TRIAD CONSORTIUM OF GODULAR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DATABASE
OOC: This is a documentation thread intended to detail the process of conversion as Godular continues under the command of the Triad Consortium under Baron Skye, Regent Foster, and Lord Steel. It contains mostly secret / Military level information, and anything released for the IC public domain will be labeled as MERCHANT. Feel free to comment, ask questions, make suggestions, so on and so forth. No more than three projects will be active at a time.

DESCRIPTIONS
STAR NAVY REVAMP
Bigger is better, eh? FEH! That big 60km dreadnought hovering over your homeworld is just a big honking show of governmental insecurity. Such enormous vessels are so inefficient and cumbersome, barely being able to move, and putting out only a fraction of the firepower they should be able to. What good is a bigass hammer if you're too weak to pick it up?
The Mako is where its at folks. Based on ages old designs brought to the Empire after the regime shift, this small, yet highly maneuverable and surprisingly powerful vessel is Hell in a one-on-one fight, and even worse when the Triad sends an entire swarm of these things to your door.
The revamp is going to take all of the present Godulan StarNavy, save the Archonal Command ships, which are more useful as mobile centers of command than actual combat vessels, break them down into component parts and scrap metal, and commence construction of a vast fleet of Makos, which shall become the effective cornerstone, backbone, AND spearhead of the Triad StarNavy.
OOC: The reason I'm saying this is only gonna take 20rl days is because I want to see these bastages in action as soon as possible, and because each time I've seen somebody do a spur-of-the-moment change of regime/theme, the fleet reorganizations/restructuring and such were effectively instantaneous. I don't wanna be anything like that, but I also want the revamp done quickly, plus, the twenty days allows me to finish off the research I need for other aspects of ship design, particularly with respect to psionic controls and systems.

Ship Description
The Mako appears as a giant matte-black arrowhead, with serrated edges and glowing blue runes drifting across its surface. It has no visible features for the most part, Having no discernible engines, weapons turrets, windows, or bridge decks. The Mako generates no ion signature, and leaves no trace of its existence short of debris fields that are all that remain of its victims.
It is a silent stalker. Swift, deadly, and vicious in design and application. Well armored, armed, and endowed with exceptional speed and maneuverability, it is also built with a special 'F*** You!' to any who might get the better of it in a fight.
In keeping with the Triad's emphasis on Swarm Tactics, the Mako is a fast attack destroyer with enough firepower to match an Imperial Star Destroyer blow for blow. It carries no launching facilities for fighters, however it does have temporary berthing clamps to enable StarBolt pilots to leave their fighters and stretch out on long flights.
And no, I did not realize that it had a 666 crew complement until after I did the writeup

NEUROSYNAPTIC COMPUTING/CIRCUITRY
In the quest for supreme efficiency in computational circuitry, Baron Skye was first to understand that nothing can quite match nature's own nervous system for sheer elegance. To this end, he has commissioned research into outfitting vessels with organic circuitry in order to improve reaction time and also provide an initial idea into the combination of nature and technology.
This technology will allow for further research, such as the Psychoportive Drive, the Psychotronic Interface, and several other psionic applications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENDARME BODY TANK ENHANCEMENTS
The Gendarmes embody the pinnacle of genetic and mechanical engineering. An army of veritable giants in nigh-impenetrable armor is enough to make any soldier quake in their boots and a puddle of their own piddle.
However, as it turns out, the Godulans had the Triad beat by several orders of magnitude when it came to robotics and cybernetics, and as a result, Baron Skye has ordered research into improving the body tanks of the Gendarmes. This enhancement will improve strength, agility, intuitive control, and environmental capabilities.
In other words, for anybody going up against a Gendarme's twin Man-sized meat cleavers, or even his massive Vulcan Cannons, this just makes a bad situation SO much worse.
