Kane Wartide Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Coruscant Stardrive corporation is the name given to the Midnight Corporation subsidiary tasked with creating ships. They are based out of a fleet yard in Midnight City, and have dockyards extending into orbit. Ship Equipment Rotary Weapons - Typical multiple linked gun emplacements will have all guns fixed and cycle through them. This results in a small but not insignificant variance in the firing line of successive shots, which can sometimes mean the difference between hitting and missing small craft. CSC linked gun emplacements are designed to rotate in a way that has all guns firing from the same point, slightly improving accuracy. CSC Electric Paint - This special ship paint is made with a reactive substance that allows it to change color when charged with electricity. It can be controlled by a small device connected to the surface. 360* Holographic Cockpits/Bridges - Normal cockpits have a few problems. The transparasteel used for view ports is not as tough virtually any other type of hull plating, making it a vulnerability. They also have a limited viewing angle and can't easily see what's happening all around the pilot, a serious issue in 3D combat. Lastly, riding near the surface of a vehicle makes the pilot more vulnerable to attacks. To resolve all three issues, CSC developed 360* holographic cockpits. Holocameras are placed around the surface of the craft, and the information is fed into a centrally located cockpit. For larger ships, the bridge is designed as a sort of theater with screens on all surrounding surfaces and the pilot seat floating in the center. This allows the pilot to view what's going on all around the ship. Fighters and other craft too small to have a relocated cockpit can instead have the information fed into a helmet mounted HUD. For these smaller cockpits, the windows are often replaced with armor or covered in armored shutters to improve pilot safety. DEMP Harpoons- A Magnetic ship harpoon meant for capturing cargo, debris, and derelicts, with a destructive electromagnetic pulse charge fitted on the end to disable targeted craft. Vehicles Dragoon Heavy Swoop- This heavy duty twin engine swoop has a number of features to optimize its control and safety. It has a pilot gravity and inertial control system, which limits the G-force applied to the pilot to prevent blackouts and ejections caused by rapid acceleration and deceleration. It has a carrying capacity over one ton, and can handle up to two riders. Its onboard computer features a sophisticated sensor and autopilot system, allowing to rapidly assess the terrain ahead and make course corrections to avoid potential hazards. This features can be set to a passive mode to prevent it from overriding the rider's controls, and instead only provide alerts and suggested routing via the dashboard monitor. Ships Borhek Light Freighter Class: Light Freighter Model: CSC - MT - 03 Variable Configuration Freighter Manufacturer: Coruscant Stardrive Corporation Length: 40 meters Crew: 1 Pilot, 2 Gunners, basic amenities for long distance travel Armaments: Two quad laser cannons turrets, 1 fixed heavy ion cannon, 2 missile tubes--1 on the fore and 1 in the aft section Armor: Medium, intended to protect valuable cargo. Good shielding for its class. Anti-Personnel Defenses: laser security traps to capture intrudes, telescopic security probe that scan crew and incoming/outgoing inventory. Appearance: A long symmetrical craft that gets wider around the midsection Role: This armed freighter is the primary workhorse of the midnight corporation. Its bottom side includes a docking mechanism which allows it rapidly connect with or drop off a large cargo container. Variable Configurations:The cargo containers usually come as a standard freight container, but are sometimes built as a mobile store front from which the crew can sell equipment directly. ----- Exogorth Recovery Vehicle Class: Light Freighter Model: CSC - RV - 02 Wreckage Deconstruction Recovery Vehicle "Exogorth" Manufacturer: Coruscant Stardrive Corporation Length: 70 Meters Crew: 1 Pilot and 1 H4-R0 Droid, which is capable of piloting without crew Armaments: Recovery Equipment, four small high precision cutting lasers and several tractor beams beams on the interior Armor: Light, mostly heavy structural section meant to contain extremely heavy cargo Anti-Personnel Defenses: n/a Appearance: A small cockpit, usually unoccupied, constructed over top of a huge "mouth" which opens into a massive cargo hold that makes up most of the ship. Both the front mouth and the floor of cargo bay can be opened. Role: This is an automated demolition and deconstruction vehicle, used to disassemble and recover debris from condemned buildings and space wreckage. It has a large cargo hold that opens from the front, with a series of cutting lasers and tractor beams designed to break debris into smaller parts and pull it directly into the cargo hold. ---- Fishbone Droid Dropship Class: Transport Model: CSC - DD - 02 Droid Dropship "Fishbone" Manufacturer: Coruscant Stardrive Corporation Length: 19 Meters Crew: 1 Pilot and 1 H4-R0 Droid, which is capable of piloting without crew Armaments: None Armor: N/A Structure is exposed Anti-Personnel Defenses: Locking mechanism that prevent theft. Defiant cargo. Appearance: A specialized craft resembling long fish skeleton, with a cockpit and thrusters where its head and tail would be respectively. The "Ribcage" is a long series of mounting brackets, which can alter configuration to store different types of Droids created in Midnight city. Role: Automated Droid Delivery system ------ Capitalism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
