Template:Ship Systems
NOTICE: This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.
This page provides a comprehensive directory of the core systems integrated into a starship. These systems are divided by their primary function and overseen by specific departments.
Power & Utilities
These systems form the backbone of the ship's operational capability, primarily managed by Engineering.
| System Name | Description | Department / Roles |
|---|---|---|
| Fusion Reactor | The primary power generation unit. Utilizes complex start-up and magnetic containment procedures. | Engineering |
| Power Distribution | Manages energy flow via breakers and monitoring stations to all ship decks. | Engineering |
| Life Support | Regulates atmospheric composition, temperature, and waste/water recycling. | Engineering |
| Cryogenic Storage | Specialized storage on F Deck and G Deck for Deuterium, Helium-3, and coolants. | Engineering |
Systems dedicated to moving the ship through both sublight and faster-than-light (FTL) space.
| System Name | Description | Department / Roles |
|---|---|---|
| Alcubierre Drive | The primary FTL propulsion system. Manipulates spacetime via a large external ring structure. | Engineering, Command |
| Sublight Engines | VASMIR propulsion system utilizing four engine pylons at the aft for sublight maneuvering. | Engineering, Command |
| Helm | Centralized control for course plotting, autopilot, and RCS Thrusters located on the Bridge. | Operations, Command |
Tactical, Sensors & Comms
Systems used for environmental awareness, communication, and defense.
| System Name | Description | Department / Roles |
|---|---|---|
| Sensors | Multi-range suite for planetary mapping, target ID, and phenomenon analysis. | Operations, Science, Tactical |
| Communications | (Planned) Internal and external subspace transmissions and UNSF links. | Science, Command |
| Tactical Systems | (Planned) Management of defensive shielding and offensive weaponry. | Tactical, Command |
| Internal Security | (Planned) Crew tracking, door/bulkhead access, and Brig operations. | Tactical, Command |
General Infrastructure
Standard ship-wide systems utilized by all crew members.
| System Name | Description | Department / Roles |
|---|---|---|
| Scene Projection | Advanced optical layers for windows capable of displaying 2D and 3D imagery. | All Departments |
| Main Crew Lifts | Vertical transit connecting Decks on a starship. | All Departments |
| Ship Lighting | Controls illumination modes including Standard, Emergency, and Alert (Red Alert). | Engineering, Bridge |
