Olivia Dem'adas
Chief of Clan Dem'adas
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: To make an interesting component for future starship submissions.

Canon Link: Etheric Rudder,
Primary Source: NA
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Clan Dem'adas Corp of Engineers
Model: WAke Detection And Ranging Sensor (WADAR)
Affiliation: Closed Market / Dar'tome Mando'ade
Modularity: Limited
Production: Minor
Material: Standard metals, alloys, plastics, and composites
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Starship Component
SPECIAL FEATURES
Like innumerable other military technologies, the WADAR sensor suite began as a purely scientific apparatus. Designed to detect and monitor {CLASSIFIED} to detect the flow of dark matter, gravitrons, and various other elements important to academia, the experimental sensor suite caught the attention of military engineers when academics began to demand that large sections of sky be kept clear of ships utilizing Etheric Rudders, as their use disturbed {CLASSIFIED} and interrupted the academics' research. Upon further investigation by military engineers, it became apparent that much like how a boat traveling through water will leave a disturbance in its wake, a ship utilizing Etheric Rudders to maneuver will leave a trail of disturbances in the fabric of {CLASSIFIED} that can quickly and easily be detected and tracked by the WADAR sensor suite. It was later determined that these disturbances are so highly visible and easily detected by the sensor suite that wide swaths of sky at very extreme ranges could be quickly and easily monitored for the passage of shuttles, starfighters, light freighters, and other such small craft that are typically very difficult to detect with traditional sensors.

Material: Standard metals, alloys, plastics, and composites
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Classification: Starship Component
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Can detect void-going vessels that are actively utilizing Etheric Rudders
- Monitors "the fabric of {CLASSIFIED}" for disturbances created by Etheric Rudder usage
- Can detect a ship using Etheric Rudders regardless of the use of stealth technology
- Wide-area detection
- Long range detection
- Passive detection
- Cannot detect ships which are not equipped with Etheric Rudders
- Cannot detect ships not actively utilizing Etheric Rudders
- Single, small, slow moving craft that move in a (mostly) straight line can often be overlooked
