{{AstraMilitarumPortal}}[[Image:Trojan.jpg|thumb|right|340px|Trojan{{Fn|5a}}]]The '''Trojan (Support Vehicle)''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] logistical support vehicle based on the [[Chimera]] chassis that carries . Built on hundreds of worlds throughout the [[Imperium]], the Trojan is primarily a variety of towing tractor and supply vehicle not meant for battlefield deployment. In addition to carrying supplies within its hull and can also tow a trailer with more supplies, their hulls such as food, ammunition, fuel, food and waterspare parts, medical it can carry additional suppliesin specialized trailers or tow artillery pieces into position. It has earned many affectionate nicknames from the [[Guardsmen]] it serves such as 'the Mule', weapons'the Drey', 'Draggin' wagon' and spare parts for other vehicles'Mud-hog'.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}}

==Overview==The Trojan is easy to manufacture, highly dependable, efficient in its role and easy to repair in the field thanks to its use of the same basic chassis and engine in common with the Chimera. Unlike the Chimera the Trojan lacks heavy frontal armour, along with other combat-focus features such as medi-packs and [[Image:TroSupVehtargeter]]s, with the extra space given over to room for supplies and a heavy-lift crane.jpg|right|thumb|An Imperial Guard The crane is strong enough to lift heavy objects from within the Trojan Support Vehicle's hold and tow a range of supply trailers, of which the three main types are a large fuel tanker, an armoured ammunition trailer and a general supply trailer. It is also capable of towing large equipment such as [[Weapons Platforms]], although it lacks the power to tow other armoured vehicles, so it can't be used as a recovery vehicle, a task best left to the [[Atlas]].{{Fn|1a}}

==In However, these amphibious vehicles are equipped with a measure of self-defense for delivering supplies and artillery in the 41st Millennium==The Trojan rarely sees action beyond heat of battle. This comes in the front lines as it form of a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]], which in some models is even more lightly armoured than replaced with a [[ChimeraHeavy Flamer]]. It is however Other modifications include a common sight behind allied lines, going to [[Searchlight]] and from the supply depots. It is quick and easy to manufacture and efficient in its role with its built in crane for lifting heavy objects. It has removed some of the other features of the Chimera[[Smoke Launcher]]s, such as the media [[pintle-packs and targetersmounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]] or [[Storm Bolter]], [[Camo Netting]], which make even more space within its hull. Trojans are also often seen towing trailers full of more supplies[[Dozer Blade]], usually of fuel[[Extra Armour]], ammo and general supplieseven a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]].{{Fn|2}}

There have been occasions when Trojans have been converted into combat vehiclesare known to be produced on the following Forge Worlds: [[Mars]], [[Gryphonne IV]], [[Stygies VIII]], [[Ryza]], [[Voss Prime|Voss]], [[M'khand]], [[Tolkhan]], [[Accatran]], [[Lucius (Forge World)|Lucius]], although these are desperate times. Sometimes [[AutocannonsTriplex Phall]] are attached to provide anti-air defence, extra armour plates bolted on to create an armoured carrier[[Graia]], communications equipment added to make a specialist comms vehicle or even turning it into a light bridge layer. They are never as successful as their counterparts[[Metalica]], but they often do the job when the alternatives are unavailable[[Vanaheim]] and [[Phaeton]].{{Fn|3a}}

They There are often given names many variants of the Trojan design used on the battle front. These can be used as communication vehicles, ambulances, mobile kitchens and engineering vehicles such as mine sweepers and bridge layers.{{Fn|3a}} ==Specifications{{Fn|1a}}=={{Imperial Vehicles|Vehicle Name=Trojan{{Fn|1a}}|Forge World of Origin=[[Accatran]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Armageddon]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Graia]]{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}},<br> [[Gryphonne IV]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Lucius (Forge World)|Lucius]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[M'the Mule'Khand]]{{Fn|3a}},<br> [[Mars]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Metalicus]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Phaeton]]{{Fn|3a}},<br> [[Ryza]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Stygies VIII]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Tolkan]]{{Fn|3a}},<br> [[Triplex Phall]]{{Fn|3a}}, [[Vanahiem]]{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|Note 2}}, [[Voss]]{{Fn|3a}}|Known Patterns=I-MXVII{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Crew=3 - Commander, Driver, Operator{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Powerplant='the Drey', 'DragginVulcanor 16 Twin Coupled Multi-Fuel' waggon' and 'Mud{{Fn|1a}}|Weight=3.5 tonnes{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|7a}} / 3.3 tonnes{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|Note 1}}|Length=6.90m{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Width=5.70m{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Height=3.00m{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Ground Clearance=0.45m{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Fording Depth= Amphibious{{Fn|3a}}|Max Speed - on road=80kph{{Fn|1a}}|Max Speed - off road=60kph{{Fn|1a}}|Main Armament=hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]]{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Secondary Armament=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Gun Traverse=10&deg;{{Fn|1a}}|Gun Elevation=From -1&deg; to +18&deg;{{Fn|1a}}|Main Ammunition=300 rounds{{Fn|1a}}^,{{Fn|3a}}|Secondary Ammunition=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Turret Armour=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Superstructure Armour=90mm{{Fn|1a}}|Hull Armour=80mm{{Fn|1a}}|Gun Mantlet Armour=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Vehicle Designation=0427-hog'.941-112-TR14{{Fn|1a}}|Transport=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Fire Ports=N/A{{Fn|1a}}|Access Points=N/A{{Fn|1a}}}}

==Trivia=={{Imperial VehiclesTrivia}}==={{Endn|Vehicle NameNote 1}}===Given that the ''Trojan Support Vehicle'' is based on the ''[[Chimera]]'' chassis the stated weights of "3.5" tonnes{{Fn|1a}} or "3.3 tonnes"{{Fn|Forge World of Origin=3a}} seem to be obvious mistakes. For comparison other vehicles based on the ''Chimera'' chassis weigh in at 30 plus tonnes: ''[[GraiaSalamander Command]]'' - 32 tonnes{{Fn|Known Patterns=I3b}}, ''[[Salamander Scout]]'' -MXVII33 tonnes{{Fn|Crew=Commander, Driver3c}}, Operator|Powerplant=Vulcanor 16 twin coupled multi''Chimera'' -fuel38 tonnes{{Fn|Weight=33d}} etc.5 tonnes|Length=6.90m|Width=5.70m|Height=3.00m{{Endn|Ground ClearanceNote 2}}=0.45m|Max Speed - on road=80kph|Max Speed - off road=60kph|Main Armament="Vanah'''ie'''m" presumably is a misspelling of the Forge World ''[[Heavy BolterVanaheim|Vanah'''ei'''m]].|Secondary Armament=N/A|Gun Traverse=10 degrees|Gun Elevation=From -1 to +18 degrees|Main Ammunition=300 rounds{{Endn|Secondary AmmunitionNote 3}}=N/A|Turret Armour=N/A|Superstructure Armour=90mm|Hull For unknown reasons the descriptions for the Trojans of the [[Konig 9th Heavy Tank Company]] and the [[Krieg 28th Armoured Regiment]] were switched between ''[[Imperial Armour=80mmVolume One - Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy]]''{{Fn|Gun Mantlet 1a}} and ''[[Imperial Armour=N/A|Vehicle Designation=0427Volume One -941-112-TR14Second Edition: Imperial Guard]]''{{Fn|Transport=None|Fire Ports=n/7b}}.
