Name: SSF-29 "Draken" (Export Variant)

http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/arc170fighter/img/eu_bg.jpg

-Ship type: Space Superiority Fighter (SSF)
-Mission Profile: Advanced Tactical Multi-role SSF
-Manufacturer: Excel Defense Industries.

General Description: After 40 years of faithful service, the old Mrk. III "Hustle" space fighters were nearing the end of the service life of their space frames. After careful consideration, an order by Sovereign Space Command (SSC), dubbed the Primo Contract was issued to the Excel Defense Co. for a new space superiority fighter that would serve as the new front line fighter for the next 20-30 years minimum. The design criteria called for a fighter that could not only fight in space, but also maneuver just as well in atmospheric flight. Its defenses had to allow the fighter to evade the existing and future sensors, as well as shield against existing and future weapons from temporal, to the latest generation of hyper maneuverable super missiles. The weapon systems were also supposed to be able to penetrate future energy shielding, armor, and any other defenses currently under development. The SSF-29 is designed to be superior to any other comparable fighter in all respects. Whether or not that is the case however, remains to be seen.

Special Systems:

-Cost: 350 million USD

http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/arc170fighter/img/movie_bg.jpg

Engines: The engines of the SSF-29 are a new generation of inertial engines that provide greater control over the inertial damper field, in addition to greater acceleration, speed, and reliability. The maintenance hours have also been greatly reduced. It is estimated that having only 1 service cycle out of 4 to be required for every 600 hours of flight time will be possible even in war time. (The engines being a major portion of every cycle.)

The M2 Inertial Drives that power the SSF-29 use a small black hole’s rotational momentum and channels it through inertial transfer lines to propel the ship in a linear path. With the M2, the efficiency of this process is now almost 90%. Sapping the rotational energy from the black hole does indeed slow it down, resulting in lost efficiency overtime. As a result, the black hole needs to be replaced and Inertial Transfer Systems overhauled every 2,000 light-years or so (This applies to the Sub-light engines, and not the FTL drive.). This engine design allows for massive acceleration, and a virtually zero emissions. One of the major design requirements was that this fighter be stealthy. However the large gravitational flux caused by two micro black holes being stored so closely made this near impossible. While a large gravity signature is only released when the inertial transfer systems were activated, and not while the fighter was cruising, (a ship can still maneuver while cruising) a way was needed to remedy this flaw. As such, E.S. engineers developed inertial capacitors, which can store the energy gathered from the black hole needed to propel a fighter and keep it in attack speed. The Inertial Transfer System also saps unwanted inertia from the ship itself, allowing it to perform with unmatched agility. By taking away momentum that pushes the fighter forward, when say, the pilot needs to brake immediately, the SSF-29 can stop in an instant, and also instantly accelerate forward again when needed. Waste inertia is also stored in the inertial capacitors.

In the event that the inertial transfer systems fail completely, the M2 IDs can switch into a quasar mode. Here, mass amounts of matter are dumped into the micro black holes, causing a huge quasar burst. This burst is used as a one shot push that can propel the fighter until its matter stores are depleted.

Weapons: The weapons of this new SSF are typical Eshirian design. Using Rep-tubes, and firing MP rounds, the teeth on this new fighter are tried and true designs that have proven themselves in such recent conflicts as the “Phantom Wars” and the latest ES Talon SpecOps deployments abroad. Targeting the weapons depends largely on the skill of the pilot when dealing with material rounds, however, the missiles are almost a guaranteed hit.

The ALRM-223 “Sprite” micro missiles were created especially for the SSF-29. Due to the limited space available on the fighter, designers realized that the fighter was too small to carry a respectable missile armament. In response to this, the ALRM-223 micro missile series was created. The “Sprite” is a missile that uses the same micro black hole detonator as the larger, older missiles, however, the mass load which is used to cause the quasar burst has to be highly compressed. While this allows the missile to retain the same explosive power as its larger cousins, the new missile requires very careful handling to prevent an accidental misfire. The six missiles that are stored in a materialized form are held within stable, internal bays where inertial dampers allow for the safe storage of the ALRM-223 even under combat stresses. The efforts on miniaturizing the missile were a huge success, and designers found themselves with a missile much smaller than previously required, allowing them to store more missiles than ever before on a fighter. The missiles are held in a rotating rack, allowing for firing in quick succession. The older series of missiles can still be carried; however, they must be placed on external rails.

