Tiamat turrets are powered by Fuel Gel. Ammunition is stored in three racks around the turret. The top domed part of the turret can extend upwards to reach higher points for shooting. The dome has four main guns. A balcony area can also be extended for easy access to the Tiamat. The Turrets have four "legs" and have a retractable ammunition rack in between each. A clamp on the base can be opened by kinetic stress, which releases the ammo rounds one at a time. If all the Fuel Gel ammo is destroyed by weapon fire, the turret will ignite due to Fuel Gel's volatile properties. The Pirates had fitted an electromagnetic barrier around the clamp on one turret to engage when one of the ammo rounds was destroyed. This was likely a fail-safe to prevent the destruction of the Turret and alert Pirate
