- Kyber Focused Turbolasers
- Kyber Focused Turbolasers: Two large "main gun" type cannons, the triple barreled turbolasers are focused through kyber crystals stolen from Utapau or purchased from the people of Zanj. They hit much, much harder than standard turbolaser batteries making combat with the Trident-class truly terrifying. They are forward facing however and cannot be changed in position meaning the target needs to be straight ahead to be hit.
- Compartmentalized Design: Makes it difficult to make the entire ship useless all at once, allowing it to continue fighting even in circumstances where most ships would be completely dead in the water
- Slightly Exposed Bridge: When not in combat the bridge is slightly exposed. When entering combat the bridge recedes but during that time it cannot fire weapons making sneak attacks incredibly effective on this ship.
- Communication Antennae: All across and along the ship are radio dishes and large rods that relay sensory data to a fully recessed bridge and provide video, audio and other sensory data to the commanders. Destroying these limits their communication and ability to fully see what is going on around their ship in combat.
- Turn Radius: Despite its average speed it does not make large moves well and is relatively easy to hit in combat.
- Power Draw: While the kyber focused turbolasers are powerful, they take a lot of power meaning that if the ship were to enter emergency status for whatever reason and needed to shut off several sections of the ship, so too would the main weapon of the ship leaving the standard array of turbolasers to defend the large ship.
- No Point Defense: Its only defense against starfighters and other small craft are its turbolaser turrets and missile cannons which are much slower to track than standard point defense weapons forcing it to rely on its own fighter support to deter enemy small craft.
The ship was meant to be a front line command ship based off of the Mythosaur's design. While it might not have held the 30 or so squadrons of fighters and shuttles that its smaller cousin held but its two large nacelle hangars still had enough space to field and service several flights of starfighters which was important as the Trident-Class was designed to be able to hold and defend entire planets and small systems by itself until help could arrive. With advanced kyber crystal focused turbolasers, missile cannons, and numerous point defense weapons the ship itself could slug it out with several smaller ships on its own with support from its fighter compliment.
Inside the ship was also akin to a military base with holo-training rooms, barracks, and an entire third underbelly hangar for holding machines of war such as walkers, tanks, transports and stored prefabricated bases. It makes extensive use of advanced gravity storage techniques that allow for compact storing of goods and weapons.
