The '''Trojan (Support Vehicle)''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] logistical support vehicle based on the [[Chimera]] chassis that carries a variety of supplies within its hull and can also tow a trailer with more supplies, such as ammunition, fuel, food and water, medical supplies, weapons, and spare parts for other vehicles.

The '''Trojan Support Vehicle''' is an [[Imperial Guard]] logistical support vehicle based on the [[Chimera]] chassis. Built on hundreds of worlds throughout the [[Imperium]], the Trojan is primarily a towing tractor and supply vehicle not meant for battlefield deployment. In addition to carrying supplies within their hulls such as food, ammunition and spare parts, it can carry additional supplies in specialized trailers or tow artillery pieces into position. It has earned many affectionate nicknames from the [[Guardsmen]] it serves such as 'the Mule', 'the Drey', 'Draggin' wagon' and '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 [[targeter]]s, with the extra space given over to room for supplies and a heavy-lift crane. The crane is strong enough to lift heavy objects from within the Trojan'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}}
  
−
==History==
+
Although not meant for battlefield deployment, there have been occasions when Trojans have been converted into combat vehicles, normally out of desperation. Some examples of these field refits include attaching [[Autocannons]] to provide anti-air defence, bolting on extra armour plates to create an armoured carrier, adding communications equipment to make a specialist comms vehicle, and turning it into an engineering vehicle with [[Mine Sweeper]]s or a light bridge layer. Though it is not permitted by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], Commanders often dare to modify the Trojan for field needs rather than to fail in the eyes of their superiors or [[Commissar]]s. Trojans are never as successful as their authentic counterparts, but they often do the job when the alternatives are unavailable.{{Fn|1a}}

+
However, these amphibious vehicles are equipped with a measure of self-defense for delivering supplies and artillery in the heat of battle.  This comes in the form of a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]], which in some models is replaced with a [[Heavy Flamer]]. Other modifications include a [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launcher]]s, a [[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]] or [[Storm Bolter]], [[Camo Netting]], [[Dozer Blade]], [[Extra Armour]], even a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]].{{Fn|2}}
−
The Trojan rarely sees action beyond the front lines as it is even more lightly armoured than a [[Chimera]]. It is however a common sight behind allied lines, going to 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, such as the medi-packs and targeters, which make even more space within its hull. Trojans are also often seen towing trailers full of more supplies, usually of fuel, ammo and general supplies.

There have been occasions when Trojans have been converted into combat vehicles, although these are desperate times. Sometimes [[Autocannons]] are attached to provide anti-air defence, extra armour plates bolted on to create an armoured carrier, 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, but they often do the job when the alternatives are unavailable.
+
Trojans are 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]], [[Triplex Phall]], [[Graia]], [[Metalica]], [[Vanaheim]] and [[Phaeton]].{{Fn|3a}}
  
−
They are often given names such as 'the Mule', 'the Drey', 'Draggin' waggon' and 'Mud-hog'.

There are 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}}

Trojan[5a]

The Trojan Support Vehicle is an Imperial Guard logistical support vehicle based on the Chimera chassis. Built on hundreds of worlds throughout the Imperium, the Trojan is primarily a towing tractor and supply vehicle not meant for battlefield deployment. In addition to carrying supplies within their hulls such as food, ammunition and spare parts, it can carry additional supplies in specialized trailers or tow artillery pieces into position. It has earned many affectionate nicknames from the Guardsmen it serves such as 'the Mule', 'the Drey', 'Draggin' wagon' and 'Mud-hog'.[1a][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 targeters, with the extra space given over to room for supplies and a heavy-lift crane. The crane is strong enough to lift heavy objects from within the Trojan'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.[1a]

Although not meant for battlefield deployment, there have been occasions when Trojans have been converted into combat vehicles, normally out of desperation. Some examples of these field refits include attaching Autocannons to provide anti-air defence, bolting on extra armour plates to create an armoured carrier, adding communications equipment to make a specialist comms vehicle, and turning it into an engineering vehicle with Mine Sweepers or a light bridge layer. Though it is not permitted by the Adeptus Mechanicus, Commanders often dare to modify the Trojan for field needs rather than to fail in the eyes of their superiors or Commissars. Trojans are never as successful as their authentic counterparts, but they often do the job when the alternatives are unavailable.[1a]

However, these amphibious vehicles are equipped with a measure of self-defense for delivering supplies and artillery in the heat of battle. This comes in the form of a hull-mounted Heavy Bolter, which in some models is replaced with a Heavy Flamer. Other modifications include a Searchlight and Smoke Launchers, a pintle-mounted Heavy Stubber or Storm Bolter, Camo Netting, Dozer Blade, Extra Armour, even a Hunter-Killer Missile.[2]

Trojans are known to be produced on the following Forge Worlds: Mars, Gryphonne IV, Stygies VIII, Ryza, Voss, M'khand, Tolkhan, Accatran, Lucius, Triplex Phall, Graia, Metalica, Vanaheim and Phaeton.[3a]

There are 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.[3a]

Trivia

TriviaScrollTrans.png

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

Note 1

Given that the Trojan is based on the Chimera chassis the stated weights of "3.5" tonnes[1a] or "3.3 tonnes"[3a] seem to be obvious mistakes. For comparison other vehicles based on the Chimera chassis weigh in at 30 plus tonnes: Salamander Command - 32 tonnes[3b], Salamander Scout - 33 tonnes[3c], Chimera - 38 tonnes[3d] etc.

Note 2

"Vanahiem" presumably is a misspelling of the Forge World Vanaheim.

Note 3

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 Volume One - Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy[1a] and Imperial Armour Volume One - Second Edition: Imperial Guard[7b]. This presumably was not a mistake but a deliberate decision as the "grey" Trojan was also modified with a stencilled-on "Krieg" inscription on the back of the vehicle.
