Designed by a team who had been involved in several top line Imperial projects, the Trogon is the first product of Maxion Astronomics, a new independent organization with some Imperial ties. Sleek, agile, and not particularly sturdy, the Trogon is equipped with state of the art weaponry systems, sensor, and propulsion systems. It is also quite expensive, and prone to high cost maintenance problems.

The double blaster cannon is an innovation of the first order, using standard blaster cannon technology, but energizing the weapon coils to twice the usual intensity, producing blasts of considerably greater power and less diffraction than can be expected. The inevitable overheating and barrel warping of the weapon have been avoided by frigidon cooling, but the weapon is still somewhat delicate, and damage to it is usually fiendishly difficult to repair, as the frigidon usually escapes, damaging the weapon further.

Despite the frailty of the Trogon, when all it's systems are functioning, it is one of the deadliest fighters available, outrunning and outranging almost everything else flying, and capable of delivering hits that can take out capital class ships. Further refinement of the initial design is expected, so first run Trogons are not selling very fast.
