Description:

The Tri-Scythe-class frigate was a variant of the Scythe-class main battle cruiser.

The Tri-Scythe-class was based on the Scythe-class, but had three blade-like structures instead of the single one featured on regular battle cruisers of the line. It was also larger and bulkier than contemporary Alliance frigates like the ShaShore-class, due to the increased amount of reactors and power generators needed to feed the weapons-batteries on the three forward blade-structures. The immense power-distribution system was similar to the one on the larger Scythe-class.

In terms of weaponry, the Tri-Scythe-class had less than the Scythe-class, but more than the ShaShore-class, carrying 10 turbolaser batteries, 2 point-defense laser batteries, a tractor beam projector battery, and 4 proton torpedo batteries with a payload of 160 torpedoes. The ship was less maneuverable than the other frigates due to the extra power-support systems adding to the bulk of the craft, and the Tri-Scythe could be outflanked by enemy ships targeting its sides and rear. In addition to more armament, the carried craft complement was also a bit higher than on contemporary frigates. It could hold 12 starfighters, 2 shuttles and 250 troops.
