TOO R&D - Vanish 3 Sensor mask
Part one of Operation reflectionBased on the Vanish II cloak and the trickster systems.
Details on use of and new abilities.
<font size="1">Trickster
this is the brand name of Corellian Engineering's starship decoy system. An addition to a ship's countermeasures system, these small decoys could be deployed during flight. They sent out electromagnetic and holographic signals that duplicated those of the parent ship. The Trickster decoys required Imperial certification for operation during the New Order."

Vanish 2 Sensor Mask
developed and manufactured by Fabritech, this device combined electromagnetic and holographic transmissions to "hide" a starship from most sensors. This device didn't absorb sensor beams but, rather, disrupted them by sending back information on the environment surrounding a starship. The Vanish 2 made a ship virtually disappear by sending back sensor data about the starfield around it. (PP)"

Technology:
1 - Positronic path ways with networking capabilities.
2 - Trickster processing system and Vanish II processing system updated into the Vanish III processing system
3 - Holographic projectors
4 - Electro-magnetic sensor masks.
The vanish three is the updated version of the Vanish II system. The vanish three like it's predacessor can create the illusion of blank space by projecting back false electro-magnetic sensor readings and visual data of the surrounding space that makes it appear that there is nothing where a given ship using the sensor mask is stationed in space.
But unlike it's predacessor the Vanish three can also be reversed so that it can give the illusion of either a different class of ship or even project the illusion of a ship where a real ship does not exist.
This reversal of the sensor mask III is possible by integrating into the mask certain operating systems used by the trickster device that gives the illusion of the existance of a ship.
The combination of these converse systems was made posible through advents in the technology avalible.
Operating system description:
1) Increased Processing power due to Positronic tech-
The addtion of positronic technology has made difference. Positronic systems can store vastly more data and process it at speeds far above any conventional system.
The vanish II sensor mask projected an illusion of the space around it sending back duplicate data to a ship that is scaning rather then the actual data of a masked ship. The vanish three records more of the details of such space. Storing more of it, processing it and then sending it out in the form of false of more complete information then the Vanish II was capable of. Thus giving an even more convincing illusion to any ships making such scans.
2) Addition of a Trickster processing system into the vanish three sensor mask-
The additional processing power also allowed for the addition of a trickster processing system into the Vanish three cloak. The trickster has all of the same systems as the Vanish III sensor mask. The only difference is that it projects the illusion of a ship rather they the illusion of empty space. The only thing that limited both systems to a single task of either cloaking or creating a false ship was the fact that they did not have the storage capacity or processing power to be able to do the reverse of each system. Positronic tech has led to a solution to this problem and allowed for the inclusion of both of these operating systems into the vanish three two pronged sensor mask. Now it can both scan space to make convincing illusions as well as create convincing illusions of a false ship. The Vanish three goes one better on the trickster system. For it can project details of unique spacial readings as well as the illusionary ship readings. Making an illusion that is all the harder to see through. This was a mistake of the Trickster becuase if it did not reflect unique readings that should be radiated off of the ship that could give it away as a fake.
3 ) Each system of Vanish three mask is unique to the ships that the system is mounted on-
The complexity of the sensor mask also depends upon the size of the system being employed and the number of holographic projectors and electromagnetic masks being used to make such an illusion.
4) Networking capabity of induvidual vanish three systems.
Included in the sensor mask is a networking option. With it several cloaks in close proximity can network in order to creat even better illusions. This networking allows for the systems to become one system that can overlap illusions in a flawless manner even if they come from different sources. The network transmitters are powerful enough to work within a radius of upto or under fifty meters.

That's not mentioned in your excerpt. All that's there is the fact that they require Imperial certification to operate. And, The [b]RPG[/b] that this is taken from has this device being used by a group of smugglers.
RPGs are not canon sources.
[quote]The original New Order not TRF's TNO. TNO had no control over canon information from the original empire and as such have no dominion over this information.[/quote]
Uhh... yeah.
TRF's Empire (TNO) [b]IS[/b] the original New Order. For all intents and purposes here at TRF, TNO is the same Empire as the one seen in the movie. So any information the "canon" Empire had, TNO has.
The Empire's history is TNO's history.

Project a different type of ship or creat the illusion of an entire ship where only the System itself may exist and no real ship may exist. Hence there is a mass there to project but there is no real ship present as the illusion may indicate.
One more approval please. R&D time has lapsed.

Doesn't this field surround a warship? Therefor, a vessel must be present (in existance) to produce a false reading, correct? How does it "project the illusion of a ship where a real ship does not exist", if a ship must exist to create the illusion?

In need of second approval.

Well Kas approvals well be needed shortly.

anything else kas?
#8 11:04pm 19/11/03
Yes but no one else is responding though. So right now your it.
done.

This isn't like my Shadow Paint either, this is closer to a cloaking system than something minor like paint.
If you want it to apply to ships as you build you will have to increase their build time by 20% as well.
Also, the R&D mods may have different ideas about how to go about applying this to other ships. I really should be letting them do this...
#6 10:23pm 19/11/03
done.
#5 6:11pm 19/11/03
"a percentage of your total meter usage would be better"
Replace '10 days' with a percentage. I would use 20 percent, or so.

Left out the operation reflection part. That is kind of important to have on this R&D.
And that would work how?
