Intent: To create a new technology for future submissions and role-playing.

Primary Source:
Manufacturer: Visanj T’shkali / Roble Manufacturing
Affiliation: Closed-Market
Model: Nano-Photonic Energy Circulation System
Modularity: Yes
Production: Minor-Production
Material(s): Electrically-driven Nano Light-emitting Diodes, Sybarium Crystals
SPECIAL FEATURES:
What if there was some way to deliver power throughout a starship without needing extensive wiring and circuitry? What if the same system could be used to provide diagnostic sensory acuity to constantly monitor an entire starship, its systems and structure alike, at such speeds that it could allow near-instant corrections? These were the questions that spawned the NPECS.
Nano-photonic circuitry was not a new concept, nor was spaser technology, and when electrically-driven nano light-emitting diodes were used, they could essentially create a networked system of light-based circuitry, operating both as a power system and an artificial neural network. The NPECS incorporates Sybarium crystals to ensure against system degradation, strengthening signal from node to node. However while these nodes themselves are hardened against EMP/Ion, the signals passing between them are not and without sufficient shielding and/or armor can be disrupted through massive EMP/Ion strikes. This creates a serious vulnerability if and when those protective elements might be compromised, opening the entire vessel to serious catastrophic results.
NPECS offers significant advantages over conventional systems. Able to serve multiple functions at once, ranging from power and pulsed electrical delivery to delivery of electroglobins to enhanced computational ability and sensory acuity, the NPECS is an incredible leap forward in systems engineering. The only drawback being that the network of nano-photonic circuitry requires a sufficient and consistent power supply to properly function, and should a drastic power loss or EMP/Ion disruption occur, not only are computational progresses halted and lost, but the remainder of the system faces near-total interruption or cessation, again not only reinforcing the need for potent shielding and / or armor, but for a power supply adequate to maintain performance.

Model: Nano-Photonic Energy Circulation System
Modularity: Yes
Production: Minor-Production
Material(s): Electrically-driven Nano Light-emitting Diodes, Sybarium Crystals
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Carefully arranged network of electrically-driven nano light-emitting diodes provide a versatile and dynamic nano-photonic circuitry, capable of acting simultaneously as an energy-delivery system, artificial neural network, and electroglobin delivery system.
- Reinforced with tiny Sybarium crystals, signal degradation and corruption is prevented.
- Can ‘reroute’ energy and signal to avoid damaged areas, making it incredibly difficult to disrupt the network through localized damage.
- Uses spaser technology to deliver electroglobins in pulse signals as well as to direct and re-direct energy delivery at will and enable nano optical computing networks, all acting at once and replacing multiple systems and extensive physical circuitry and wiring.
- Able to act as MOSFET network, with additional ability of sensor enhancement to allow greater sensory acuity and situational awareness with integrated systems.
- Extremely vulnerable to very powerful EMP/Ion attacks, the system depends entirely on armor and shielding to prevent dangerous exposure which can disrupt the entire network and requiring a total reboot; Computing activities if disrupted can result in loss of present computational activity and require a restart.
- Enhanced sensory acuity extends only to integrated systems and cannot be extended beyond the immediate range of the network; does not enhance ranged sensors or scanners.
- In the event of drastic power loss, the entire system can be compromised resulting in near-total interruption or cessation of integrated systems.