-Rep-Tube: A replicator tube. In firearms, and other projectile based weaponry, the Rep tube is the barrel of the gun. It replicates the projectile that is about to be fired inside it rather than loading a new round mechanically. The Replicator system is a high speed matter energy converter that can load new rounds at a slightly higher speed than the mechanical process, offering a slightly increased fate of fire. As the basic systems of the Replicator are geared toward energy manipulation, the replicator systems can also be switched over to handle the multi-phasic energy used by standard ES energy weaponry, allowing one gun to fire both typical bullets, in addition to firing energy blasts. Rep tubes come in many sizes, and can be large enough replicate cannon rounds for a ship, missiles for a fighter, or small enough for a infantry rocket launcher, or a bullet for a hand gun, all while still being able to fire energy rounds. The Rep-tube lightens the load for a soldier on the field, and considerably reduces the strain on the supply chain. As new types of bullets are developed, their design can simply be transmitted to the guns onboard computer, and replicated on the spot, right inside the gun, without having to wait for standard supply ships to physically move the new ammo to the troops. Basically fires material, and MP rounds with the same barrel.

-MP Round: MP, stands for Multi-Phasic, which is the type of energy used in ES energy based weaponry. Essentially it is an unstable energy wavelength that is devastating in high concentrations.

Defenses: Once again, a large repertoire of tried and true designs serves the new SSF. There is the usual compliment of multi-energy energy flares, which do not only blind heat sensors, but radio, quantum, EM, subspace, temporal and other modern sensors. In addition to these special flares, there are two onboard MP cannons which are designed to fire upon incoming missiles. A new targeting computer which has been designed filters out commonly used decoys such as dummy missiles and sensor jamming has pushed the effectiveness of these cannons to almost 70%.

The SSF-29 is has a thick ablative armor plating that covers its critical systems, such as the engines, weapons hold, and crew compartment. This armor starts off with a thick stressed Corrolium alloy layer, followed by ablative plates in critical systems, and finished off with a thin finish of additional Corrolium plating on the exterior. The armor was never designed to allow the fighter to withstand direct hits forever. Instead, it was designed to allow the fighter to make its way back home for any needed repairs in the event the shield completely failed.

The shields are of a relatively new design for the E.S. Military. Rather than rely exclusively on standard energy shielding, Excel designers created a shield which they a dub a “Pin-Point Particle Area Denial System”, or PPAD. While the exact operating specs are classified, the basic idea of the system is quite simple. When a missile or energy bolt is detected, a series of events occurs. A small container on the part of the ship closest to the incoming shot will release a mass of heavy Corrolium alloy molecules, which are extremely heavy in terms of atomic structure. The particles are moved into the path of the beam or missile, effectively creating a thick wall which absorbs much of the blow from the shot. In a sense, padding the craft against damage.

Other defenses onboard include the usual EMP hardening, which can shield against EMP blasts as close as 100 meters away. Radiation shielding, which protects against most common forms of radiation, and limited shielding against temporal weaponry is also onboard. The Mrk. V ECM package is included.

The final defensive measure is an optical, and energy masking stealth system. With complete mastery over Multi-phasic energy, which itself is similar to having nearly all forms of energy in the known universe concentrated into one area or beam, E.S. scientists were able to easily create a stealth system that masked 99.9% of all emissions from the SSF-29 for a short period of time. Even Psi sensors are fooled by this system. However, this system can only maintain an effective cloak for a short time, and can only stay completely hidden if the ship maintains a great distance, greater than the weapon systems of the SSF-29 can effectively reach.

Sensors: The SSF-29 carries an ASCS-70 Sensor Input Management System. The ASCS-70 can track up to 2,000 targets at sublight speed, and engage 24 simultaneously. This system not only uses the newest generation of sensors with the finest sensor gradient in any sensor package yet developed, the ASCS-70 also manages the sensor inputs required by a pilot for any given role, including dog-fighting, and the ground attack role. One of the most unique features is that the sensor system is able to utilize the minor Psi abilities present in every Eshirian. While the exact applications of this feature have not yet been fully developed, it is known that this offers greatly enhanced, and in some cases superior detection capabilities compared to other competing designs. The sensors also work with the avionics package to reduce pilot work load by filtering out irrelevant information and only displaying the most pertinent to the role. Ground attack, Intercept and Dog-fighting sensor modes are blended into a single sensor setting. Other relevant information is displayed at pilot's discretion, either through Psi communication with the computer, or through simple voice commands. With the ASCS-70, the SSF-29 is capable of completing long range, solo reconnaissance missions.

Avionics: The avionics onboard have been explicitly designed to reduce pilot stain under normal and combat situations. There are four multifunction displays which display only what information is necessary at the moment. Meaning that if a pilot is closing in on the enemy’s tail, the pilot will not have to flip through various screens looking for which on has the list of available weapons. There is a helmet mounted HUD and two holo-monitor projectors on each side of the cockpit. A psi link further decreases reaction time. More info on this link below.

