Other Equipment: Standard Sensors Package

Engines

- Sekotian ZY-100 engines pack a punch for their size. There are four of them installed on the Scimitar cruiser while the larger “Xyto” cruisers use a different type of engine. Although the engines are different, they still use the crystal start mechanism. This will save lives in the long run. The ZY-100 has been designed by Sekotan/ORS/TTR mechanics to be the newest in stealth engines. It is designed specifically for stealth purposes. The power generators, which supply power to the engines have been covered with special durasteel plating to reduce the radiation emissions. Noise from the engines has been greatly reduced due to newer and smaller parts for the engines.


Maneuvering Jets

- The addition of inlayed maneuvering jets will allow for faster turning as well as better maneuvering ability in combat. The jets, when needed, extend out from the hull in order to activate.


C3 Computer
- Built by Comar for use in the Tri-Tracker, the Countermeasures Compensation Computer attempts to account for the jamming and evasion devices used by its targets. The C3 extrapolates the target's continued trajectory and feeds that into the targetting device





Ion-enabled Sensor Tag
- This form of targeting system was used during the last decades of the Old Republic. Starships equipped with this system could fire an ion-shielded tag at their target. The ion shielding served to drain the target's protective shields, while the tag lodged itself onto the hull and provided a guidance mechanism for volleys of nano-missiles


EXVR-1 Guardian Grid
- This was the name of an ion generation field produced during the height of the New Order. Known as an ion defense grid, the EXVR-1 was essentially a durasteel tunnel lined with wide-pattern ion cannons. The EXVR-1 could unleash a barrage of intense ion energy on any ship passing through it, rendering the electrical and computer systems of the craft inoperable and, in many cases, permanently damaged. (NOTE: On the Scimitar, each EXVR-1 Grid contains 4 Ion Cannon Emplacements)

- Gravitic Shield

A rare form of starship shielding that uses an anti-graviton field to counteract the effects of a gravity well projector. A few Imperial assault ships were built with this type of shield near the end of the Galactic Civil War.

- Merilang-1221

This device was a full-spectrum numerical analyzer, and was designed to process incoming transmissions for any numerical encryption. It is used to quickly decrypt intercepted transmissions.

- Vanish 2 Sensor Mask (Upgraded)

Developed and manufactured by Fabritech (And later modified by ORS technicians), 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.

- Corrupter Cloaking Generator

There will be a seperate R&D submission for this.

- Retractable Weapons Cannons

After reviewing recent battle reports, it has come to the attention of ORS and TTR military officials that weapons cannons mounted on the hull of a ship presents open targets to enemy gunners. To combat this, all weapons cannons on the Scimitar are retractable. They go through three phases in order to fire. One, the cannon comes out of the hatch in the side of the hull. Two, the cannon fires. Three, the cannon retracts into the hull, recharges, and is ready to fire again. The rails on with the cannon moves have been coated with lubricant to counteract the slow moving cannon. This assures that the cannon can move into firing position and retract quickly.

- ASG (Advanced Sonar Generator)

Cloaked ships are very difficult to detect, and in some cases, completely undetectable. This is because sensors rely on the sound emissions, engine wake, communication, and other variables to locate a ship. When a ship is cloaked, these factors are nonexistant. However, while the ship is cloaked, it is still there. It is still in normal space, it is just hidden. The easiest way to combat this is to use a sonar system. The Scimitar utilizes hundreds of sonar generators, placed strategically on it’s hull to send out a sound beacon. Once this beacon strikes something, like the hull of a ship, or a planet’s atmosphere, it immediately ‘bounces’ back to it’s origin point. An operator then records the incident, therefore detecting a cloaked ship.

EDIT: Got rid of the other sheilds.
