== Description ==
The '''''Taihou''''' Assault [[DropShip]] was produced as part of the [[Draconis Combine]] efforts to produce a replacement vessel for its diminished navy in the late [[Jihad]] era. Produced as a collaboration between Hinsdale Elec's shipyard, personnel from various companies such as [[Midway Warship Yard]] and electronic assistance from the [[Nirasaki Computers Collective]], the end result was a tough and small Assault DropShip which could inflict considerable damage against even [[WarShip]]s.<ref name="TRO:3085p126"/>

Protected by 115 tons of Ferro Aluminum armor, as part to enhance the ''Taihou'''s fleet performance, the ship had been fitted out with [[Advance Technology|advance tech]] Nirasaki [[Naval C3 System]], which like its land-based version helps squadrons of ships fitted with the system to enhance the effectiveness against opposing enemy forces.<ref name="TRO:3085p126"/>

Conceived as a replacement for lost WarShip producing capacities of the Combine, the ''Taihou'' utilized a sizable array of [[Sub-Capital Weapons]] to meet this role. The ship carried four [[Heavy Sub-Capital Cannon|Heavy Capital Cannon]]s with 60 rounds of fire for them mounted in the ship's nose.  Backing up these powerful Sub-capital weapons is a trio of [[Heavy PPC]]s and advanced tech [[Apollo Fire Control System]] for the ship's [[MRM 40]] Launchers. A [[Screen Launcher]] was mounted in the nose to help protect the ship from incoming fire.<ref name="TRO:3085p126"/>

In the ship's right and left wing sections and aft quarters are mounted an additional trinity of Heavy PPCs and Apollo Guided MRM 40 Launchers. An [[anti-missile system]] was also added to each of the wing sections, to cut down on missile fire and potentially capital-grade missiles used against the ship. On rear flanks of the wing sections, additional anti-missile systems are added for each facing flanking sections.<ref name="TRO:3085p126"/>
