The Triple Eight is designed as a support craft for other starfighters, and have proved to be devastating weapons on their own. Little more than a power plant and an engine for the three Oct-laser mounts, the Triple Eight is a small, trim craft with huge, ungainly weapons mounted to it's upper rear area. It can't really take many hits, but any ship at the business end of the of a Triple Eight has more to worry about than shooting back.

Were it not for the fact that the weapon mounts tend to overload the powerplants if the are fired continually for any length of time, the Triple Eight would be one of the most popular ships currently available. As it is, the primary use for these ships is for sudden, devastating attack runs against small capital scale or large starfighter scale targets.