AI: The AI onboard is our most advanced yet. Its intelligence rivals that of any regular human, or Eshirian (My race) for that matter. While it's hard to speak of intelligence in any quantifiable unit, essentially it's like having an extra twenty crew members helping to do each and every task.

FTL drive: The FTL drive unit is a standard Excel 220 wormhole generator. Modifications offer increased efficiency and range. Not much more to speak of here.

Crew survivability: Crew survivability is enhanced with the addition of an armored ejection pod. The pod is equipped with micro inertial thrusters which under normal conditions should provide enough thrust to at least push the pilot in the direction of home. A miniature base with an energy bath, two small MP turrets, two Psi-commu units, zero-point-energy generator good for a year, shield unit, replicator, and 3 week rations is inside each crew member’s ejection pod. Each pilot already carries a MEG-45, and a few MP grenades for self defense.)

-MEG-45, or Multi Energy Gun, model 45. This is a standard energy hand gun, and not much else. The material round it fires is about the equivalent of a .45. Like all other ES energy weapons, it can charge up a more powerful shot. Every Soldier, pilot, and officer carries one of these.


Other notes: Onboard this SSF, as with all other Eshirian craft, are hundreds of Psi sensors embedded into the skin of the fighter. These sensors are nanoscopic in size, and are laced throughout the ship’s cockpit area. Rather than having a dedicated sensor unit, this layer of nanosenors constantly monitors the pilots brain patterns, allowing the ship’s rudimentary AI to better make crucial decisions, such as what should be displayed on whatever monitor the pilot is looking at, or just how much should the maneuvering safeties be allowed to be pushed back in a certain bank. This layer of sensors also allows a command crew at any location to monitor the vitals of any pilot at any given moment, which greatly increases the ability of medical personal to single out those truly unable to continue a mission, and call them home, ensuring that every fighter that is actually sent into battle will be at peak combat effectiveness.

The internal framework on the SSF-29 employs a relatively new design manner. Every single stress that is placed on the fighter's frame is channeled through the frame to a focal point on the fighter's frame. In this case, the small spherical object in the center of the SSF-29 which is supported by anti-grav generators that help the sphere maintain it's shape.

(Note that because this is an export variant, all critical systems have been programed to destroy themselves in the event that there is unauthorized tampering. Critical systems include: MP weaponry, Inertial drive units, Rep-tubes, PPAD systems, Psi sensors, and Stealth generators. If customization is required, it will be performed at authorized Excel Mod-plants at no extra charge.)

(Thanks to Theao, No endorse, and Argheraal for their help on this little project.)

Some OOC information, which should clear some things up:

-Engines:

(Something I posted up on another thread, but I felt better explains the idea for the engines.)

"As for Sub-light, we use inertial engines. They use a micro black hole's rotational energy, and redirect it to propel a ship in a linear path. Advantages? Huge acceleration, (Black hols rotate extremely fast, so sapping even a small amount of that is more than enough to push a ship somewhere.) pretty much no exhaust, (Making stealthing our ships much easier.) virtually no need to refuel, (Black holes are theorized to continue spinning well into the end of the universe, long after the last star has gone out.) Plus, as an added bonus, I can later utilize that same black hole for making quasars, which provide a huge boost."

-Crew/AI:

Our AI is advanced as any others out there. The only reason I have three crew members, is because the ARC-170 (SW: Ep. III) That I used for the picture has three cockpits, so I couldn't really ignore them. I guess I can changes that in later models.

-Weapons:

Our weapons can't really be replaced. This is because they're explicitly designed to be able to fire anything, and everything from the same barrel, be it energy or projectiles, or missiles. All that's needed is the command to tell it what to fire. But, if you want to replace them with a more limited system, I won't stop you. (If you want me to elaborate more on why this is, I will.)

Tag. I will purchase a lot of these fighters, plus I thought you were going to price them around 300 million? I thought you wanted it to be more
powerful/costly than the X-wings.

(OOC: Hmm? Eh, you are absolutely right... O_O. Price changed. 300 mil is still a bit too expensive for my tastes.)

OOC: According to my military budget (4.2 Trillion), and a calculator provided by my computer, I could purchase 140000 fighters. I don't know if that's right.

(OOC: Ok then. Price changed. *again*.)

OOC: So... can I purchase 140,000 fighters? Or have you not produced that much yet?

OOC: So... can I purchase 140,000 fighters? Or have you not produced that much yet?

(OOC: Nope. Technically, there are only about 20 of these fighters in existence. So... 140,000 is a bit too many for now.)

