The Duress is the most expensive light fighter available on the private market in the [[Tri-System]]. However the strong shields and the very small profile make it very hard to damage and this way worth every credit. It is a civilian variant of the military's [[ML1B Duress]]-class Light Fighter.


Several notable Tri-System pilots fly the Duress, including [[Jak Perdies]], [[Hengist Magnusson]] and [[Murray-Thew Latchford]]. Due to their nature as a light fighter, however, Duresses often fall into less reputable hands. In 2790, a pair of Duresses and a pair of [[Heretic]]s abandoned a load of [[synthetic organs]] bound for an [[Anhur]] Orphanage to pirates. [[Finbhar Cratchett]], the orphanage director, placed a bounty on their heads. Pirate clans also fly the craft - another even quartet of Duresses and Heretics, this time flown by [[Jincilla]] pilots, posed as mercenaries to lure the transport ship [[Lubanna]] into a trap. A [[Kindred]] Duress assisted in that groups attack on [[Messineo Couriers]], Ltd.'s ex-mining base at Nav Point 225. None the less, other legitimate mercenaries do continue to fly Duresses - a pair escorted [[Davis & Co. Armaments and Supplies]] ships against [[Jincilla]] attacks in 2790. Duresses also see use in the private sector - a businessman who was hunted in that same year for having harassed [[Bernice Barlow]] flew the fighter as a personal transport.

The Duress is the most expensive light fighter available on the private market in the Tri-System. However, its strong shields and very small profile make it very hard to damage for any attacker and this way worth every credit.

Several notable Tri-System pilots fly the Duress, including Jak Perdies and Hengist Magnusson. Due to its nature as a light fighter, however, the Duress often falls into less reputable hands. In 2790, a pair of Duresses and a pair of Heretics abandoned a load of synthetic organs bound for an Anhur Orphanage to pirates. Finbhar Cratchett, the orphanage director, placed a bounty on their heads. Pirate clans also fly the craft - another even quartet of Duresses and Heretics, this time flown by Jincilla pilots, posed as mercenaries to lure the transport ship Lubanna into a trap. A Kindred Duress assisted in that group's attack on Messineo Couriers, Ltd.'s ex-mining base at Nav Point 225. None the less, other legitimate mercenaries do continue to fly Duresses - a pair escorted Davis & Co. Armaments and Supplies ships against Jincilla attacks in 2790. Duresses also see use in the private sector - a businessman, who was hunted in that same year for having harassed Bernice Barlow, flew the fighter as a personal transport.

The Duress entered service before 2785.
