While the Taurians were initially happy with the increased flow of technology to the Concordat from the [[Capellan Confederation]] as part of the Trinity Alliance, the [[Taurian Defense Force]] grumbled at the first advanced [['Mech]] produced by the newly upgraded [[Detroit Consolidated MechWorks]]. Though the ''[[Anubis]]'' was the height of new-tech, it was poorly designed and intended only for a limited-use role, leading the Taurians to push for more general-purpose designs using [[advanced technology]].

After long negotiations a deal was cemented to construct [[Detroit Consolidated Aerospace]], a production facility capable of producing an advanced new-tech fighter. Using the Capellan's expertise from the co-development of the ''[[Defiance (Aerospace Fighter class)|Defiance]]'' [[OmniFighter]] with the [[Word of Blake]], [[Magistracy of Canopus|Magistracy]] supplied manpower and extensive Concordat funding, the end result was a new-tech showpiece.

Flying its first mission in [[3065]], the ''Troika'' makes use of all the latest technologies of the era, utilizing an [[Magna 260]] [[XL engine]], 17 [[double heat sink]]s and 12.5 tons of [[Detroit Special]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor equipped with [[CASE]] for the protection of the pilot. While expensive to maintain and produce, the [[TDF]] was very pleased with the end result, less so the knowledge that as the ''Troika'' was designed under banner of the Trinity Alliance that the balance of its production runs have to be evenly shared among all three members.

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Troika''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary armaments are the [[Kajuka Type III]] [[ER PPC]] and [[Kajuka Type V]] [[ER medium laser]] pairings carried in each wing, supported by a nose-mounted [[Tomodzuru]] [[LRM-20]] rack. While the large number of [[double heat sink]]s allow the energy weapons to fire near continuously, the missile launcher and its three ton [[CASE]] protected ammo bay were specially designed to accommodate any of the Confederation's new [[Thunder LRM]] variants as well as standard missile payloads.

==Variants==
*; CMT-4U : Making extensive use of the cost effective [[rocket launcher]]s available to both the Concordat and Magistracy, the 4U variant replaces the [[LRM-20]] launcher and [[CASE]] with five [[RL-20]]s in the nose and two [[RL-15]]s in the wings, as well as adding two additional [[double heat sink]]s.

*; CMT-7T : This variant carries a [[large re-engineered laser]] in each wing, supplemented by the [[LRM-20]]. There is also a [[Beagle active probe]] in the nose, while the after aspect of the fighter is protected by a [[medium re-engineered laser]].

===Custom Variants===
*; CMT-3TV ''Troika'' Victor : The custom ''Troika'' variant used by Capellan pilot [[Victor Janko]] combines several [[Clan]]-spec weapons systems on a standard ''Troika'' frame. The long range firepower is based on the [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Streak LRM-20]] and paired Clan [[ER PPC]]s. For close in firepower, an [[ER medium pulse laser]] is carried in each wing. BV (2.0) = 2,975<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 12</ref>
