Bearing two medium yield laser cannons, the Odin is admittedly lightly armed.
However, the Odin is capable of holding its own against similar sized craft. This
is due, in part, to the large engine nacelles. These nacelles provide quick acceleration
and high speed. The fins mounted on the nacelles assist in sharp, relatively vertical
(as it applies to zero-g environments) maneuvers. Of course, the skill of the pilot is
allows a factor in the Odin's effectiveness.
When coupled with the Sleipnir weapon system, the Odin has significantly
greater firepower at its disposal. The Odin bears two docking ports. One is
located above the fuel tank and serves as the electrical connection between the Odin
and the Sleipnir. The other port is between the left nacelle and the
fuselage. This allows the Odin to refuel from the Sleipnir.
