the vehicle employs a [[Guardian ECM suite]] to help deal with more electronically sophisticated opponents.<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/>
