==Description==
One of the most common and the largest aerodyne [[DropShips]] still produced, the squat and unglamorous '''''Triumph'''''-class was also one of the most versatile and resilient designs in common use throughout all the [[Successor States]] naval fleets.<ref name="DS&JSp32+">''DropShips and JumpShips: ComStar Intelligence Summary'', pp. 32–33: "Triumph Class DropShip"</ref><ref name="TRO:3057p48+">''Technical Readout: 3057'', pp. 48–49: "Triumph"</ref><ref name="TRO:3057Rp46+"/>

One of the largest aerodyne [[DropShip]]s produced, the squat and unglamorous '''''Triumph'''''-class is also one of the most versatile and resilient designs in common use throughout all the [[Successor States]] naval fleets.
  
The vessel's distinctive look was born of an attempt to balance aerodynamic maneuverability and rapid offloading of its [[battalion]] of [[combat vehicle]]s. The large and easily accessible cargo bays were also highly adaptable, with many ''Triumph''s modified to carry [[aerospace fighters]], [[BattleMechs]], and even surface naval craft. Even with relatively easy and fast cargo offloading times, like many troop carriers, the ''Triumph'' was not designed to enter contested territory, and its meager armor and weaponry have left the class extremely vulnerable to hostile fire.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp46+"/><ref name="DS&JSp32+"/><ref name="TRO:3057p48+"/>

The vessel's distinctive look is born of an attempt to balance aerodynamic maneuverability and rapid off-loading of its [[Battalion]]s worth of [[Combat Vehicle]]s. The large and easily accessible cargo bays are also highly adaptable, with many ''Triumph''s modified to carry [[AeroSpace Fighter]]s, [[BattleMech]]s and even surface naval craft. Even with relatively easy and fast cargo off-loading times, like many troop carriers, the ''Triumph'' is not designed to enter contested territory and its meager armor and weaponry leave the class extremely vulnerable to hostile fire.
  
Only one ''Triumph'' per year was able to be produced at Rashpur-Owen's [[Capella]] shipyards,<ref name=OR143/> one of two production sites of the class.<ref name=OR70/>
 
  
== Armament ==

==Armament==
Focused toward its role as a troop carrier, the ''Triumph'' had fairly light armament, with a nose-mounted [[PPC]], [[AC/10]], [[LRM-20]] and twin [[medium laser]]s, supported by an [[AC/5]], [[LRM-15]], a [[large laser]] and two mediums in each wing. The rear of the craft was protected by a single [[LRM-10]] and two medium lasers, ensuring that the craft rarely entered contested territory without protection from [[aerospace fighters]] and fellow DropShips.<ref name="DS&JSp32+"/><ref name="TRO:3057p48+"/><ref name="TRO:3057Rp46+"/>

== Cargo ==
 
Three huge cargo bays on the lowest decks of the craft gave the ''Triumph'' the capacity to carry a complete armored vehicle battalion, easily accessible via the two large doors in the DropShip's sides. Two 1,000-ton capacity bays were located in the aft portion of the vessel, normally reserved for supplies and parts as restricted floor space limited them to four vehicles. Despite their limited access, they were almost ideal for carrying 'Mechs, a common modification.<ref name="DS&JSp32+"/><ref name="TRO:3057p48+"/><ref name="TRO:3057Rp46+"/>

*;Upgrade : [[BBP Industries]] of [[Luthien]] unveiled an advanced-tech redesign of the ''Triumph'' in [[3057]], attempting to combat the venerable craft's lackluster weapons array, trading out the AC/10 for a [[gauss rifle]], the standard model PPC for an [[ER PPC]], switching the large lasers for [[ER Large Laser|extended range models]], trading two standard mediums for [[medium pulse laser]]s, and adding [[Artemis IV FCS]] to all the LRM launchers. While representing fairly minor changes to the armament, unlike many other [[lostech]] refits, BBP also attempted to redress some of the other annoyances of the ''Triumph'', replacing the single large vehicle bay ramp with a pair of narrower ones which provides simultaneous access to both upper and lower bays, while also allowing the crew to shift vehicles about while in flight. The smaller bays were also factory upgraded to include four 'Mech cubicles that allowed the upgraded ''Triumph'' to transport a 'Mech [[lance]], as well as the armor battalion.<ref name="TRO:3057Rp46+"/> BV (1.0) = 3,160;<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 239</ref> BV (2.0) = 3,282
