In the heart if the Orion Nebula Cluster, one of the youngest and nearest star forming regions, is an ensemble of the youngest massive stars we know in the Galaxy. Having a dynamic age of about 300,000 years, it harbors a number of very young and hot ZAMS stars. Recent X-ray studies implied that some of these stars showed coronal type X-ray spectra, but some seemingly not. So far the most compelling cases for magnetic activity in these cases have been made for Theta-1 Ori C and Theta-2 Ori A. As part of our HETG Orion Legacy Project we are in the process of obtaining high quality and highly resolved X-ray spectra from all massive Trapezium stars. We will present spectra and analysis of some of these stars, including line-based spectral
characterization of spectra and dynamics. This work was supported by NASA through the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) contract SV3-73016 for the Chandra X-Ray Center and Science Instruments.
