A design in common use among all [[Clans]], save the [[Clan Wolf|Wolves]], [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcons]] and [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Vipers]], with a notable number in limited use among the [[CCAF]] and [[FWLM]] thanks to salvage from [[Operation Bulldog|Operations Bulldog]] and [[Task Force Serpent|Serpent]], the ''Turk'' serves a number of roles but is usually designated as an attack ship rather than a dogfighter.<ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref name=TRO3055-154-155/><ref name=TRO3055R138-139/>

Fitted with a light but relatively underpowered 250-rated [[XL engine]], space is saved for a respectable nine and half tons of [[Pattern 14]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, 12 fixed [[double heat sink]]s and five tons of fuel to ensure that what the design lacks in speed, it makes up with endurance and 24 tons of available pod space.<ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref name=TRO3055-154-155/><ref name=TRO3055R138-139/>

The primary configuration is one of the multirole designs, each wing mounting an [[ER PPC]] and [[ER large laser]], giving this fighter the ability to project fire over considerable distance. Four additional [[double heat sink]]s strive to combat the high heat from ''Turk'' prime's all energy loadout.<ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref name=TRO3055-154-155/><ref name=TRO3055R138-139/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration is best suited to operations in space, mounting a [[Gauss rifle]] and [[ER large laser]] in its nose, supported by an [[SRM-4]] launcher in each wing and a [[medium pulse laser]] to protect its rear. Two tons each of Gauss and SRM reloads is usually sufficient, but causes some problems in extended combat.

*;Alt. Config. A : The A variant is best suited to operations in space, mounting a [[Gauss Rifle]] and ER Large Laser in its nose, supported by a [[SRM-4]] launcher in each wing. While a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] wards its rear, two tons each of gauss and SRM reloads is usually sufficient, but causes some problems in extended combat. BV (1.0) = 1,965<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 89</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,956<ref name=MUL189/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 327</ref>
  
*; Alternate Configuration B : The ''Turk'' B also usually performs in space operations, this time with a pair of [[UAC/10]]s, one in each wing. While also carrying a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in its nose, this variant usually withdraws once its rather minimal two tons of autocannon munitions are expended. BV (1.0) = 1,734;<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 90</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,774<ref name=MUL189/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 328</ref>

*;Alt. Config. B : The ''Turk'' B also usually performs in space operations, this time with a pair of [[Ultra AC/10]]s, one in each wing. While also carrying a pair of ER Medium Lasers in its nose, this variant usually withdraws once its rather minimal two tons of autocannon munitions are expended. BV (1.0) = 1,734<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 90</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,774<ref name=MUL189/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 328</ref>
  
*; Alternate Configuration C : The ''Turk'' C configuration concentrates mainly on missile weapons, mixing short- and long-range launchers. A nose-mounted [[LRM-20]] is supported by wing-mounted [[ER large laser]]s at long ranges, and at short range by a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher mounted next to the lasers. Two tons each of LRM and Streak reloads are generally enough for an average [[Trial|Clan Trial]], while an aft-mounted [[ER medium laser]] covers the rear.

*;Alt. Config. C : The ''Turk'' C variant again concentrates on ballistic weapons, this time short- and long-range missile launchers. A nose mounted [[LRM-20]] is supported by wing mounted ER Large Lasers at long ranges, and at short range by a [[Streak SRM-6]] launcher mounted next to the lasers. Two tons each of LRM and Streak reloads are generally enough for an average Clan Trial, while a aft mounted ER Medium Laser covers the rear. BV (1.0) = 2,037<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U190-191/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 92</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,226<ref name=MUL189/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 329</ref>
  
*; Alternate Configuration D : A recent configuration based on the missile-laser mix of the C, the ''Turk'' D carries an [[ER large laser]] in its nose mount, supported by a new [[ATM-12]] in each wing. With its ammo bays capable of carrying six tons worth of reloads, the customizable ATM system can be exploited to its fullest.

*; Alternate Configuration E : Apparently intended to bolster a [[WarShip]]'s anti-missile defense, the ''Turk'' E carries a [[Machine Gun Array]] in each wing. These arrays each carry three [[heavy machine gun]]s, while a nose-mounted [[Gauss rifle]] and [[plasma cannon]] make the fighter an effective combatant as well. To further improve performance, it carries an [[ECM suite]] to disrupt enemy electronics. An [[ER small laser]] covers the craft's rear arc.
