DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES
N/A

Strengths:

• Automation: While under the control of another ship the ability to drastically reduce crew required to pilot larger vessels or move larger groupings of ships in coordinated patterns to swarm enemy forces

Weaknesses :

• Requires Control: While it can function to better give automation and control other fleets the command ship still requires a crew to preform the cuties and monitor systems
• Hacking: Without generally advanced AI systems or protection the slave code could be sliced to take control of the ship
• Jamming: While it uses an advanced and stronger communication system to relay commands. Overpowering the signal that is used can leave the slave rigged ships dead in space without a control ship set up

DESCRIPTION
Designed by Saotome to be another component within their own ships and systems. The slave circuit is both a blessing and a danger. On the one hand you can help reduce the number of crew on a ship so only a small amount can operate the larger ones. On the downside if something happens to the control ship much like with the katana fleet the entire slaved fleet can be lost. A danger presented in many places but with an advanced system that can protect it can be reduced the risk. With the standard thanks to Meran Mechanics neural net built into the ships it can help create better and more advanced automation as needed. As part of a further project being done the circuits are part of a special upgrade system that is optional for more advanced and special ships. Protection for the systems in the more advanced ships that are more specialized and serve a purpose aside from just the standard ships of the line.

The kind of slave rigging you are looking at is quite rare and special in the Star Wars universe, Katana Fleet was gigantic undertaking for the Republic and once they lost it, it caused a huge swath of political and financial issues for them.

Please lower the production to Limited to reflect this.

If you want a higher production, you can make a separate submission for smaller-scale ships. But a slave rigging system that can automate an entire Katana Fleet isn't going to be stamped at Mass.

I will also need you to add some more weaknesses to balance the sub out a bit more. Katana Fleet was a game-changer during that war, but we are looking for balance here in the factory.
