Talon

The Talon is a light fighter manufactured by [Esperia](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0OaBKL7wlv-esperia). A replica of the historic [Tevarin](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJv3nB3X-tevarin) fighter designated "Talon" by the [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth) military during the [First Tevarin War](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bZwQm3meJM-first-tevarin-war) (2541 - 2546), the spacecraft features maneuverable phalanx-style shields that can be moved to protect vital points. In 2941, three partial hulls of Talons were discovered on [Kabal III](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8WrG5yroD-kabal-iii), alongside a cache of other Tevarin artifacts that survived the Purge that took place at the end of the [Second Tevarin War](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/bE3rPrz3Pv-second-tevarin-war) (2603 - 2610). Esperia used these recovered hulls to create modern replicas, which they debuted at the [Intergalactic Aerospace Expo](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R4jpEgezde-intergalactic-aerospace-expo) in 2950.
