The Triad class Merchant is a TL–15 Merchant Vessel.
Description[edit]
The unique design of this ship was developed by the architects of Triad Lines, a large corporate which operated along the Imperial Fringe in the Old Expanses. The distinctive triangular form adopted for the ships was an advertising gimmick.
History & Background[edit]
After Triad declared bankruptcy in 1088, ships of their fleet were sold off to help pay the line's creditors. Over the course of the years since the line folded, these unusually designed ships have shown up far away from their original home.
As cast-offs of a bankrupt shipping line, Triad-class ships are almost exclusively found in the hands of small-time operators, beginning firms, individual, or small partnerships. Most larger companies will not seek out this type of non-standard craft for their fleet, preferring to go with more common ship types or with freshly built craft of their own design.
The uppermost deck of the portside tower holds the ship's bridge and four administrative offices. Two double laser turrets are mounted facing aft.
The next deck holds the ship's officer and some crew quarters. Two laser turrets facing forward are also located on this deck.
The next deck holds the balance of the ship crew quarters, plus the galley and common area. The ship's lifeboat is stored here as well.
The tower on the starboard side is topped by the Gun Deck, holding the ship's two triple sandcaster and four triple missile turrets. The remainder of the deck is taken up by ordinance storage.
Most of the Main deck is taken up with the cargo area; aft and to port are the engineering spaces. Under the port side tower are the low berths, the sick bay, the ship's locker, and an air lock. Under the gun deck is a machine shop and missile magazine space. The slanting forward bulkhead opens out and down to form a cargo ramp for loading and unloading freight.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
Ships of this class were originally named to fit with the Triad image. Thus they bore names like Triangle, Tircorn, Triplet, Triad, and the like. Since that time ships have had new names bestowed upon them by new owners, and almost any name is found in use.
