PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Visanj T’shkali
Affiliation: Closed-Market
Model: Tamar Weather System
Modularity: None
Production: Mass-Produced
Material(s): Reinforced Duraplast, Rubber, Electronics Components


SPECIAL COMPONENTS:
SPECIAL FEATURES:
  • Not only monitors weather conditions and tracks data to predict approaching weather patterns, systems, and dangers, but also seeks to offer limited protection around a starship while landed on a planet’s surface.
  • Able to block sand and other debris as well as to offer limited protection against storms, making it easier for ships to take off and land amid dangerous weather and to resist against passing storms while landed.
  • Allows water reclamation from planet’s atmosphere.
  • Can de-ice the exterior of a vessel, allowing safer take-off and landing in cold-weather environments and conditions.
  • Excluder seeks to dissuade (most) insects and animals from entering a field about the ship, keeping crews safe from pests or dangerous beasts while working outside.
STRENGTHS:
  • Monitors, tracks, and predicts local weather patterns and emerging conditions.
  • Reclaims water from humid atmospheres or other nearby sources.
  • Prevents (most) insects and wild animals from approaching the ship or crew while landed.
  • Protects against airborne toxins and harmful gases, as well as harmful bacteria, airborne pathogens, and other contagions.
  • De-ices surface of the vessel to protect against freezing and snow and ice build-ups in cold weather situations.
  • De-gaussing System demagnetizes vessel's hull.
  • Protects against disagreeable weather such as storms, heavy winds, dust storms, snow and ice, etc.
WEAKNESSES:
  • Protective field effects and de-icing systems can only operate for a total of six (6) hours before Tamar System must be recharged; cannot operate on partial charge. This provides only a limited window of protection, and once exhausted, protection cannot resume until the unit is once more fully charged.
  • Storm shield barrier cannot protect against tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, or similar extreme weather conditions, and crews must continue to take other more appropriate precautions against these.
  • Does not protect against lightning strikes or similar threats.
  • Does not protect against atmospheres which may be toxic, caustic, or otherwise incompatible for certain species’ survival.
  • While it may lower local area humidity while reclamation processor is in use, it does not alter area temperatures nor prevent UV radiation, etc. requiring crews to still take precautions for their own safety and protection.
  • Offers no real tactical or combat advantages or disadvantages, and cannot protect against weapons fire, etc.
DESCRIPTION:

Monitoring local weather (within 16km radius around the ship), the Tamar System accurately predicts emerging weather patterns, approaching storms, etc. to keep crews aware of changing and potentially dangerous weather conditions. Additionally, it can – when such conditions become immanent – project a localized field (roughly 25m about the ship on all sides and above it) capable of shielding against storms (including dust storms, torrential rains, snow and ice-storms, etc.) protecting the ship and crew from harm for up to six hours before requiring recharge. This further prevents particulates from clogging engines, ventilation systems, etc. which may cause damage or malfunctions to the vessel itself.

A humidity sensor and hydro-reclamation processor draws moisture from the atmosphere to replenish pure water supplies, etc. The Tamar System’s final element is a sonic excluder, meant to dissuade pests and wild beasts from entering the field as well, again lasting up to six hours before requiring a recharge.

Ships equipped with the Tamar System then are capable of setting down amid wild environs and remaining protected from potential dangers, ensuring a safe, dry, and temperate area to work outside, i.e. affecting repairs, loading or off-loading cargo, etc. without fear of being hampered by unpleasant weather or local fauna.
