=== Vehicles ===

;Cerberus Rapid Response Vehicle: A wheeled variant of the [[Chimera Transport| Chimera Armoured Transport]] employed by the Aprior Sector Armed Forces.  It is slightly less capable of negotiating broken terrain than its parent vehicle, but it is much more mobile in urban and open environments, and its wheels require significantly less maintenance than heavy tracks.  Unarmed Cerberus vehicles are often used by planetary governments and other non-military organizations as ambulances, firetrucks, and cargo carriers.

;Fenris Battle Tank: The Adeptus Mechanicus guilds working in the Aprior Sector keep track of every maintenance report generated when their products are brought in for repair.  That way, they can identify patterns of problems and improve future production runs.  One of the workshops contracted to build [[Leman Russ Battle Tank | Leman Russ Battle Tanks]] for the sector's [[Imperial Guard | Imperial Guard regiment]]s, Staalus Armorworks, found themselves needing to make too many compromises when they tried to modify the Russ in response to post-battle reports, and decided to make a bold gamble.  They spent years testing designs and retooling their production lines to create a novel battle tank that addressed every identified shortcoming.  The result was the Fenris Battle Tank, a lower, sleeker vehicle that resembled a miniature [[Baneblade]] with some features of the [[Predator Tank]].  It was a marvel of engineering, superior to the Russ in almost every respect, but it was also more expensive to produce, required a much longer training program for crews to master it completely, and only shared a few common components with the Russ.  For ease of maintenance and interoperability with other Imperial Guard regiments, the Apriori regiments stuck with the dependable Leman Russ.  Staalus had not lost all of their Leman Russ production lines, and thus retained some of its contracts, but their gamble cost them a great deal of Russ production capacity, which forced them to surrender many of their contracts to other workshops.  As for the Fenris, only Staalus's own Skitarii and their world's PDF chose to use it; the production lines lie cold and the majority of Fenrises produced wait in storage.

;Sky-shroud Drop Pod: Sky-shroud Drop Pods do not carry Marines like regular Drop Pods, but break up in mid-flight, releasing decoys that look like Drop Pods to ground sensors and clouds of metallic sensor-blinding chaff.  They are sometimes used to provide cover for an orbital assault, making it impossible for ground defenses to target arriving forces, or on their own, to feint the enemy into responding to a false attack, exposing their capabilities and drawing them out.

;Valkyrie Avenger: The Knights Inductor saw a need for a vehicle for covertly delivering small power-armored strike teams – the [[Thunderhawk]] was far too big for the task, while the Land Speeder Storm was too small.  The Apriori tech-priests of Apodidax Aeronautics created a variant of the Valkyrie to fill that role (as the [[Stormraven]] STC pattern was limited to the Grey Knights and Blood Angels, and unknown to the Apriori).  Modifications include increased armor and engine capacity, as well as internal adjustments to accommodate powered armor.  Unfortunately, the Stormraven STC was later released to all Space Marine Chapters who desired it; when one of Apodidax's competitors won the contract to build them for the Knights Inductor, Apodidax found itself in dire financial straits...at least until they got the contract to build Avengers and Sky Talons for the Aprior Sector's Imperial Guard and PDF regiments.
