ADVANCED SYSTEMS
3K40 Targeting System: Used generally on military bases, the software allowed multiple weapons to convert onto various targets or concentrate fire on a single target. This is to help supplement the 840.z Holo-Targeting Suite when ordered to converge all weapons on one enemy point. (x)
840.z Holo-Targeting Suite: In conjunction with the targeting computer, the 840.z Holo-Targeting Suite allowed improved accuracy for the CQ-0001 during tense combat. This was a necessary upgrade as the targeting computer itself was strained from the large amount of weapons systems, the 840.z allowing it to balance out the strain. (x)
Cap Drain: Mainly to stop the effects of EMP and Conner Nets. (x)
Control Jets: Allows the CQ-001 to turn more efficiently than before...if possible. (x)
Electronic Countermeasures: Made to fool sensors as well as counter some electronics. (x)
HIMS: Able to bypass through hyperspace gravity wells (x)
Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor: The Hyperdrive Signal Interceptor detects flucations in the local area though not of its destination nor the type of ship. This sensor is used for the purposes of intercepting or patrolling heavily guarded sections of space. Also used to prevent being ambushed via hyperspace, giving some notice for stations to be at the ready. (x)
Nightshadow: The entire ship is coated in Nightshadow, allowing it to be harder to detect on sensors. (x)
Stygium Cloaking Device: A cloaking device to allow the CQ-0001 to pass by undetected through system space. (x)
Thrust Trace Damper: Made for capturing emissions from the engine drives to capture the exhaust to prevent itself form being seen. (x)
Strengths:
- A Cloaked Invasion Ship?!: This is designed to land undetected and bring forth an army before the invasion truly begins with speed behind it though not much maneuverability.
- It Holds What?!: It holds a regiment of troops, several support squadrons to bring vehicles and infantry faster to the battlefield, a starfighter squadron for personal defense, twelve squadrons of tanks/speeders/walkers and even have light freighters dock on top for transport.
- Paper Thin Hull: Once the main deflector shield is down, a few good shots will go through the hull and destroy anything behind it.
- Ion Cannons Suck: If hit with to much Ion damage, it could shut down the entire CQ-0001.
Some days you just cannot have your way. With the destruction of the facilities on Ord Mantell, some of the technicians blueprints were recovered though the volatile nature only allowed one to be pulled from a still functioning databank. In it was the prototype design only known as the CQ-0001. A Swan Song of a sort from the C-9979 Series from the Clone Wars, it was designed fro more room that possible while increasing the dimensions by nearly three fold, turning it into a functioning frigate. The design required Stygium Cloaking Device, a Thrust Trace Damper along with a HIMS to bypass gravity wells.
Common things found in the blueprint included the new Cap Drains, Control Jets, Hyperdrive Signal Interceptors and even dual Targeting Systems. When acquired by one Kenth Berik, he noticed that the base design was already in development on Ord Mantell. Taking the CQ-0001 for himself, it was modified in the week following to connecting important subsystems as well as getting the cloaking device online. Once finished, it was deemed a rather deadly ship. While not high in the armament nor the defense department, something mislabeled in the blueprints apparently was taken seriously by the tech teams.
Moving it was almost moving a starfighter, it was extremely quick for its size. Even when cloaked, this would be a nasty surprise to those that run into it. The only bad thing was how slowly it turned, seeminly given control jets to force it to turn faster but perhaps also due to the engine size. With the CQ-0001 now working, the name found on it was "Vicona", an unknown name but kept as it was now ready for the Mercenary Warlords new arsenal.
