Description
Codenamed "Triikor" by the Kushan after a large species of predatory cat on Kharak, this interceptor design was the primary superiority fighter of the Taiidan Empire before and during the Homeworld War, and remained a weapon of choice for both factions of the Taiidan afterwards. The Triikor is known for its unusual asymmetric silhouette, owing to its laterally-mounted gun. While the offset center of gravity can make the ship difficult to fly, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the Triikor is capable of some unique maneuvers that can give it an edge in fighter-to-fighter combat. It matches up evenly with the Kushan "Blade" interceptor developed during the Homeworld War.

This version of the Taiidan interceptor bears the original imperial colors, used during the Homeworld War and afterwards by the Taiidan Imperialist faction. If you're looking for the gray-and-teal Taiidan Republic color scheme, you can find that version here. You can also find a version with the black-and-dark-gray Taiidan Elite Guard color scheme here.

This re-creation is based on the original Homeworld version of the Taiidan interceptor. It is exactly 200 blocks. This was not an easy ship to do in 200 blocks, so some minor angles and details had to be compromised to keep it under the block limit. Because of the trailing engine spike, Avorion places the engine glow slightly behind where it should be - there's unfortunately nothing I can do about this.

Screenshots (besides the auto-generated preview image) show fighters at true scale - when you use this blueprint to produce fighters, that's the level of detail you can expect from the final product.

This ship is intended for use as a fighter blueprint, as it lacks the critical ship components necessary for player control.

Suggested weapons: Chaingun, railgun

Super hoping the imperialist faction comes back with a vengeance in the new Homeworld 3. Loved fighting these guys and the fact they weren't in HW2 in any meaningful way still annoys me.
