Following the introduction of the [[Fa Shih]], [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] leaders wanted [[battle armor]] to be made available to more units than just the most prestigious. Surprisingly, the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces#Strategios|Strategios]] listened and commissioned the design of a new battle armor. With funding from their [[Trinity Alliance]] allies, the CCAF put together a new unit in record time, leading to speculation that the design was already on the drawing board.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO26>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 26</ref>

The '''Trinity''' is really three different battle armors, all initially constructed by the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The '''Ying Long''' ("Shadow Dragon") uses the mimetic armor first created by [[Word of Blake]] for their [[Purifier Adaptive|Purifier]], though how they acquired the technology is unknown.  The '''Asterion''' and '''Theseus''' are functionally identical, but have different aesthetics. The [[Taurian Concordat]] is apparently unhappy at the decision of the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] to name their version after the legendary founder of Athens who slew the Minotaur.<ref name=CE /> The [[Periphery]] nations became more and more agitated when convenient mishaps kept production solely in the hands in the Capellans. Both nations finally resorted to reverse engineering the design, then put them quietly into production. This left the Capellans with egg on their face as their allies suddenly stopped purchasing the production runs.<ref name=TRO26 />
