Out on the farthest reaches of Grineer space, it is extremely common for Infested attacks to achieve devastating results that can route entire Grineer platoons from their bases. Often, wounded individuals are brought along with the group if they are important enough, which can lead to massive build-ups of wounded to treat outside of the cloning facilities that double as Grineer hospitals. Before even being considered for entry however, they must be examined by "The Judge". Commonly a "senior" ( by a few humble years) medical staff member but often times an Infested veteran as well, these gas-mask equipped "angels of the grounds" glide among the wounded outside with a two-fold purpose, to seek out the salvageable and to search for signs of the Infested. Those who are deemed worthwhile are whisked away at a wave of the Judge's hand to be cared for and surrounded by the best their brothers can offer them. Those tainted by the parasite or with to extreme of injuries however, are given the ritual of mercy. Simply put, a group of technicians arrive with a pole to be planted in the ground, the afflicted or infirm is tied to it in a standing position, a photo is taken, and they are simply executed with a single well-placed Trokar shot to the head to be dumped in the burning ditch. Every single facet of the Trokar's design was built to ensure that the process of euthanasia is done quickly, cleanly, and with the absolute highest guarantee of death with the bare-minimum of cranial tissue left behind which could be salvageable by potential internal Infestation. Unfortunately, it is these exact same traits that the black market that lies in the shadows of Sol covets in it's weapons of execution and assassination, making models acquired from Meridian turncoats an inestimable product for those interested in getting their hands dirty. Though rare, some models do indeed get produced in the underworld nano-forges of the relays, making these grim symbols available to those Tenno with a steady aim and an absolute need for one specific thing to simply drop dead.

Artist notes

A favor I did for Unus from the Warframe forums! Check out his thread full of Warframe concepts. Maybe hook him up with some drawings!

The Trokar was introduced to me as a 6-gauge bolt-action pistol, so I went for something with a distinctive silhouette. None of the other .50 BMG pistols I could find had silhouettes that looked fun enough to me, so I went with the Thunder. 50! Seriously, check it out, it looks so cool! But it's dumb. BUT IT'S COOL! You can see footage of it here.

The sight also had to be redesigned, at Unus' behest.

Fun fact: Most of the pistol recoils backwards after firing. Maaaaybe that can be part of the firing animation here?
