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.

==HistoryOverview==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 armor, 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, a task best left to the [[Atlas]].{{Fn|1}}
==In the 41st Millennium==The Trojan rarely sees action beyond the front lines as it is even more lightly armoured than a 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 [[ChimeraAutocannons]]. It is however a common sight behind allied linesto provide anti-air defence, going bolting on extra armour plates to and from the supply depots. It is quick and easy create an armoured carrier, adding communications equipment to manufacture make a specialist comms vehicle, and efficient in its role turning it into an engineering vehicle with its built in crane for lifting heavy objects[[Mine Sweeper]]s or a light bridge layer. It has removed some of They are never as successful as their authentic counterparts, but they often do the other features of job when the Chimera, such as the medi-packs and targeters, which make even more space within its hull. Trojans alternatives are also often seen towing trailers full of more supplies, usually of fuel, ammo and general suppliesunavailable.{{Fn|1}}
There have been occasions when Trojans have been converted into combat However these amphibious vehicles, although these are desperate times. Sometimes [[Autocannons]] are attached to provide antiequipped with a measure of self-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 defense for delivering supplies and artillery in the job when the alternatives are unavailableheat of battleThey are often given names such as ' This comes in the Mule', 'the Drey', 'Draggin' waggon' and 'Mudform of a hull-hog'. ==Forge World Variants==*[[Graia]] - standard pattern ==Regiments known to contain Trojan Support Vehicles==*mounted [[Konig 9th Heavy Tank Company|9th Konig Heavy Tank CompanyBolter]] - Colonia Campaign*[[Dnieper 9th Tank Corps.|9th Dnieper Tank Corps.]]*[[Krieg 28th Armoured Regiment|28th Krieg Armoured Regiment]] - Galen V Expedition Force*[[Valhallan 12th Field Artillery]]*[[Valhallan_597th|Valhallan 597th]] ==Armament and Upgrades==The Trojan , which in some models is armed replaced with a [[Heavy Bolter]].