IC:

"The first batch of 20 fighters has just been delivered to the E.S. SSC.

The very first fighters is available for sale however, for 400 mil. What makes this particular fighter cost so much more? Well, this is the first production model, so this fighter has been painted in an extra cool color scheme, and it has cool decals that make it go faster! Woohoo!"

(OOC: lol.)

(OOC: Just so I can make a proper response, what do you plan to reverse engineer? Everything? Because if that's the case, I can't sell them. Would it be alright with you if I set up certain restrictions as to what can be studied?)

((OC- Essentially just the basic frame and power component feeds. We'd then build more our own with our own specific components meant for our style of warfare. (Ionic Weaponry, Fold Drive Units, Omni-Pods for additional weapons and tactical electronics.)

..we've been doing it for quite awhile now with vessels purchased from other nations, hence the make up of our military.

..I presume the restrictions are on weaponry and other sensitive components, which is fine, since we'd replace them with our own more advanced suites. Just take out what doesn't want to be put in, just want the basic frame in the end.))

(OOC: Bleh, more advanced?! These are as advanced as things are gonna come! :p . ^_^ . Nah, the export variant, as you can probably already guess, is a much dumbed down version of it. Alright then. I don't see a problem with it.)

IC:

Order confirmed. 100 export variants of the SSF-29 are being manufactured, and should be ready within 2 RL days.

We thank you for your compliments and hope to continue to develop top-of-the-line ships and technology with your support for years to come.

(OOC: Bump for exposure. Although I'm sure almost everyone has seen it already.)

I would like to purchase 100 fighters.

Befor we put forward an offer we wish to need to know if its able for us to modify the Fighter to be better used by our forces (basicly strip out the weapons put our own on, remove the FTL drive and add more weapons/Sensors depending on the designs. Change the engines to our own kind and able to be launched from our ships by Drop like Tie Fighters).

IF we are able to do such a thing then we offer this:

We will pay upto 500 Billion for production rights and for a period of time 1/3 of production will be sent to you of the standard class and 1/4 of the modified Class to boost your numbers at a faster rate (you can even sell the modified version back to us if you want). Our production rates are vary high (we have an entire system dedicated to building things and that systems population is over 800 million not includeing milltary defence forces).

We are open for negotations on this matter but hope that it can be done quickly.

Signed,

Grand Admiral Valkyrie
Commander of the the Dark Empire Space Core

is it possible to send me a brochure of all your avalible fighters and other good stuff? (O_o) I think that our miitary would like the new fleet, that is if we buy one. Oh and btw, I will be putting up a thread soon about tanks that are avalible for sale. (^_^) We will be selling the following: Light, Med., and Heavy MBTs and IFVs. I will be selling them individualy but packages will probably be the best deal. For more info, leave me a telegram on N.S. (>_<)

As long as you only wish to remove the systems, and not try to reverse anything or the like, it's perfectly fine.

However, production rights will not be sold. We will allow you to produce a licensed model, with your own modifications however.

We are also most interested as to what your modified version would have to offer.

Sales-bot: Tai/139

I wish to change the amount of ships I purchased. I now will order 1000 of these star fighters.

(OOC: I thought you might. ^_^.)

IC:

Order confirmed. 1,000 Export Variants of the SSF-29 "Draken" have been queued for production and should be ready within 3 RL days.

(OOC: Bump for additional exposure?)

well lets see what we would do to your fighter:

First strip out your engines and replace them with BB9K Ion/Partical Thrust Engines.
Lower the Crew from 3 down to 1 by adding a Standard Fighter AI (most likely more advanced then yours i would take it).
Strip away your armor and add our own but keep the shields.
Strip out the FTL drive dont need them.
Stip away your weapons and replace them with our own.
Add our own HUD system (voice active one).
Make the Wings able to fold up flat apon itself (but reinforce the joint area), make the tail fins fold up this will make for easyer storeage apon our ships.
Get rid of the Micro Psi sensors, the AI does there job.
Get rid of the Stelth Generator and replace it with a layer of our Stealth Armor.

The Other Version we would want to make out of this fighter is a heavy bomber, basicly the weapons load out would be different and we would add our own Targeting system.

We are willing share such fighters with you if you wish.

The only problem would be the fighter would be a tad bit slower but alot heavyer in armor.

ooc: Nice job! Looks like a real player in the FT field. I'll probably order some soon as I get home (a few hrs from now). I think I'll replace my X-wing contingent with these (several hundred to a thousand I think... this'll turn those pickett ships into some heavy hitters lol)

Comments on this though:
-Engines: (This is something I posted somewhere else)

"As for Sub-light, we use inertial engines. They use a micro black hole's rotational energy, and redirect it to propel a ship in a linear path. Advantages? Huge acceleration, (Black hols rotate extremely fast, so sapping even a small amount of that is more than enough to push a ship somewhere.) pretty much no exhaust, (Making stealthing our ships much easier.) virtually no need to refuel, (Black holes are theorized to continue spinning well into the end of the universe, long after the last star has gone out.)

