Trident Orbital Defence Torpedo Platform

The Orbital Defence Torpedo Platform (ODTP) is one of Trident Foundries' oldest defence constructs used by the company to defend key installations and planets in their territory.

Description
Armed with four large fusion torpedo launchers and featuring it's own anti-missile weaponry, a battery of these satellites can defend a facility from almost any attack.

Exterior
Both models of the ODTP are dominated by it's four forward fusion torpedo launchers, with a small control section placed between them. Behind the launchers are four large heat exhaust vents.

Mk.2 ODTPs have a plate of white coloured Sirius Shipyards S-Plate armour plates installed, covering roughly half of each launcher, along with one PlazWorks PD-3 "Ripper" point-defence turret on each side, mounted on raised platforms.

Interior
Only the small forward control room is accessible to people. It seats a weapon operator (an AI system takes over if not present), and two technicians to monitor the turret's systems.

Systems
Four huge fusion torpedo launchers provide the bulk of the ODTP's firepower, with enough explosive power to outright destroy a corvette, and deal significant damage to larger vessels.

Four independent fusion reactors power the turret's systems; four heat exhausts directly behind these radiate the considerable amount of heat the weapons produce backwards and away from the weapons.

History

After the end of the UIS-Odium war these turrets were retrofitted with PDC systems and modernised armour systems to bring them into modern standard with the rest of the rebuilding fleets.
