Description
The Triton Missile Submarine was developed by the Draconis Combine after liberating the world of Jeanette during Operation Bulldog. DCMS High Command decided to try an experimental missile submarine design to defend such worlds based on ancient Terran examples. For expense reasons, High Command decided to not include WarShip-grade Capital Weapons in their new submarine, planning instead for it to act as a tactical Fire Support vessel. In addition, they designed the ship to function as a mobile undersea command post, following lessons learned from the Clan Invasion.[1]
The Triton Class was constructed to provide artillery fire support for troops, especially those for those equipped with TAG gear. In peace time, the ship can be used a transport vessel, since the hull was based on that of civilian cargo vessels. This gives the ship long duration for its crew, which has prompted some civilian authorities to have the Tritons built for civilian use.[1]
Only three ships of the class have been constructed thus far, as High Command is still evaluating these ships' performance and the economic feasibility for use on other worlds.[1]
During the Jihad the Triton entered service across the Combine. During the mid-3070's the ship was modified to exchange cargo room for Sub-Capital Missile launchers.[2]
Armament & Capabilities
The main armament is six Shigunga Arrow IV artillery batteries, with 90 missiles for its launchers.[1]
The ship's only close in weaponry are six 20-tube Long Range Torpedo launchers, (three mounted in the bow, and 1 launcher mounted in each of the left, right, and rear arcs), with six tons of ammunition for them.[1]
Other features include Communication Equipment, docking units, a field kitchen, ten maritime escape pods, a MASH unit with one operating theater, and a searchlight mounted on the front of the ship. Twenty second-class passenger quarters provide adequate accommodations.
Cargo Capacity
The Triton class can carry 5,975 tons of cargo accessible through four doors.[3]
Design Quirks
The Triton Missile Submarine has the Improved Communications Design Quirk.[3]
Known ships of the Class
- DCS Triton'
- DCS Polaris
- DCS Athens
