        The Tacitus is an Imperial design widely produced during the 5th
Frontier War. It was designed primarily as an export comodity to allow
lower tech level worlds to supplement their Shukugan (Dragon) Squadrons.
As the Tacitus is designed at TL-14, extensive training and support programs
were offered as part of the Tacitus sales package.
