As the [[Liao]]-[[Marik]] technological exchange trickled away as the relationship with the [[Free Worlds League]] waned, the Word of Blake stepped into the role of technological mentor of the Confederation in exchange for administering Capellan [[HPG]] stations. Among the various items they offered was OmniFighter technology in the form of ''Defiance'', which the [[Chancellor]] accepted, offering to split part of the first production runs during the initial production and troubleshooting stage.<ref name=TRO3067-144-145/>

While mounting [[standard armor]], the use of an [[XL engine]] frees up 26 tons of [[pod space]] for weapons, though like many OmniFighters this comes at the cost of heat sinks, with only 11 [[double heat sink]]s fitted to its base chassis.<ref name=TRO3067-144-145/>

The primary configuration is ideal for strafing runs, mounting two [[ER medium laser]]s in each wing, supported by twin [[medium pulse laser]]s and bolstered by a [[Gauss rifle]] in the nose. Two [[ER small laser]]s mounted in the rear discourage pursuit.<ref name=TRO3067-144-145/>

*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration is a high-energy strafer, mounting an [[ER PPC]] in each wing supplemented by two nose-mounted [[ER medium laser]]s. An aft-mounted [[SRM-2]] launcher defends the fighter's rear during dogfights, while eight additional [[double heat sink]]s strive to keep the high heat down and prevent the single ton of SRM reloads exploding.

*; Alternate Configuration B : An anti-vehicle ground attack design, the B configuration mounts an [[LB 10-X AC]] in each wing. These are supplied by a total of four tons of ammunition, which allows the fighter to carry both standard slugs and cluster rounds, highly effective in also crippling the delicate control surfaces of [[aerospace fighter]]s.

==Notes==
 
* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''Trutz'''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''TTZ-O'''.
