The Triakis FX350/400 is a ship featured in Wipeout Pulse and Wipeout HD. An alternate version with improved statistics appears in the Fury expansion pack.

Description (Wipeout Pulse)

This beast of a ship from the Australian HQ of Triakis offers a world-class shielding system with a great top speed, but will not be setting handling or acceleration records alight.

Overview

The Triakis craft is built like a brick outhouse and handles like one too. Its trademark is its exceptional shield, able to withstand more punishment than any other craft. Of course however, such a high-mass frame also gives it a real disadvantage in the thrust and handling department, meaning that the Triakis should only be handled by the more skilled pilots. However, once it gets going, there isn't much that can match its considerable top speed.

Fury

The Fury upgrade pushes the engines of the Triakis even further, pumping out a little higher top speed and significantly increasing the thrust and handling, making the new Triakis a considerable force.

Trivia

• This ship was the only ship in the game whose stats were unchanged from the Alpha Prototype.
• The Triakis FX350/400 ship uses the handling boost technology from Assegai in place of the controversial and now-illegal reverse-inertia deceleration system (which is actually an in-game bug in Pure), which led to their disqualification in 2206. The purpose of this is to increase the ship's turning capability.
• Possibly due to a bug causing size inconsistency between Zone ships, this ship's Zone variant in Pulse is the smallest ship by physical size compared to all the other teams' Zone variants, as well as every other ship in the entire game.
• If looked closely, the Fury ship has a military-style face with fangs on its nose, popularly used on World War II-era warplanes.
• The PS3 dynamic wallpaper for the Fury expansion features the Triakis Fury ship, being thoroughly tested and able to shapeshift into many modes (such as speed, durability, defense and attack) as its body panels retract. Out of all the Fury-class ships, the Triakis is the only one to feature retractable and flexible body panels.
  • Furthermore, in the Fury dynamic wallpaper, this is the only ship in the series to make use of its installed weaponry rather than the usual weapons in races, as it is shown to be using its mounted machine guns to destroy targets resembling holographic panels in its attack mode.
