Description
The Taihou Assault Dropship is produced as part of the Draconis Combine efforts produce a replacement vessel for its diminished navy in the late Jihad era. Produced as collaborated effort between Hinsdale Elec's shipyard and personal from various companies such as Midway Warship Yard and electronic assistance from the Nirasaki Computer Collective. This effort produced a tough and small Assault Dropship which could inflict considerable damage against even WarShips.[2]
Armament and Capacities
The design was conceived as a stop-gap between lost Warship producing capacities of Combine's yards. The ship utilizes Sub-Capital Weapons to allow ship fit better balance of weapons for its mission. The ship has four Heavy Capital Cannons with 60 rounds of fire for them mounted in the ship's nose. Backing up these powerful Sub-capital weapons is a trinity of Heavy PPCs and advanced tech Apollo Fire Control System for the ship's MRM 40 Launchers. A screen launch mounted in the nose to help protect the ship from incoming fire.
In the ship's right, left wing sections and aft, also has additional trinity of Heavy PPCs and Apollo Guided MRM 40 Launchers. An Anti-Missile System also added to each of the wing section, to cut down on missile fire and potentially capital grade missiles used against the ship. On rear flanks of the wing sections, additional Anti-Missile Systems are added per facing flanking sections.
As part to enhance the Taihou's fleet performance, the ship been fitted out with advance tech Nirasaki Naval C3 System. Which like its land based version, help Squadrons of ships fitted with the system guide fire to opposing enemy force.
The ship is protected by 115 tons of Ferro Aluminum armor in addition of the ship's self-defense systems.[3]
