Captain Obvious

So I played through Privateer and Righteous Fire recently and it got me thinking about the Talon, a fighter so numerous in Gemini that you can't hit your afterburner without crashing into a few.
It's mentioned that it was a Confederation fighter that proliferated due to illegal sales by Governor Menesch, but not much more is said.
It lead me to wonder if this was an old frontline fighter that just had a huge surplus after becoming hopelessly outdated, or if was just a cheap fighter that was purpose built to serve behind the lines with militias and the ISS.
It doesn't seem like it was ever intended to be a civilian model given the fact that Menesch was selling them illegally and that the only law-abiding folks who fly them are the militia.
So while I'm probably overthinking this, I was left to muse: What might the Talon have been before it became the most common sight in Gemini?
