Ostensibly the Laxmi class is just the command section of the Trinity assembly. But The Laxmi class is a heavy cruiser comparable to the Excelsior in size and function.
Like the Excelsior, the Laxmi class is used in mainly two ways:
* As a control ship - the Laxmi class captures and “holds” a part of space during tactical operations. This is helped by the multi-phaser array that the Laxmi class has and the shuttlebay which can hold several fighter craft
* As a flagship - the bridge of the Laxmi Class is also the main bridge of the Trinity class when fully assembled. When disassembled, the Laxmi class is the flagship of the Trinity mini-fleet.
