Trident (starship)/Legends

The Trident was a type of ship used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars.

Characteristics


The Trident had at least two laser cannons. The ship flew through space like an octopus or squid. It also could be used underwater, with its "tentacles" pushing itself through the water.

It used its "tentacles" as landing gear and landed in an upright position. The ship has been described as "strangely configured".

History
As the Battle of Christophsis continued, Asajj Ventress used the Trident to leave Christophsis for Tatooine, where she captured Jabba the Hutt's son, Rotta, who was in his father's sail barge. It blasted away one of the two skiffs trying to protect the sail barge, then, with its octopus-like tentacles, grabbed on to the barge and sailed away. Ventress later used it during the Battle of Kadavo. It was also used at the Third Battle of Kamino for an underwater attack. The ship and several trident drills attacked Tipoca City, however it is presumed the Trident was left behind when Ventress retreated.
