The vehicle bears a similar profile to the Spirit's "U"-shaped appearance, though with the major difference of a third troop-carrying prong in the middle, giving the vehicle the appearance of a trident. The outermost troop bays were observed by Kelly-087 to possibly be shorter than those of the regular Spirit dropships, though this was uncertain. The vehicle's profile is elongated, with sharp and angular lines and is large enough for its three-pronged silhouette to be made out from even "dozens" of kilometres away.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO13|Oblv|Chapter=13}} | ||

However, this increased payload does come with disadvantages, with the two vehicles blocking the [[pilot]]'s view of the ground below, and the positioning of the central troop bay requiring both vehicles to be disembarked before the infantry inside can be released.{{Ref/Reuse|HO13}} | ||
