A '''ship system''' is the term given to a major system found aboard a [[starship]]. Each is designed to provide core functions for either ship operations or crew habitation. Some ship systems can only be interacted with by certain departments, for example engineers will be the only department that can interact with power distribution and generation, whilst the Tactical department will only be able to interact with weapon and defence systems.

This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.

A ship system is the term given to a major system found aboard a starship. Each is designed to provide core functions for either ship operations or crew habitation. Some ship systems can only be interacted with by certain departments, for example engineers will be the only department that can interact with power distribution and generation, whilst the Tactical department will only be able to interact with weapon and defence systems.

System List

The following are ship systems which have been confirmed to feature in starships.

Major Ship Systems
System Name Image Description Primary Departments / Roles
Alcubierre Drive Image Needed The Faster-Than-Light (FTL) propulsion system enabling interstellar travel by manipulating spacetime. Represented externally by a large ring structure. Engineering, Command
Fusion Reactor Image Needed The primary power generation unit for the ship, located in Engineering. Requires a complex start-up procedure. Engineering
Sensors Image Needed Suite of instruments for detecting and analysing objects and phenomena at Long, Medium, and Short ranges. Includes planetary surface mapping and target identification. Operations, Tactical, Science, Command
Helm Image Needed Controls the ship's sub-light engines, RCS Thrusters, course plotting, autopilot, and engagement of the Alcubierre Drive. Located on the Bridge. Operations, Command
Life Support Image Needed Maintains breathable atmosphere, temperature, and pressure throughout the ship. Monitored by Environmental systems. Engineering
Power Distribution Image Needed Manages the flow of energy from the reactor and batteries to all other ship systems. Includes breaker panels and monitoring stations. Engineering
Cryogenic Storage Image Needed Facilities on F Deck and G Deck for storing substances like fuel components (Deuterium, Helium-3) and coolants (Helium) at extremely low temperatures. Engineering
Communications System Image Needed Handles internal ship communications and external transmissions with other ships, stations, planets, or command authorities like the UNSF. (Planned Feature) Science, Command
Tactical Systems Image Needed Encompasses ship defenses (shields) and weaponry for combat situations. (Planned Feature) Tactical, Command
Internal Security Image Needed Systems for monitoring internal ship status, crew locations, controlling door access, bulkheads, and operating the Brig. (Planned Feature) Tactical, Command
Main Crew Lift Image Needed The primary vertical transport connecting decks B Deck through F Deck. Features call buttons and internal deck selection. All Departments (Usage)
Ship Lighting Image Needed Controls interior and exterior ship illumination, including standard, emergency, and alert lighting modes (Red Alert, etc.). Can be controlled from the Bridge command chairs and likely Engineering. Engineering, Command
