Description[edit]
One of the most common and the largest aerodyne DropShips still produced, the squat and unglamorous Triumph-class was also one of the most versatile and resilient designs in common use throughout all the Successor States naval fleets.[9][10][6]
The vessel's distinctive look was born of an attempt to balance aerodynamic maneuverability and rapid offloading of its battalion of combat vehicles. The large and easily accessible cargo bays were also highly adaptable, with many Triumphs modified to carry aerospace fighters, BattleMechs, and even surface naval craft. Even with relatively easy and fast cargo offloading times, like many troop carriers, the Triumph was not designed to enter contested territory, and its meager armor and weaponry have left the class extremely vulnerable to hostile fire.[6][9][10]
Only one Triumph per year was able to be produced at Rashpur-Owen's Capella shipyards,[4] one of two production sites of the class.[2]
Armament[edit]
Focused toward its role as a troop carrier, the Triumph had fairly light armament, with a nose-mounted PPC, AC/10, LRM-20 and twin medium lasers, supported by an AC/5, LRM-15, a large laser and two mediums in each wing. The rear of the craft was protected by a single LRM-10 and two medium lasers, ensuring that the craft rarely entered contested territory without protection from aerospace fighters and fellow DropShips.[9][10][6]
Cargo[edit]
Three huge cargo bays on the lowest decks of the craft gave the Triumph the capacity to carry a complete armored vehicle battalion, easily accessible via the two large doors in the DropShip's sides. Two 1,000-ton capacity bays were located in the aft portion of the vessel, normally reserved for supplies and parts as restricted floor space limited them to four vehicles. Despite their limited access, they were almost ideal for carrying 'Mechs, a common modification.[9][10][6]
Variants[edit]
- Upgrade
- BBP Industries of Luthien unveiled an advanced-tech redesign of the Triumph in 3057, attempting to combat the venerable craft's lackluster weapons array, trading out the AC/10 for a gauss rifle, the standard model PPC for an ER PPC, switching the large lasers for extended range models, trading two standard mediums for medium pulse lasers, and adding Artemis IV FCS to all the LRM launchers. While representing fairly minor changes to the armament, unlike many other lostech refits, BBP also attempted to redress some of the other annoyances of the Triumph, replacing the single large vehicle bay ramp with a pair of narrower ones which provides simultaneous access to both upper and lower bays, while also allowing the crew to shift vehicles about while in flight. The smaller bays were also factory upgraded to include four 'Mech cubicles that allowed the upgraded Triumph to transport a 'Mech lance, as well as the armor battalion.[6] BV (1.0) = 3,160;[11] BV (2.0) = 3,282
- Assault Triumph
- Developed by the Word of Blake in 3062 at the Titan Yards orbiting Saturn, the lighter Assault Triumph boasted heavier armor and weaponry, while carrying a complete Level III. BV (2.0) = 7,098[12]
