Description
Introduced in 2717 as a first response fighter for planetary defense forces, the popular Trident was rendered obsolete by the development of the Cheetah, but found a new role among the SLDF army as a fast ground attack plane.
The Trident was built to provide a strong punch in a small, light frame, making it ideal for carrier duty . Its 200-rated engine provides excellent power, and its frame can withstand the forces created when maneuvering at the high speeds that are the Trident's specialty. Once equipped with two tons of standard armor plating, the Trident's armor was upgraded to StarGlo Ferro-Aluminum, primarily to provide better protection from anti-aircraft defenses.
Armament
Armed with three Omicron-Plus Medium Lasers divided between its nose and wings, the Tridents strafing attacks are legendary, only enhanced by the craft's high speed. The Trident also mounts a single aft-mounted Maxell Small Laser to discourage pursuit, at least until the pilot can properly direct their attention to their attacker and their main guns to bare.
Variants
- TRN-3Tb - The engines were upgrade to Extra-Light version and the Medium Lasers were replaced with pulse versions. BV (2.0) = 538
