Sisgardian OMMA Defense Network under upgrade (SFN open rp).

Technocratic Republics

The already ancient Orbital Missile Mount Array defense network meant to protect Sisgardia from space-based threats is under heavy works from federal engineers.
After the House of Magistrates accepted the Z$76 billion (US$91.2 billion) fund for the reacondicioning of the defense network, the military spheres inmediately began the works through the Engineering Corps to put the OMMA system up to date with edge cutting technology.

Some of the major changes/additions currently being done:

Beam Satelite Minefield: The wide area surrounding sisgardian space territory will be covered with the newly deviced Laser Interlocked Space Mines, or LISM. These satelites (spherical, 20 meters in diameter) are equiped with a highly accurate photon beam projector that allows large groups of them to be easily coordinated from far away control stations. The computer systems that controls them has been designed to order the mines to adopt optimal firing range formations once targets have been detected.
All the LISMs are equiped with fast fire Lockdown MicroMissiles. Lockdown missiles are very small (ten cm in lenght), antimater-driven ion charges, controled directly by the LISM's grav-targeting system. Once it's hits the target, the LMM relases a powerful ion blast that generates severe inestability on the target's energy flow, affecting engines, weapons and computer systems.
Each LISM is also equiped with small thermonuclear explosives (10 megatons), that is only activated when the target has not been stopped by the LMMs. The LISM will keep it's distance until it is ordered not to.


Phased Carboenergic Shield Projectors: Each OMMA will be equiped with Phase Carboenergic Shields Projectors, in order to providee further defensive means. Currently, the platforms have no external protective measure, leaving only the thick neutronium plating as protection.
The shields will be composed of a triphased system, in order to properly divide the energy from the impact and increase the reliability of the shielding system.


Tachyon Space Gravitic Targeting System: Graviton Pulse Generators, or GPG, are expected to be sent within the next two month through tachyon space, with coordinated above the sisgardian orbital space on the bradyonic universe (the actual date of launch will be in four months, but due to the retrostreamed time of tachyon universe, they will arive two months before they are sent). Each GPG is equiped with a powerfull graviton emitter, that locks down over the shadow mass of the target seconds before the target has actually arrived. This allows the QLS missiles of the OMMAs to be sent moments before the target enters fire range, greatly increasing their iniciative on battle.
As they are graviton-guided, there is no time delay between the transmissions from both tachyon and bradyon space.


Light QLS Missiles: Recents advances on miniaturization allowed to deecrease the tonnage of the Quantum Liquid Space warhead (or Quantum Foam De-estabilizers) from 3 to 1.2 tons, thus almost doubling the storage capacity of the platforms. The LQLS retain the same power characteristics of it's predecessor, with the exception that they now carry graviton-based targeting systems and long duration antimatter propulsion means, that increase the max range of the missiles from 1000 to 2300 miles.
The LQLS have been also equiped with a deactivation mechanism, that jumps once the missile enters low orbit, in order to avoid possible accidents on land and air.


Point Defense Systems: Each OMMA is currently being equiped with four Fast Fire Point Range Plasma Bateries (FF-PRPB). The FF-PRPB feature three twin plasma cannons able to fire at rates of 0.3 seconds (delay between each of the two cannons). Although not very effective against large targets, the FF-PRPB are highly effective agains fast moving fighters and smaller units, granting the much needed close range protection against lesser targets, that could otherwise overrun the platform.


Hyperradiation Emmitter Missiles: The HEMs are designed specifically to cause severe damage to organic-based technology, since they are practically harmless against artificial targets. Each HEM come equiped with isolated Destab Composite (highly unestable hypermatter), that is blasted to relase huge amounts of heavy radiation, or hyperradiation, over the target. As LQLSs, the HEMs are also equiped with graviton locking targeting devices. Aditionaly, each HEM is designed to disarm once it enters low orbit, automatically locking the isolated compartment. This way, possible hyperradiation outbreaks on planetary surface are discarded.


Wave ECM and ECCM Systems: New and improved ElectronicCounterMeasuress are being added as well. These new systems incorporate the Electro Wave mechanism, that greatly increases the range and effectiveness of the ECM, by using a reberverating pattern instead of a plain one, therefore doubling the chances of success (increased from around 25% to 50%).
Additionaly, ElectronicCouterCounterMeasures are being added, to protect the missile-based offensive system of the OMMAs from external ECMs.
In the near future, orbital mines including these two devices are expected to be deeployed as well.

Other SFN nations have expressed their concenr for the state of the OMMA network as well, and are expected to further increase the effectiveness of the system.

Further reports will be sent soon.

I feel the need to remind you, just as I've reminded so many others, that it's rather difficult to keep satellites above a specific area unless they are in a geostationary orbit. Any other orbit will track across the earth's surface following a sine-wave, with an amplitude proportional to the angle between the orbit and the earth's equator.

You could get around this using station-keeping thrusters, but the fuel expenditures would make it infeasible; you might as well just use a spacedy-fleet then.

