The suggested arrangement preserves the pyramid's symbolic hierarchy but moves it rearward within a more practical triangular structure. The pyramid can contain command and propulsion, while a forward section concentrates heavy weapons and shielding and a rear area supports hangars. Separating those functions creates sacrificial or detachable sections, allowing the essential crew and machinery to escape a badly damaged combat module. Another section can be left on a planet as a command base for deployed troops, letting the parent ship depart without stripping the landing force of headquarters and support.

A revised hull can preserve the pyramid's political symbolism while separating command, engines, weapons, and a deployable planetary command section.
