The Talon is one of the most common fighters on the Terran-Kilrathi frontier, owing to the 2654 illegal sale of the fighters by [[Gemini Sector]] Governor Menesch to the Church of Man. For the fifteen years following that event, Talons became not only the primary vehicles of neo-luddite terrorism, but also common tools of pirates, mobsters and any other sort of illegitimate operation that might benefit from a fast, cheap fighter. Further complicating the matter, many frontier militia units also use the craft. In short, space is full of Talons.
 
In 2790, a disabled Talon was discovered at Nav Point #190 in the [[Tri-System]]. The [[CIS]] issued a Code 3 Top Priority call for the destruction of the ship and the capture of its pilot. The [[Papagod]] Clan deployed a pair of [[PLM4 Tembler|Tembler]]s to capture the ship for themselves. At this time, it is unknown why the appearance of an antique fighter caused such a serious reaction.
