Observer R&D 5: Observer Hyper portal Mk II

Observer HyperPortal: MK II


Based on: New Alliance Hyper portal

Components:

Positronic droid processor-The only computer with enough power to crunch the kinds of numbers neccesary for the trip through hyper space.

positronic computer core- to hold a massive amount of information.

fusion generator

Hyper wave safty detector-the part of the portal that well tell you when the gate is safely alligned.

Hyperspace communicator

hyperPortal- is a arch about 3 meters tall and wide.

5 meters large

Basing the new design for the hyper gat MK II off of the New alliance gate project the Observer Order has vastly improved upon it's design. The original had used a large 10 meter platform to hold all of the equipment that was required to run all of the portals systems. The fusion generator has been down graded to a more powerful type so that it did not take up as much space. The Positronic Processor also has be down sized in order to make it more efficient.

The Original hyper gate took a team of specialist to maintain but this new system uses more conventional technology that fits with the standerdized equipment in most starships. So no most engineers would be capable of fixing the damaged hardware. Making it far more user friendly.

Another new addition is the Automated logging system. The gates can recieve communications from each other in order to activate one another by a coded communication network. So if you punch in the code then you can activate another gate. For this system to be effective a shield has been added to the gate. Two doors close over the arch way of the portal in order to stop any thing from coming through on your side.

The Portal still measures three meters in hieght and holds the same limitations as the original. It is only good for travel between locations on the same planet, between moons, or between star ships. The latter is the best use for the gate. Allowing the transfer of personel with out the need for a shuttle.


Technical Issues to Address:

"This hints at an additional peril and difficulty in hypergate operation. When hyperdrive coordinates are slightly inaccurate the ship may return to realspace off-course but intact. If the alignment of a hypergate is incorrect then the hapless traveller will miss the destination and never be brought back to realspace. This would inevitably lead to collisions with mass-shadows and eventual pulverisation to individual zero-energy transcendent particles."

The Positronic droids built into each Hyper Portal have the task of making sure that the calculations are entered correctly so that each hyper gate aligns properally. The droids communicate to each other reporting atmospheric conditions and working together to allign two hyper gates. Once activated the hyper Portals well reach their appropriate destinations.

The process does have inherent problems. It cannot transport through a shield and becuase they use hyper space the portals can be interrupted by devices designed to stop hyperspace travel. Running into a Hyperspace shadow has the same effect of killing the traveler.

The droids maintain the link only so long as they detect no problems with the connection. They well not allow the gates to opperate if they detect any problems.



"Since the hypergates are fixed on planetary surfaces, their alignment must take account of both regular orbital motion and the gradual orbital variations that planets and star systems experience over the millennia. Without precise astrometric calibration, the hypergates will fail. This is probably one of the most severe impediments to the revival of the gatemasters' profession."


Precise astrometric calibrations are important in hyper portal transport. If the gates do not take into account changes in planetary orbits or changes in the placment of other planetart bodies then transport would be imposible. The greater distances of the Hypergates are simply too great for any one computer to handle. The original designers found that they could only account for enough variables to make short hyper portal jumps. The space between a planet and it's moon is the maximum distance that a gate can transport a being. And that distance meets with some risks of being lost in hyperspace or hiting a hyperspace shadow.

The system is more accurate the closer that two connecting hyper portals are too one another. For example jumping between two ships with hyper portals is a simple task. The Positronic droids just make minor calculations for the minor jump. Again the closer the distance the safer the jump the farther the distance the more dangerous the jump.


"The positioning of hypergates on the ground and in atmosphere also has important implications for their functioning. Passing through the air at supralight speeds would probably be fatal. Perhaps each hypergate has a secondary mechanism to expel the atmospheric gases from a shielded channel in a direction facing the other end of the jump. Alternatively, the air in the atmospheres between the two gates may be transported just like the travellers who step into the gate aperture."


The hyper portals use technology based on the Gree HyperGate. As such they have incorperated the Gree's systems that allow a being to travel through hyperspace in an atmosphere. The hyper gates transport not only the passengers but the oxygen that is present. Allowing the person to transport alive onto a planetary body with an atmosphere through hyperspace.



Original Writting:


The Tech to move from planet is highly limited. It would take massive calculations to com up with a way to connect too so distant points through hyper space depending on the current astrological configurment of the galaxy. But is is posible to shunt through short areas of space more easily. A ship to planet hyper gate would be feasable then. All that you would need to do is to lock in the coordinates of one gate to another. Short distances can be predetermined if there are hyper space shadows in your path.

It is posible to construct a hyper gate that can transport beings from areas like from a planet to a moon. Or from a ship to a second portable gate else where. Such as on planet. Allowing a ship off planet to say send goods to the planet instantaniously vs. using a shuttle.

The study of the working Gree tech allows for the equations and processes of the gates to be understood to a limited degree. As we speak more hyper gates are being discovered and when found fixed. Within the Hyper gates them selves is the information on their coordinates. From this information other hyper gates can be sought out for their further use.



-----------------------------------------------------------


The original hyper portal is a TNA creation. Specifically by My charecter Vonta Horn.

The Gree Hyper-Gates are designed to allow travel between star systems by the meams of a Gate way that traverses hyper space. The Gree were an advanced race that became so dependent on technology that they becames slaves to it. They stopped creating new things and left most of their old devices to disrepair.

The New Alliance Rped finding a way to activate the Hyper Gates and with that working knowledge they created a Hyper portal that worked on the same principles as the hyper gate but with a much more limited use. It was a short range system that allowed for relatively short jumps through space.

The MK II hyper portal is merely a more accurate version of the original. It is smaller, has a more efficient power system and a way to keep unwanted visitors from coming through.

If any one wonders how I had the data files on the Hyper Gate and the hyper portal MK 1. Well the data was stored in vonta's two droids. One that is a Positronic droid named A1 the other is Vonta's R5 unit cypher. She lead the team that studied the hyper gates and the team that designed the Hyper portals.


Here is a copy of the original that was originally approved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R&D 7 Hyper portal Approved for TNA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of the 4 of april we can start to build them.

Instantaneous travel between areas relitively close to each other.

B/T

Ship near each other
A planet and it's moon
Between a ship and the surface of a planet

Each gate well work so that you only need the codes on the gate that you intend to travel too in order to reach it.
