Sitting between the ''[[Union]]'' and ''[[Overlord]]'' in terms of capacity and capability, the ''Trutzburg'' entered service in 3100, compensating for the decline of the Commonwealth's ''[[Aurora]]'', ''Union'' and ''Overlord'' fleets, although the ''Trutzburg'' is actually closer in role to the much rarer ''[[Fortress]]'' class of DropShips. When it came to naming the new DropShip, the chosen name reflected the rather specialized nature of the vessel; ''Trutzburg'' was the German name for a castle constructed for the purpose of besieging an enemy fortress.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>

The ''Trutzburg'' is designed to transport combined-arms units, with space in the various cargo bays for a [[BattleMech]] [[company]], an [[aerospace fighter]] [[squadron]] and four squads of [[battle armor]] as well as having additional space for cargo. Fifty-three tons of heavy ferro-aluminum armor help keep embarked units and the crew - nearly a hundred strong in their own right - safe.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>

Mounted in the nose of the ''Trutzburg'' are a pair of [[Extended Range Particle Projector Cannon]]s, a pair of [[Extended Range Large Laser]]s, a pair of [[Extended Range Medium Laser]]s and a pair of Improved Heavy Gauss Rifles, the latter of which are supplied with forty rounds of ammunition. Also mounted in the nose are the most distinctive of the ''Trutzburg's'' weapons - a trio of Long Tom Artillery pieces, which enable each ''Trutzburg'' to assist in ground campaigns.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>

The forward left and right arcs of the ''Trutzburg'' each mounted a single extended-range particle projection cannon, a pair of extended-range large lasers, a quartet of extended-range medium lasers, two [[extended LRM-20]]s and three [[anti-missile system]]s. The ELRMs are supplied with thirty-two rounds of ammunition, while the three AMS have seventy-two rounds of ammunition available.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>

The rear left and right arcs of the ''Trutzburg'' are broadly similar to the fore left and right arcs in layout, mounting a combination of a single Extended-Range Particle Projection Canon, a pair of Extended-Range Medium Lasers, a pair of Improved Heavy Gauss Rifles, a pair of LRM-20s - boosted by [[Artemis IV]] fire control systems - and another trio of anti-missile systems each. In terms of ammunition, the three AMS again have seventy-two rounds to draw on, while the Gauss Rifles have forty rounds.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>

The most lightly armed area of the ''Trutzburg'' is the aft - although light is a subjective term, given that the armament there consists of a pair of Extended-Range Large Lasers, a pair of Extended-Range Medium Lasers and an Improved Gauss Rifle with twenty rounds of ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3145LCp52+"/>
