Description Trident Capitol Battleship:

Overview: The Trident is the pinnacle of the Capitol space force, and while most of their technology and ships can be laughed at the Trident is not to be underestimated. Armed with an extreme armament, descent protection and a powerful engine the Trident while lagging behind in the defense area is still able to deal with other battleships effectively. Using its Tachyon Arrow mounts to destroy targets at immense ranges (even outside of missile ranges) the Trident can close for the kill with its missile launchers and cannons. It also carries attack craft for defense and offense. The worst part about the battleships is that they often work in pairs, and are a plague to shipping as well as small fleets.

Armament: The Trident mounts a horrendously powerful main armament of 9 turrets each mounting 3 Tachyon Arrows, with 27 Tachyon Arrows in total most ships will fall in a single salvo. It also mounts 22 dual 480mm rocket propelled cannon turrets as well as 57 smaller turrets. 8 large missile launchers are also mounted for additional armament.

Rocket Assisted Cannons: These are very simple and old designs used when mankind first left earth. These cannons launch rocket assisted shells at medium velocities and are packed with high explosive to cause maximum damage to enemy craft. These weapons while outdated do high damage if impact occurs but due to the shells having not that fast speed and no targetting correction in flight Capitol uses them to blanket an area for maximum results. Though some of the more advanced versions have tracking.

Missile Launchers: Made to fire Capitols primary anti ship missile at extremely long ranges these weapons have limited supplies though most of the missile launchers in Capitols arsenal have been changed to fire thermo nuclear munitions. These while again outdated are not to be underestimated as damage is very servere.

Tachyon Arrow: Capitol and the Union both ventured into the realm of Tachyon weaponry, the Union deemed it while extremely powerful to be far too unstable and dangerous to be put to good use. Capitol on the other hand weaponised it and despite the horrific number of accidents in development the Tachyon Arrow was born. Firing a concetrated bolt of Tachyons these particles travel hundreds of times faster than light, meaning instantaneous contact. At those speeds as well the damage is outright severe and so 3 shots is enough to down the shields of most cruiser vessels. Thanks to the nature of space as well this weapon is potentially unlimited by range.

Defenses: The Trident mounts around 8ft of reinforced titanium crystal armour plating capable of surviving limited impacts from kinetic and energy weapons. The Hydra as well is protected by a powerful shield generator capable to taking many direct hits before it needs to recharge again.

Power plant: The Trident runs on 12 Fission nuclear reactors for energy, any radioactive waste is either jetsoned into space or kept ready to launch onto enemy planets. These allow the Trident to be powered, though if they take a direct hit the ship will be destroyed.

Electronic capabilities: The Trident is run by a outdated machine computer capable of aiding the crew in targetting and also control of the ship. The crew mainly have complete control. This means Capitol ships are easily hacked but alas the computers in their ships are so old and outdated most hacking programs or Ais cant virtually fit into their systems.

Crew: The Trident has a crew of 1500 men. All of which are human. Around 50 are commisars.

Attack craft: the Trident mounts two large hangar pods either side, together they can launch, 100 Sabre fighters and 25 Phalanx Bombers. This is also complete with refuel and repair stations.

Speed and engines: the Trident is equipped with an Nuclear ram drive and can reach speeds of up to 0.6 Light speed meaning it is a very fast Battleship. This is where it excels on taking down enemy ships be they large or small.

The Union dosent use Tachyon Weapons, their enemy Capitol do.



And our quantum weapons are fairly unique

I wonder how they would fair against a Battle-class freighter, they have the firepower and armor of a battleship, but the cargo of any large cargo ship

well i think the Trident would fair well. Its armour may not be quite up to standard as most battleships and capital vessels, but its armament is akin to large battleship/pushing dreadnought scale. plus at an enormous range, its speed is also fairly good for a large vessel, but as i said the armour is whats lacking

But then again, the Battle-class got its name from one of its main designs, which to be able to head into fire fights with other large capital ships, and be able to return to base, or to be able to counter raiders with warship grade fire, and heavy armor, but like most heavy ships of the droid fleet it lacks speed.

Well Tridents travel in pairs and with escort so you would effectively be facing two

but battle-classes never fly lone or in pairs, most like to fly in herds of 10 or more

groups of 10 or more battleships? thats monumental overkill, but the Trident would still inflict heavy damage, it outranges most craft.

its more like freighters with battleship armament/armor, those large turrets I designed on them have good range on them, but they have a limited firing radius

EmperorMyric In reply to captainIronstar [2013-08-14 10:42:01 +0000 UTC]

well the Trident is an excellent sniper... unfortunately the people who command them like to move in to really close range and fight... if they used it in its proper role it would be alot more dangerous!



Those Tachyon Arrows really make a mess if they hit, us Unioners have found that out the hard way, one salvo can oblitorate a cruiser.... thats why these things are top on our kill priority list!

most heavy ships of most species are generally dangerous even with primeval technology because they are designed to be well armed, and well armored
