OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent:
  • In Character:
    • Create a software that can enhance coordination and mutual support between nearby stationary gunnery and defending snub fighters in a dogfight.
  • Out Of Character:
    1. Create a simple software technology that can be implemented in thread to make Wookiepedia submissions more advanced on the fly without having to create whole new factory submissions.
    2. create a new technology that can be used in the creation of new factory submissions.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Dornean Braha'ket Fleetworks Conglomerate
• Affiliation: Anyone
• Market Status: Open-Market
• Model:
  • Full Name: Point-Defense And Flight-Control Interlocking Exchange Software
  • Acronym: P.A.F.I.E.S.
• Modularity: No
• Production: Mass-Produced
• Material:
  • Binary Code
  • Trinary Code
  • Elements of Computerized Combat Predictor software
  • Elements of TECMIS

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Coordinates the flight control systems in ally starfighters to work in concert with nearby turret fire control systems.
• Analyzes flight patterns of enemy and ally fightercraft to predict their potential actions and reactions.
• Sends ally fightercraft procedurally generated flight data to help them lure or corral enemy fighters into effective kill boxes for nearby point-defence turret emplacements.
• Generates firing solutions for point-defence systems based on analyzed flight data on ally and enemy fightercraft and calculated predictions of their movements.
• Assigns targets to ally fightercraft that are a threat to point-defended structures such as stations or capital ships. This is done to take the "workload" off of point defences as they endeavour to defend the aforementioned ally fighters in mutual exchange.
• Updates are regularly available on the holonet. This way, the software can remain relevant and keep pace with modernizing military technologies.
• The user interface is highly intuitive and adaptable. This is done so that the software can be easily downloaded and used quickly in combat. The UI has settings that can be quickly adjusted for different race physiologies or computer operating systems.

STRENGTHS

• Area Access Denial - when ally fighters are close to the point-defences of a structure that is implementing this software, they endeavour to exchange devastatingly effective mutual support to repel or destroy enemy fighters.
• Victims Of Causality - this system is significantly more effective against Non-force-users and droids than it is against force-users. This is because non-force-user enemies are typically much easier to analyze and predict by logical means and algorithms.

WEAKNESSES

• Swam Out Too Far - this software becomes less effective the further out a fighter strays out from the protection of point defences. The system does attempt to guide ally fighters closer to point defences, but pilot error and enemy cunning can sometimes overcome this.
• A Higher Power - No matter how powerful the computer is that uses this software, the Force is still difficult to predict by corporeal means. Most force-users have little difficulty divining maneuvers to outsmart the algorithms produced by this technology.

DESCRIPTION
For centuries, the Dornean Navy has used superior tactics and training to overcome megalithic enemies such as the Galactic Empire. But one weakness the Dorneans struggled with was due to their long life spans. Being able to live for three centuries, Dorneans typically preferred to rely more on experience and knowledge than thorough documentation and ubiquitous formatting. It is believed that this psychological blind spot is what typically lead to them never producing a large navy, or larger ships.

During the decades when millions of Dornean went to live as refugees amongst the Elysium Empire and Damascus Station, they spent time mingling very closely with other cultures and species. They learned new ways of thinking and were exposed to new technologies. While having much to offer themselves, they were challenged to keep up with their cultural peers.

When it came time to return to their homeworld, they took many technologies and ideas with them. They put those things to use, striving to rebuild their once respectable navy, and improve on what once was.

One such inspiration they drew from was the TECMIS software and how it came to be. Having been once hand-written and inconsistent, TECMIS had eventually been properly developed for consistency and ubiquity. The Dorneans took this lesson and adopted it for a software system of their own.

PAFIES is the final form of one of the Dornean's secret weapons. The Dornean Gunships, famous for serving the old Rebel Alliance and for always punching above its weight class, had never been revealed for why they were so powerful. Despite being outnumbered, outclassed, and out-gunned, the Braha'toks were famous for holding their own against larger ships, and swarms of enemy fighters.

The older version of this software allowed Dorneans to coordinate effectively with starfighters to make their numbers fight like tenfold. While enemies such as TIEs would attempt to strike against capital ships, they would be blindsided by fighters. Whenever the enemy tried to occupy the defending fighters, they would find themselves trapped in the gauntlet of turret fire.

PAFIES is superior to that old software, if for no other reason than it is consistent and properly formatted. It also incorporates elements of the Predictor system, once developed by the old Inperial Remnant. It is updatable, and modifiable with relative ease. However, being an older concept, the Dorneans decided that it was time to develop newer technologies and that it was time to pass on their old ideas to other races…

… for a price.

By offering this software on the open market, they mean to use the revenue to rebuild their navy and their homes.
