The vehicle was conceived originally as a combat-oriented version of the company's [[Ferret]] VTOL in [[2967]]. However, the Wild Weasel was too fragile for customers and the design was discontinued. Cal-Boeing attempted to introduce a less daring design in form of the Marten in [[3021]]. Billing the Marten in the role of a light transport VTOL and recon unit. Performance-wise, the craft was effective, however the shadow of Cal-Boeing's early Wild Weasel and the Marten's high cost caused the sales to falter.<ref name=TRO:3026Rp92>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 92: "Marten Scout VTOL"</ref> Cal-Boeing of Dorwinion put the design back into production sometime prior to [[3145]].<ref name=trofs12>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 12</ref> ===Deployment History=== Sales of the Marten had been limited, initially having been able to sell seven companies of the vehicles to the [[AFFS|AFFS']] [[Ceti Hussars]]. The [[Combined-Arms|combined-arms]] regiments have the Martens take over the role of scouting from its [[BattleMech#Light|light]] BattleMechs. The [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran Commonwealth's]] [[Twenty-second Skye Rangers]] purchased only a single company of the vehicles. However, some wealthy worlds' planetary militias have taken interest in the Marten, purchasing the vehicle for their use.<ref name=TRO:3026Rp92/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The Marten is armed with a single front mounted Federated [[SRM-2]] Launcher with a ton of ammunition.
