Designed by ERAC, the ERAC-4 Anubis was the first ever All-metal fighter built by Erandia. A significant step up from the Osiris, it was faster and more maneuverable, capable of carrier operation.

A powerful ERACE-12 Fighter engine allowed for speeds of up to 500km/h, and a very short takeoff time. It has an armament of 6 Cannons and 1 gun.

Service History

Entering service just two years before the 1968 World War, the Anubis performed well in early skirmishes against more outdated Divoroan fighters and war-zeppelins. However, Ferulia switched sides soon after Divoroan capture of Cesaria, and soon Erandian Anubises could be seen fighting more capable Ferulian Aircraft.

With the Erandian Army pushed back to Jathiwa and San Fernado, the Air force stalled for time to Evacuate San Fernado. The first air battle over San Fernado represented the largest air battle in the war so far, and resulted in Erandian victory, with 128 Divoroan-Ferulian aircraft downed in exchange for 72 Erandian and 12 Lorminian aircraft shot down. The battle would bring 2 more days to San Fernado to evacuate.

Participating in most of the battles in the Erandian theatre, the Anubis could be seen over the battlefields of the Aravati line, the Battle for the Erandian gulf, The fall of Jathiwa and the Divoroan surrender at Okralosk.

The ERAC-4 Anubis was widely exported, and ERAC maintained 80 overseas factories to build ERAC-3s and ERAC-4s.

When civil War broke out in Erandia, both sides of the conflict would take a sizable number of these aircraft with them. Out of 182 Anubises at the beginning of the civil war, only 31 would remain.
