The Viper was originally developed by Toledo engineers. Due to lack of resources, The Order could not build more than a few ships of this type, and production was transferred to Zoners. In the recent years, Zoners, Independent Mining Guild, and Gas Mining Guild were building Vipers in small numbers for sale.

The Charon, originally a testbed model of the eventual [[Nyx]] class Very Heavy Fighter, was put into production for distribution within the civilian market to offset the substantial development costs of crafting a vessel designed to excel in the oppressive dangers of the borderworlds.

The Charon, originally a testbed model of the eventual Nyx class Very Heavy Fighter, was put into production for distribution within the civilian market to offset the substantial development costs of crafting a vessel designed to excel in the oppressive dangers of the borderworlds. While the quality of each individual craft lies in the heavy utilization of after market equipment and personal knowhow, the legendary reliability of the underlying superstructure and Hercules drive system is a strong testament to the quality driven ethos of the IMG.