Otherwise, great work.

We are very aware of that, Elven Lady, but thank you for your concern. When the OMMAs were first built, about 150 years ago, we used burner thrusters to keep them coordinated, by using laser signals from the main control platform (The MultiCoord), that was as well linked to Earth based coordinating laser system at Adranor city.
The curent ones maintain their geostatical possition throw graviton coordinators and graviton atractors, so they can adjust their possition constantly by increasing the pull from one of the attractors.
Graviton-based signals have proven to be much more effective than laser ones when sending them from Earth, since they are much harder to obstruct or jamm, and they travel at the same speed as photon signals.

ic:

The council sends its greetings, though this all sounds very impressive we must admit we are at a total loss as to the understanding of the physics behind it, as you are aware, our forté is the entrophic sciences, biology, and the like.

perhaps we could exchange students, you send some of your biology students to study at yagdrassil and we will send some of our physics students to study with you, not so much an exchange of thechnology, more an exchange of education.

once again we are impressed by the advances put forward here, we hope to see some piecetime applications for theese technologies somday

The Vortex Corporation applauds this initiative. As the region contains 16 nations in its current state, we will be glad to cover 1/16th of the total cost of the upgrades. Also, the third, fourth and fifth fleet, currently in high orbit above Sisgardia, will ensure that the upgrades and restructuring of the OMMA defence net will proceed without interruption.

If there is anything else we can do to support this initiative, besides mere funding, please inform us and we will rise to the call. For instance, our C variant of the Spider Drone robotic units, designed specifically for towing, construction, maintenance and repair duties in space environments, could be tested to find out if they can be deployed in the maintenance of the OMMA net, thus significantly decreasing MRO costs and inventory levels.

The Vortex Corp. makes a good point. We are also willing to contribute 1/16th of the cost of this project. Our armada is also bringing in ships to assist with security.

Vortex, once again you lead by example.

Well...we don't lead by example. It's just that we feel it's only just to contribute our fair share to this system that protects us all.

The protection provided by the corporative fleets is most than apreciated, as for, although no inminent danger looms over the network, we currently have few means to protect them in the case of unexpected incidents.

About the Spider Drones, perhaps they could be tested along with our already working SW-SP ProdClone units. Delicate work units with small space working capabilities are very usefull in this task.

Now, our military engineers have proposed teh issue of installing Psy-technology on the platforms, much like the one found on the Psionic Rig on ground base Sisgardia. Therefore, we extend the request of support on that area to both Zethkur and TVC, as for they hold the most advances techniques on that area.
06-12-2003, 19:50
We consider the implementation of Psy technology into the OMMA defense net very desirable. The blueprints and data files associated with the construction and maintenance of the Psionic Rig and the technology used therein have been transferred to the Federated Technocratic Republics. We hope that your analysis will show a way to integrate both technologies with one another.

As for the drones coöperating: if a few of those drones could fly up to the fleets gathered above Sisgardia, we could set out a perimeter and start field conguence tests immediately.

The Federal Engineering Corps extends it's gratitude towards our corporative allies. The Psionic Rig blueprints will be deeply studied, and the report of OMMA integration will be presented soon.

As for the drones, they can be quickly sent via one of our orbital elevators, which is connected directly to the MultiCoord platform. From there, they can be deployed over the entire network, using garviton driven cargo lifters.
06-12-2003, 20:09
We will hoperfully receive them soon then. As we speak, engineers are already studying their blueprints and control systems, to establish an estimate of the degree of congruence between both mechanized types of units. We expect the results to be in soon, and will certainly keep you informed.

ooc: how about adding one of those nifty ion cannons? Using Homeworld technology, I already have it on my ships, and it would be nice to blow up missile control centers like the ion beams in C&C, in case of war

To the Vortex Corporation:

After carefully study of the plans, our engineers have decided that a space-adapted version of the land based Psy Rigs could be implemented as external implements of the main platforms, in the form of non-attached pod modules. In the initial project, they are intended to perform as highly effective long range scanners. In future modifications, engineers proposed Psionic Blaster Bombs, but plans on that issue are yet to be completed.

However, engineers still require information on how the rigs are empowered, the autonomy, range and effectiveness of these artifacts, before any definitive design can be comenced.
06-12-2003, 23:47
To the Technocratic Republics:

We know little of the tolerances of Psy rigs in orbital environments. We could make extensive analyses of the data available to us, yet we recommend involving Zethkur instead. They know much more of these things, and involving them would enable us to avoid any painful mistakes.

For now, TVC will focus on the possible implementation of Spider Drone technology to OMMA maintenance, as well as the addition of one or two Orbit-To-Surface Ion weapons.

As a sign of our mutual frienship, TVC is prepared to issue the nation of Pilon a loan that covers 1/16th of the upgrading costs. This loan will bear no interest, all we expect in return is your continuing presence in both the SFN and WTE
