OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Providence was commissioned by Rimward Regional Governments to help counter the threat of stealth technologies posed to their facilities. Giving attackers impunity while they raided and attacked neighbouring systems, sometimes with devastating effects such as leading to direct conflict between governments.
Although the exact method and technologies employed remain a secret, the premise is fairly simple. While most sensors rely on visual, heat, or EM data. Providence is capable of detecting gravitational distortions such as those exerted by a Starship's mass providing an effective countermeasure.
While Novean Engineers continue to fine-tune the technology, it has been equipped to the Reliant for testing.
- Intent: Introduce an Experimental Sensor Array for use on the Reliant and by Rimward Trade League.

- Sensor Components
- Passive Detection - Unoperated Providence can detect large Heat and Electronic signatures at a long range.
- Active Detection - While operated from the bridge the Providence can detect Heat, Electronic, Radiation, Tachyon (Hyperspace), and Gravitational Signatures.
- Omni - While operated, Providence can detect Stealth ships within a 50km radius. Furthermore, it can detect incoming hyperspace signatures to the system it is currently operating within.
- Navi-Computer Integration - In the event, that an incoming spacecraft is detected Providence can estimate its system of origin.
- Experimental Technology - Specialist Training and equipment are required to operate the sensor suite.
- Overtuned - Gravitational anomalies can interfere with the Sub System creating false reports. This interferes with its ability to detect concealed starships.
