Technology Explained:

Wyvern Cannon- a triple cannon unit equipped with state-of-the-art fast tracking technology. Two cannons are high-powered rapid laser units made of Dallorian alloy with an advanced courenth based cooling system. The third cannon is an electrically charged titanium shell launcher AKA a rail gun. Has a back-up short-term power source.

Torpedo Octet- eight torpedo launchers encompassed into one large unit. It must return to its berth to be reloaded.

Bounce Back sensors- Utilizing a dense sensor stream, with a variety of wavelengths, which bounce off of virtually everything, the sensors can create a three dimensional image of space showing everything from all angles. The sensors are disbursed in all directions and the varying wavelengths lets the beams get further with a range of about nine hundred thousand kilometers. The bounce back system can also be used to detect cloaked ships.

DDA- Dust Displacement Alpha detectors—DDA for short; this large and advanced system constantly searches an area of two hundred clicks for any anomalies in the movement of space dust—suggesting a cloaked ship.

Five-Axis Jump system- a system that processes the data in which it takes the five axes that would make up any coordinate in the galaxy and triangulates the distance it would take to get there, the time it takes the ship to reach the point (including acceleration and deceleration speeds).


Complete Astrological Database- One of the most complete databases about the galaxy. Including fully detailed maps of systems, with information on every planet in known space.

Durinalam Alloy- a mixture Trimantium, Lamination, and Durinium; combining the best properties of all three products; the time it takes to press it over enough times to where it is worthy of being a ship’s hull takes a long time, thus making it very expensive. This is what the hull is mainly comprised of.

Slick Armor- Armor plating that pulls back over other parts of the ship to allow the weapons to extend.

Zen’s Garden- A huge garden, that is a large part of the ship. In it is over one hundred forms of botany, ten types of birds, fifty types of fish and twelve types of mammals. It has an artificial sun and artificial rain cycle.

Internal shield array- Shield generators that are on the innards of the ship, as to prevent them from being destroyed by snub fighters.

Electro-pulse shields- with the hull lined with thousands of tiny emitters that release an ionic pulse extending just past the regular shields. These pulses generally detonate any projectiles before they hit.

Bi-polar shields- A combined shield of positive and negatively charged shield energy. While the positive absorbs the common weapons the negative energy can absorb the more exotic weapons I.E ion cannons.

Web Sensor System- Implanting devices in all of the ships in the fleet, they can communicate all of the sensor data taken from any given ship at any given angle and use it to their own advantage. They can also transmit target information and jump coordinates in the blink of an eye. It is not a slave control circuit.

Gap Gel- Emplaced in containers all over the ship, is “gap gel.” Whenever a breach happens the containers detect the sudden lose of oxygen and release the gel. The gel heads to the hole, filling it and freezing instantly. The gel is strong enough to allow the ship reentry into an atmosphere.


Bottom Notes: Due to the radical designs in technology, the Zen class Medium Cruiser is worth four Research and development slots and takes the place of fifteen capital ships spots due to immense cost in production.
