TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Starship Component

SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Fuel Scoop: Gathers gas and debris from the atmosphere of a planet, from the ocean of a planet, or even material from a nebula or an asteroid field.
  • Waste Recycler: Breaks down and recycles liquid and solid bodily waste
  • Solid Fuel Converter: Turns random gases and minerals into a weak fuel source
  • Synthicator: Uses random materials to create mechanical parts
  • Hypermatter Fuel Scoop: Gathers Hypermatter while traveling through Hyperspace at slow speeds
Strengths:
  • Enables the crew of a ship to refuel, rearm, and repair their vessel without the need of a shipyard or support fleet
Weaknesses:
  • Narrow corridors and undersized crew compartments make for a spartan and uncomfortable tour of duty
  • A reduced cargo hold
  • Initial ship construction takes longer, as does "extensive" repairs to crippled ships equipped with this suite
DESCRIPTION

The Sustainable Warfare Suite is a complex array of advanced mineral harvesting machines and material processing plants incorporated into modern starships designed by Clan Dem'adas Corp of Engineers. The suite was initially developed by Clan Dem'adas after years of survival in Otherspace, and then further refined after the Clan's escape into Companion Galaxy Besh. With the suite installed, a starship can endure prolonged operations behind enemy lines, with limited supplies and no supply chain to rely upon.

A ship built with this suite installed will incorporate numerous recycling and reprocessing mechanisms that range from Waste Recyclers and Synthicators to a dedicated Fuel Conversion Center. The ship's ventral prow will incorporate a Fuel Scoop into its design. With this, the ship will be capable of passively gathering gas and mineral debris whenever the ship passes through a nebula, a dusty asteroid field, or the upper atmosphere of a planet. Once raw materials have been gathered, these materials will be sorted into various processing facilities scattered throughout the ship. When repairs are needed, materials will be transported to various Synthicators so that replacement parts and ammunition can be manufactured. When fuel is needed, gathered gases and minerals will be transported to the ship's Solid Fuel Converters to be processed into a weak, but usable fuel source that can be used to power energy weapons or Ion Drives. This weak fuel source enables a ship to operate at a reduced capacity until a more suitable fuel source can be obtained. Alternatively, if time permits, this weak fuel can be pumped through Chemical churners and Impact Sifter to be mixed with more robust chemicals, or even Hypermatter, to produce standard Fuel Cores.

Unique to this suite is the Hypermatter Fuel Scoop, a device that functions similarly to a traditional fuel scoop, but only does so when the ship is traveling through Hyperspace at low speeds. When a ship equipped with a Hypermatter Fuel Scoop travels through Hyperspace at a Hyperdrive Rating of 1 or slower, the ship will be able to open a number of hatches on the exterior of the vessel that will siphon a small amount of Hypermatter directly from Hyperspace. When operating at a Hyperdrive Rating of 5 or slower, a starship utilizing a Hypermatter Fuel Scoop can gather more fuel than it uses when traveling through Hyperspace, so long as the ship travels for a significant enough length of time to account for the fuel used when entering or exiting Hyperspace.
