Gyges-class aerial warship
Operation Whale Hunt
- "Gyges is heavily armed and will destroy you if you get too close to Moby Dick. Stay alert, stay alive!"

The Gyges-class aerial warship is a class of aerial warships operated by the USEA Federation during the USEAn War. USEA deployed numerous Gyges-class aerial warships during the war, either directly into combat[2][3][4][5][6] or to defend Aigaion-class heavy command cruisers.[1]
Etymology
The name "Gyges" comes from one of the hundred-handed giants in Greek mythology known as the Hecatoncheires. The other two Hecatoncheires provide the names for Aigaion and Kottos.
History
During the United Nations Forces's Operation Eternal Liberation, USEA sent many Gyges-class aerial warships to support its forces at Comona Base,[2] the Alps,[3] Iyuli,[4] Area B7R,[5] and the Adriatic Sea.[6]
USEA also sent Gyges-class aerial warships to support Aigaion-class heavy command cruisers in transit, two Gyges-class for each Aigaion-class.[1]
