[hider=Science Experiment 1st Place] [u][b]Ship Designation [/b][/u] GANS - Aegis [u][b]Ship Registry[/b][/u] NX - 0017 [u][b]Ship Class[/b][/u] Hybrid - Cruiser [u][b]Ship Size[/b][/u] 500 meters in Length and 180 meters in width? [u][b]Ship Crew[/b][/u] 700 crew members [u][b]Ship Weapons[/b][/u] Point-Defense Lasers Turrents x12 Defensive Torpedo/Missile Launchers x6 Ion Pulse Cannon x1 [u][b]Ship Technologies[/b][/u] [b]Particle Impulse Engines[/b] - Instead of ion engines, the Aegis uses magnetic fields to produce a constant stream of high-energy particles, as well as to provide vectored thrust. It's so efficient that the tiny amounts of matter present in interplanetary or interstellar space can be collected through weak magnetic fields and converted into a thrust medium. [b]Experimental Inertial Flux Engine[/b] - By precisely controlling the quantum energy level of every atom on the ship simultaneously, the inertial flux engine assumes the inertial states necessary to produce motion in any direction. In effect, by operating the controls, the pilot chooses from instant to instant what vector the ship's atoms will next possess, and the inertial flux engine alters them simultaneously-along with everything else aboard, including the crew and passengers. An inertial flux engine does not operate within a planetary atmosphere. [b]Ion Pulse Cannon[/b] - The strangest thing on a ship of this caliber, squeezed into this Frigate is an intimidating Ion Pulse cannon while not as big as if it was on a larger ship, its destructive ability is still devastating. The freaky scientists behind this designed this weapon to be able to render ships of larger sizes like battlecruisers to be partially weakened after being hit by a charged shot by one of these, while for smaller ships to be rendered incapacitated. [b]Absolute Defense System (ADS)[/b] - Another experimental system for both the shielding and radar system, which hooks up 25 selected crew members onto the special system while the Ship Captain monitors them while doing his own thing. Hooking their consciousness the selected crew members can observe the inside of the ship and at the same time outside the ship during battle being able to sense up to 2 FTL jumps away. The ADS also has an AI program which effectively maps, marks and predicts before alerting all connected personnel of incoming attacks coming towards them. When in battle, the Aegis sets itself stationary as the engines now become generators to create extra energy during battle. The shielding system on the Aegis however are the main focus of this experimental program, which involves the 25 members having monitor the ship's status and statistics while the Captain manually sets up the shields. It is the most powerful shielding system ever created to be put on a ship and can withstand a few blast from a larger starship with little problem. Creating purple hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. This shield system is operated through a pair of keyboard controls, setting up effective defensive patterns based on the information from the AI System, which plots the trajectories of incoming projectiles.

Making the Ageis a ship with a unnecessary ship full of space, as it's 700 crew leaves a third of the ship open for all these extra things. Meaning that there is more space that is going to be needed to cover, as all that extra space holds all the experimental equipment on the Aegis. Due to being a small ship with many things inside of it comes with many restrictions between the programs which will be listed [hider=Restrictions for Ion Cannon] [list] [*] The Ion Pulse Cannon requires to be charged, and targeted after that it will carry itself out until it disperses after a while. During this charging time, shield system will be rendered 50% maximum efficiency and generators will be charging cannon as well. [*] When charging the Cannon, the Aegis will be put into a stationary mode with its engines becoming generators instead to charge the Cannon meaning position before hand is needed if you don't want to be shot down. [*] A short time after firing the Ion Cannon, the Aegis shields strength will slowly be restored and engines will slowly restart themselves before accelerating after some time energy to carry itself onward. Meaning that it not safe after your done firing off the cannon, as everything else has to recover and the energy has to be relocated back to the different programs. [/list] [/hider] [hider=Restriction Shielding System] [list] [*] A person who has high intellect is required to calculate the optimal positioning of the shields even with the AI helping the person out to position the shields. In case the AI system fails for what ever reason, that person who still be able to use the shielding system like normal. [*] Continual pressure from high-yield weaponry will severely deplete energy reserves and drastically decrease the strength of the Absolute Defense System's shielding. [*] An attack of high enough force over a small area will overwhelm the shielding at the point of contact, sapping the efficiency and effectiveness of the shield, which will lead to a structural collapse of the shield.

They are placed randomly around the Aegis as part of the watchful eye of the ADS program. They have basic scanning systems and have cameras installed on them to be view through if they infiltrate enemies lines. They are the normal size of a bird and are really cheap.

A few are on hand in cases of emergency but not many escorts are used for the Aegis.

Thanks to her skill-set she easily knows first-aid using plants from other planets and collects herbs for sampling before harvesting them for later uses. [u][b]Away Mission Equipment[/b][/u] (If your character will ever get off the ship on an 'away' mission, on a hostile world.) [u][b]Personality[/b][/u] (This will be explored more as the Rp progresses - short paragraph is acceptable) [u][b]Quick-Bio[/b][/u] Ms. Remi was part of an unfortunate accident that had gotten her stuck in now what is now her new body. 16 years ago, Remi Evergreen was a normal girl who was going to school and working her butt off to survive in the ever-increasing world that was difficult. Her parents had ditched her early in her life and ever since then she was forced to do everything for herself. Not having much time for a decent life, she was just working everyone of her day for money. One day she was on her way on her every normal busy day, was knocked abruptly off a platform and fell, landing on the floor seemingly dead. Her body was broken and she was not going to live, she knew that as she was being taken to the hospital as her eyes were getting harder to keep open. At the hospital she signed a paper confirming to try and test out a new form of life-saving technique on victims as badly injured as her. Miraculously she did survive, but realizing it when she looked in the mirror she was now an Android, she grew conflicted feeling about herself. Thankful the Scientist and Doctor had saved her, she quickly said her goodbyes and left before trapping herself inside the house to decided what to do now. Sigma hearing this break through contacted her and recruited her into the Navy where she worked and attended school at the same time. With a new found discovery of not actually needing sleep or doing any of her bodily functions anymore made her feel lonely. She occupied much of her time with work, as stamina seemed not to be much of the problem and she quickly finished her schooling in a record-breaking time. During these years, Remi had been doing things for the science circle, posting papers and thesis of her ideas was making her known in the science community. Her discovery as an android in the science circle boost her reputation up as there had been no one like her and soon one thing led to another and she was able to get their current ship, the Aegis.
