CEO of Breshig War Forge Consolidated
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create an advanced cargo management system for use by Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities as well as for sale to discerning customers.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
- Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
- Market Status: Closed-Market.
- Model: 'Iu'yaniyasa Gar'birgaan' Automated Cargo Management System.
- Modularity: Can be scaled up or down to fit a large variety of starships, large vehicles, stations and installations.
- Production: Minor.
- Material:
- Electronics: Ultrachrome wiring, circuitry and electronics.
- Housing: Combat de-ioninzer, Duranium case, reinforced Duraplast plating and Agrinium mesh lining.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Tractor/Pressor beam emitter(s) w/ Magnet Crane backup: Cargo can be automatically loaded, unloaded, transferred and stowed by the system.
- Armorweave Cargo Netting: Smaller cargo crates are stored in netted areas.
- Magclamp(s): For large cargo containers that cannot be secured using cargo netting, magclamps are used instead.
- Carbon Freeze Chamber(s): Perishable goods are frozen in carbonite before being stored. Food and other perishable materials necessary for meal preparation are stored separately.
- Stasis Field Generator(s): Anything that cannot be safely frozen in carbonite is instead preserved using stasis field generators.
- Heuristic Droid Brain w/ Cargo Management Protocols: This allows the system to become more accustomed to it's working environment and the crew that it operates with over time, leaning from it's experiences.
- Full 'Morutyc' Security System or similar integration/module: Depending on whether the intended installation platform already has a Morutyc or a similar system, the Gar'birgaan can either include a basic Morutyc setup or merely have the necessary adjustments to install the various systems that the Morutyc or another similar system might use.
- Full 'Iu'yaniyasa Larda' Automated Ammunition Handling System integration: Ammunition loaded will automatically be distributed equally between a ship/station's ammunition storage facilities.
- Full 'Iu'yaniyasa Ga'napr' Automated Modular Foundry integration: Spare raw materials stored on a ship for use with either the Iu'yaniyasa Ga'napr or a similar system can be automatically transferred to said systems by the cargo system, negating the need for potentially problematic, tedious intra-ship cargo transit.
- Cargo Search, Manifest and Retrieval Console(s): Each console can be used to list and search through said list of items stored. Additionally, specific containers can be searched for, and then retrieved by the system.
- Cargo Tracking: Every single cargo container is tracked. If it is moved, then the system registers where it has been placed. Cargo cannot be removed without the appropriate security clearance.
- Measuring Scanner
STRENGTHS
- Automatic Loading, Unloading, Transfer and Stowage: The system takes much of the tedium of loading, unloading, transferring and stowing cargo off of the crew's hands. This reduces crew requirements and frees up the crew's energy for other tasks.
- Secure Storage: Both in the sense of cargo being stored in a manner such that it will not be tossed about in transit, as well as in that the storage areas are watched over and protected by a security system in the absence of one, cargo is generally very safe and secure in the Iu'yaniyasa Gar'birgaan's hands.
- Protected Housing: The system's housing for it's electronics is well protected from damage, both accidental or more deliberate attempts at sabotage.
WEAKNESSES
- Power: Should main power fail, the system does not have any redundant backup power systems and will be rendered inoperable.
- Bogged Down: If there is high search and retrieval traffic while the system is performing automated cargo sorting or during other times where the system is system load is high, then delays are not only be expected, but they're likely to be notably long.
- Infiltration: Infiltrators with stealth gear can potentially utilize the usual absence of personnel in a cargo bay using this system as a means for egress.
DESCRIPTION
"Why is there no shabla backup."
- Strill Securities Jurkad Verd during a power outage.
Strill Securities and the Clans of Breshig have never had an over abundance of personnel to work with, and as such, one of Breshig's first products was the Iu'yaniyasa Gar'birgaan. Translating to automated iron backpack in basic, the system is an advanced automated cargo management system that more or less acts like the bizarre image of it's namesake. To input cargo into the system, cargo is placed at one fo the loading locations, the system scans the container, runs it through either it's standalone security module or whatever systems the platform has, determines whether the container is too large to be placed in cargo netting or not, and then places the cargo in the requisite storage section. Food and other perishables are either frozen in carbonite or stored in stasis.
Unloading or transfer is equally simply, the requisite containers are removed from service as requested by a member of the crew from one of the cargo management consoles, and placed at one of the designated unloading zones by the system. While in storage, the system tracks all cargo containers, allowing the crew to not only view a full manifest and the precise location of each container, but also to track if any of the containers have been moved and retrieve individual containers. At which point, the system will move the container as close to the console as it is physically able to do. The monitoring of storage areas doesn't only facilitate cargo tracking, but also helps ensures that there are no saboteurs, stowaways or other undesirables that go unnoticed in the cargo bay.
The main flaw of the system is that it is entirely reliant on the mounting platform's power, and has no backup or standalone power generation or source of it's own. In the event of a total power loss, the system will be rendered entirely non-functional. In the same vein, under heavy system load, search and retrieval functions are likely to be delayed for a long period of time as the system get's bogged down. Finally, and the flaw most detractors point out, is that the system's automation and security functions encourages a lack of organic patrols, allowing infiltrators with stealth gear to potentially avoid detection and sneak aboard.
