==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 armorarmour, 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}}
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 permit permitted by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] the , 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}}
