- LIKON durability: LIKON values toughness and durability, reflected in redundant systems, additional bracing, fusion welded plating, and magna bolted seals. LIKON products are typically known to be able to take hits and keep on functioning.
- LIKON universality: LIKON specifically designs its systems with a minimum of moving parts, and with as much universal access as possible to allow for a seamless and pain-free maintenance cycle. It is exceptionally easy to repair and maintain this item.
- LIKON safety: this product is traditionally extremely dangerous, radioactive, or harmful to the environment. LIKON has reimagined this product to be significantly safer, and has put in place numerous emergency shutoffs, redundant safeties, and environmental protocols to satisfy governmental and planetary agencies.
- (+) Clean mining: energy mining with an energy drill is traditionally an extremely destructive process that produces massive amounts of radiation, energy discharge, and environmental destruction. LIKON has redesigned the entire process in order to address these issues, creating a much safer, cleaner, and more efficient process.
- (+) Heavy armor: this droid is heavily armored with thick duralloy plating half a meter thick. This is necessary since the droid contains a radiation conversion system as well as a heavy fusion reactor; any breach to the system could prove catastrophic to not only the droid, but to the surrounding area.
- (-) Incredibly slow: at two hundred and fifty meters tall, with half a meter thick armor, this droid's sheer size and weight means it is extremely slow to a ponderous degree. Additionally, once a T1-TN has moved from place to place, it has an exhaustive checklist of safeties and precautions it must go through before it can activate - not least of which it has to receive organic verification to activate - which slows its operation down even further.
- (-) Proximity danger: traditional energy mining leaves copious mud, radiation, and energy distortion. While LIKON has engineered the T1-TN to get rid of these undesirable waste products, the T1-TN radiates a fair amount of energetic byproduct as part of its waste disposal process. For a hundred meters around the base of the T1-TN, lethal levels of heat, radiation, and energetic (lightning) discharge are present whenever the drill is active. When the drill is off, these byproducts dissipate harmlessly.
The T1-TN autonomous energy mining platform is a massive droid engineered by LIKON to rethink how energy mining is conducted.
Consisting of a massive cylindrical energy drill mounted on four equally large legs, the T1-TN fires massive sustained pulses of plasma energy into the ground, straight through ore and mineral deposits. Gasifier technology then shunts the vaporized ore upward back into the T1-TN into a massive internal fusion furnace. Inside the furnace, the plasma would be sorted into component elements through incredibly strong electromagnetic fields, then recombined into ingots and slabs for later retrieval.
Traditionally, this process is extremely wasteful and damaging, creating massive amounts of mud, radiation, and energetic disruption. Clever engineering solves these problems in the T1-TN.
First, by using a sustained energy beam, massive amounts of heat is generated at the base of the drill - chromium reflectors and radiators amplify this effect by creating a convection, evaporating any moisture in the vicinity.
Second, the T1-TN makes use of an agrinium shielded firing chamber to direct any radiation downward towards the ground; inverted radiation screen generators (which typically keep radiation out as opposed to in) fence in the radiation, where radiation negators then scrub the radiation - radioactive energy is then shunted through neutrino radiator arrays as harmless neutrinos. In case of total collapse, the T1-TN has an array of emergency radiation foam dispensers, capable of dousing itself and the immediate area in several metric tons of foam.
Lastly, the T1-TN uses a series of static discharge vanes which focus and direct excess energy discharge as opposed to freely venting excess energy straight into the atmosphere. While this can create mild rain storms, it doesn't disable starships and electronics as traditional energy mining does.
The T1-TN represents the largest mining array built by LIKON yet, and is only reserved for the heaviest of mining operations, such as those on designated mining worlds, barren planetoids, or in select mining zones with scarce or special interest resources.
