"Be Recognized"



Overview


There is an old saying about the sea, that it is slow in recognition but fast in sinking those unfit to sail her. Here at Blue Trident, we strive to do just that: be recognized. Using lessons from two prior iterations of subyards in the form of the Aries and Mars Subyards, Blue Trident has refined the art of submarine construction into something truly unique. Every submarine, submersible craft, and munition that rolls off our production lines are unlike any other, defined by both their unique visuals and appearance as well as the abilities they provide. The proven designs and versatile abilities of these vessels are second to none and the combat record of submarines like the Trident and the Reverence speak for themselves. Further we are the only facility capable of the mass production of submarine fighter craft, the bleeding edge of underwater combat. Whatever your nation, whatever your doctrine, when you partner Blue Trident for your underwater needs one thing is for sure.

You will be recognized.




What makes Blue Trident Subyards Different?


Image

Vessels like no Other


If you want to buy a simple submarine meant to sneak behind enemy line or act as strategic deterrence we can offer that, but why settle for the bottom line? Why settle for whats expected when you can have the most powerful fleet below the waves? While we do stock conventional SSN and SSB submarine classes, Blue Trident specialties in two fields being large scale durable submarines and small nimble submersible craft. Our larger submarines are durable long range combat platforms capable of operating both in groups or alone depending on mission scenarios. Meanwhile our smaller submersible craft support and defend these larger vessels as well as provide a potent strike platform to reach across entire oceans. The union of these two design philosophies creates entire new doctrines of marine combat, creating dominance for you and ruin for those who stand against you. If you don't want to completely rewrite your naval doctrine, these vessels can fit perfectly into a conventional modern navy if needed to do so. Whatever your needs, whatever your foe, be assured that our products will ensure security for your nation.

The Road to Blue Trident

Postby The Yards » Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:48 pm



The Road to Blue Trident



So I am placing this here for those of you who are both new to the ideas that have been posted to this storefront, because unlike other that have come and gone this storefront is the third iteration of a concept that was started nearly a decade ago at this point. I have been on NS for a long time and during my time here I have always tried to find a way to bring a bit of uniqueness to the site, this storefront is an example of that. But there is a bit of backstory for this forum. In 2014 I stumbles across the idea of submarines that were not just meant to support and stalk surface craft, but engage them on an even playing field in a show called Seaquest DSV. It was sort of a poor mans Star Trek for the sea that wasn't anything to write home about, but the first and third season really intrigued me. The series displayed underwater combat and exploration in a way no other show had. Submarine fighters, underwater wars over deep ocean cities and resources, the entire idea captivated me. However, the series was cancelled due to poor viewership and (frankly) mediocre writing. That was where this idea should have ended, that was if it wasn't for an Australian named James Ward.

James was like me, a fan of the ideas that SeaQuest DSV presented in terms of underwater combat and world-building. Unlike me, he took the ideas that Seaquest DSV started and created his own series of stories called Atlantis DSV, following the story that SeaQuest DSV began and expanding the world it created. He and several talented digital artists brought the world of SeaQuest to life once more with stories and visuals and the show which had abruptly ended once again found life. James and company, if by some chance you are reading this, thank you all for your work on this series. It honestly was a great read and the care and love you put into Atlantis DSV is blatently obvious across all of the chapers and shorts. However, like SeaQuest DSV, its successor would be cut short due to IRL reasons and the website for the entire thing would be removed along with any and all references to it across most of the web in 2018 - save for one place: NationStates.

When I first started playing NS in 2015 on a regular basis it was a blast, but after reading Jame's work I wanted to see if there was a way to include the advanced weapons and technologies onto this site. In May of that year I decided to try my hand at creating a storefront, something I had never done before, and use the submarines from Jame's work and SeaQuest DSV as the selling point. It still is on file today and it was called Aries Subyards, but it was what you expected for a first time storefront. In short, the storefront lack everything needed to be successful and I was not happy with how it looked or felt. So, I looked at the other major active storefronts at the time and saw what made them successful and went back to the drawing board. In September of that year I launched the successor to that storefront: Mars Subyards. It was more polished, visually more appealing, and presented more options. However, looking back on it the storefront is woefully outdated and messy by today's standards. This storefront would run until November of 2017 when IRL matters forced me to shut down and back away from NS for a while.

I did eventually come back and when I did I also pulled up Jame's website to look back on some of the library he had created for a bit of nostalgia. When I saw that the website and all associating sites (save the websites blog service) was taken down I was surprised and realized that all of the information that his website had was now located in only one place, Mars's Storefront. I saved what data I could along with any images and such to preserve Atlantis DSV in some form. I didn't really know what to do with it from there besides keep the archive of the series in my hard drive. A week ago (as of writing this) I thought about bringing it back to the one place where it still existed, here. So, Blue Trident was born as a result of trying to preserve this forgotten IP and have a bit of fun gameplay on the site while doing it. I'm not expecting this storefront to do well or even sell any large orders, but at the very least it serves as a place where anyone who is intrigued by the idea of SeaQuest DSV or Atlantis DSV to bring the ideas to life in NS. And for those of you just finding out about this series via this message, welcome to the club! And hey if anyone has any ideas or wants to start the next chapter of this IP maybe we can create something new here on this website, though I am a bit too busy IRL to keep up with the work myself!

If you want to have access to James's works, feel free to TG me, I have all of the published works for Atlantis DSV and the two short stories associated with it. I will see if there is a way for me to link the files here somehow in the future. To get access to SeaQuest DSV (legally) you need to have a Peacock account because MSMBC doesn't like to share. Sorry =/

With that being said, please enjoy what Blue Trident has to offer. I hope it serves its purpose as a place for ideas, memories, and a bit of fun in the days ahead. And I hope that the IP of SeaQuest and Atlantis becomes an inspiration to you as much as it did for me.

News and Updates


04/02/2023 - Grand Opening!
Hello all and welcome to Blue Trident Subyards, a facility owned and operated by The Yards. There is still a lot I need to type and update on each store page but all of the basic information in regards to statistics for our products has been fully launched. That being said this first month or so of operations will be a sort of 'Beta' for Blue Trident and I would appreciate help in sorting through some of the different aspect of the storefront from coding and spelling errors to better layout suggestions. If anyone wants to lend a hand feel free to TG me!

With that being said, this storefront will be expanded upon on a regular scheduled. I am planning to add new products at least once a month, if not once every two weeks depending on the amount of inventory I can create. This includes (but is not limited to) new submarines, submersible craft, munitions, defensive structures, facilities, training centers, and eventually a custom design system (wayyy down the line). If anyone has anything they would want to see added or changed with current designs feel free to TG me.

I plan to have the next major update being the visual and format finalization and the addition of at least one new vessel occur on May 31st. Until then please enjoy what stock is available.

04/08/2023 - DPR Mistake
Quick update, I forgot to list that all DPRs require Level 2 Clearance meaning a background check will be required and Blue Trident will TG the nation posting for a brief approval process. This was my fault and I apologize for the inconvenience, this issue has been addressed in the order form.

Currently our civilian vessels are still in the development phase, however, we do have several planned. Currently, the only ships that would be considered civilian are the Spider and the Launch submersible.
