STRENGTHS
- More missiles: The Trill T-wing II is focused on delivering different types of warheads through a set of four Flex Tube launchers, which can be outfitted to fire a variety of ordnance including proton torpedoes, concussion missiles, proton bombs, and cluster missiles. This allows the Trill to carry different payloads or combinations of payloads to better adapt to different situations or foes.
- Fast: The Trill T-wing retains its predecessor's legacy as a fast craft through a combination of a relatively light build and strong engines. The use of modernized STAR-AE engines makes the craft unusually fast when flying in formation with each other.
- Weak Shielding: As with the original T-wing, the Trill T-wing II's shielding is relatively weak, though it does have a fairly fast recharge rate.
- Poor Maneuverability: The Trill T-wing II's engines are optimized for high speed, not maneuverability and consequently are surprisingly not very nimble despite its sporty line.
The Trill T-wing II has fairly sleek lines which accurately suggest its relatively high speed, much like its original predecessor. CorelliSpace's redesign of the classic T-wing though is not inconsiderable, however. Rather than making a strict interceptor, CorelliSpace reimagined the craft primarily as a platform for launching warheads. To that end, the Trill T-wing has four modular warhead launching tubes, which can carry a wide variety of munitions for different missions and circumstances. This allows the T-wings to be loaded up with proton bombs for assaults against orbital platforms and capital ships or cluster missiles and concussion missiles to take down other starfighters. Unusually, the Trill T-wing has scattergun laser cannons, which partially compensate for its low maneuverability by indiscriminately filling the space in front of it with fire, making it reasonably effective particularly against fast and/or small targets like enemy warheads or swarm fighters. While somewhat unconventional, the versatile firepower of Trill T-wings has made them popular among individuals and groups that don't have access to the latest technology from top tier defense manufacturers commonly associated with the major powers of the galaxy.
