Approved Tech Royal Naboo Shipwrights Deepsight Probe Launcher

Status
Not open for further replies.
Manufacturer: Royal Naboo Shipwrights, circa 900 ABY
Type: Mechanical
Market Status: Open Market
Production: Minor
Weight: Heavy
Size: Average
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Dedicated short-range collision-avoidance sensors for safer launches.
  • Frictionless interface with host vessel sensor and fire control systems for ease of probe deployment and assignment.
  • Recessed and insulated construction.
  • Automated and self-contained probe repair capabilities.
  • Internal conversation environment/routing between probe droids to reduce boredom.
STRENGTHS
  • Can maintain, rapidly deploy, recover, and repair a large number and variety of Naboo scanning probes.
  • Well-protected and durable; visually similar to a well-armored airlock.
  • Probes can be outfitted with basic warheads in an emergency.
  • Probes can radically extend and broaden a ship or station's tactical and strategic scanning abilities.
  • Self-contained and easy to install if the space is available.
WEAKNESSES
  • Requires a significant internal space allotment. Only suitable for corvettes and larger.
  • Easily disabled with ion cannon fire, preventing maintenance, deployment, recovery, and repair.
  • Mission-specific probe loadouts require tradeoffs between probe types. Nobody carries 'lots of everything.'
DESCRIPTION
The Royal Naboo Shipwrights Deepsight is a standard next-generation probe droid deployment system suitable for strategic, tactical, constabulary/patrol, and especially survey vessels. RNS designed the Deepsight as a replacement for the stalwart RASP model, but is more durable, more reliable, faster to launch, and boasts a higher capacity and new maintenance/repair functions, at the cost of increased bulk. Its turadium construction and advanced systems restrict it to minor production.

The Deepsight maintains fully modernized versions of the following probes in mission-specific numbers and combinations:
  • The Strategic Intrasystem Active Reconnaissance (SIARC) probe takes comprehensive scans of enemy forces and areas of heavy cover, such as dense nebular regions. Its secondary mission profile is advance warning through hyperspace traffic detection.
  • The Interdiction and Customs Inspection (INCIS) probe takes in-depth short-range scans of unknown vessels. Its secondary mission profile is tactical interdiction via a miniaturized pulse-mass generator.
  • The Extended Prospecting and Atmospheric Reconnaissance (EXPARC) probe scans astronomical bodies and phenomena for raw materials and lifesigns.
  • The hyperspace-capable Superluminal Reconnaissance (SUREC) multirole probe is suitable for prospecting, exploration, and strategic or tactical missions.
The Deepsight is also compatible with other manufacturers' probes of similar dimensions, though maintenance and repair functions will be limited. One common choice is the popular Starchaser Enterprises Starhunt model.

As of 902 ABY, the Deepsight is typically found in minor-production expeditionary vessels, corvette-scale system patrol craft, command ships, and customs stations from a variety of Naboo shipwrights.
