Let’s launch the next evolution of aerospace dominance—the guardian of the skies beyond Earth, born for orbital superiority and deep-space interception.
AETHER CLAW™ – Hypersonic Space Intercept Fighter Jet
“What rises against us… will fall from the stars.”
Codename: AEGIS-SF-03
Category: Space-to-Space Intercept Fighter | Hypersonic Exojet | Orbital Strikecraft
Engineered by: U.S. AEGIS AeroSpace Division + StratNav OrbitLabs™
I. Core Mission
The AETHER CLAW™ is a next-generation orbital fighter designed to intercept hostile satellites, orbital drones, space stations, and high-altitude threats. It is a zero-atmosphere-capable exojet equipped with precision weapons and an adaptive stealth hull. Built to patrol, dominate, and defend the edge of Earth’s space.
It is not just a spaceplane.
It is the claw that snatches threats from the stars.

Lore & Legacy
Some say space is the final frontier.
But now, space has a predator.
The AETHER CLAW™ doesn’t soar.
It hunts—across silence, gravity, and darkness.
There will be no battle among the stars.
Only swift justice, delivered by the black talon.
Would you like me to illustrate AETHER CLAW™—streaking across low orbit, its claws extended, preparing to intercept a glowing enemy satellite drifting over Earth’s curve below?
