== Description ==
The '''''Poignard''''' is a light [[aerospace fighter]] that was produced by [[Kallon Industries]] in 3083. The craft was originally conceived as an interceptor and initially produced for the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] at their new ground facility on [[Loyalty]]. Within two years of its initial release, sales to the Commonwealth proved the design successful, thus expanding sales to [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s Armed Forces. The craft's production was expanded with a second facility on the [[Republic of the Sphere]] world of [[Asuncion]].<ref name="TRO:3085p112+"/>

The craft's [[Magna 245]] [[XL engine]] gives it a maximum of 7g acceleration, which allows its medium range weaponry to engage its target more swiftly than most other fighters. The ''Poignard'' mounts 10 tons of [[heavy ferro-aluminum]] armor, providing it superior protection when engaging its opponents.<ref name="TRO:3085p112+"/>

The ''Poignard''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s weaponry includes a heat efficient, nose-mounted [[small pulse laser]] and [[Imperator Napoleon]] [[LAC/5]] with one ton of ammunition. To bolster the cannon and pulse laser are a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s mounted in each of its wings. The weapons heat is managed by 11 [[double heat sink]]s, allowing the craft remain cool when most of its weapons are in use.<ref name="TRO:3085p112+"/>