Our weapons can't really be replaced. Because they're explicitly designed to be able to fire anything, and everything from the same barrel, be it energy or projectiles, or missiles. All that's needed is the command to tell it what to fire. But, if you want to replace them with a more limited system, I won't stop you. (If you want me to elaborate more on why this is, I will.)

-Wings/Tail:

I'm not to sure I understood exactly, If I'm mistaken, just ignore this. The two extra smaller wings above and below each larger wing can already fold in flat, but, if you mean fold like a carrier aircrafts wing do today, nevermind then. They can't do that.

Everything else I agree are good changes if you want to make it suit your military better.)

ooc: you're welcome. O_O I only have 472 X-wings... thought I had more. Oh well.

IC:
No Endorse would like to purchase 472 of these Draken starfighters. The total of this order will be 165.2 Billion USD. These craft will replace our aging X-wing squadrons currently in service across the nation.

No Endorse would also be interested in opening trade routes and possibly an alliance/non-agression pact with the Eshirian Sovereignty.

Ah, another day. I wish to purchase another 1000 fighters.

@ No Endorse

(OOC: Lol, no matter. 472 is a respectable number of fighters for an FT nation such as yourself, and 472 of these should increase your military's lethality all across the board. Eh, I just noticed what the bold letters in your previous message were for. Yeah... I feel just a little slow now...)

IC:

Order confirmed for 472 of the SSF-29 "Draken" star fighter (Export Variant).
Order should be completed and ready for delivery within 2 RL days.

Your interest in establishing stable economic and diplomatic relations with the Eshirian Sovereignty have been well received by our Senate, and we shall attempt to contact you soon. (OOC: Basically, I'll start an RP when I have the time.)

Your interest in establishing stable economic and diplomatic relations with the Eshirian Sovereignty have been well received by our Senate, and we shall attempt to contact you soon. (OOC: Basically, I'll start an RP when I have the time.)

ooc: can you TG me when you make it?
IC:
Excellent. I see a good future in relations between our two nations.

(OOC: No problem. Just to start off, I was thinking about something along the same lines as the Diplomacy RP that I'm doing with ND right now.)

(OOC: Nice.

Comments on this though:
-Engines: (This is something I posted somewhere else)

"As for Sub-light, we use inertial engines. They use a micro black hole's rotational energy, and redirect it to propel a ship in a linear path. Advantages? Huge acceleration, (Black hols rotate extremely fast, so sapping even a small amount of that is more than enough to push a ship somewhere.) pretty much no exhaust, (Making stealthing our ships much easier.) virtually no need to refuel, (Black holes are theorized to continue spinning well into the end of the universe, long after the last star has gone out.) Plus, as an added bonus, I can later utilize that same black hole for making quasars, which provide a huge boost."


The Space Core hates the idea of a Blackhole in a fighter, infact they hate the idea of a black hole even inside there ships.


-Crew/AI:

Our AI is advanced as any others out there. The only reason I have three crew members, is because the ARC-170 (SW: Ep. III) That I used for the picture has three cockpits, so I couldn't really ignore them. I guess I can changes that in later models.


Fair does but i would still want to lower the crew from 3 to 1


-Weapons:

Our weapons can't really be replaced. Because they're explicitly designed to be able to fire anything, and everything from the same barrel, be it energy or projectiles, or missiles. All that's needed is the command to tell it what to fire. But, if you want to replace them with a more limited system, I won't stop you. (If you want me to elaborate more on why this is, I will.)


I like my weapons more no offence i like your stuff but my empire has one of them things of not trusting other peoples weapons. even tho we are more then happy to sell our stuff.


-Wings/Tail:

I'm not to sure I understood exactly, If I'm mistaken, just ignore this. The two extra smaller wings above and below each larger wing can already fold in flat, but, if you mean fold like a carrier aircrafts wing do today, nevermind then. They can't do that.

Everything else I agree are good changes if you want to make it suit your military better.)

It would be like a carrifer aircraft does today, but if it can meh forget that bit.

(OOC: On everything you said:
-Fair enough.
-Me too (I will in later models of the thing.
-Thanks! And I understand.
-It can fold up, but not like that. So modifications will be necessary.)

IC:

As before, production rights can not be sold. We will allow you to produce a licensed model with your own modifications however.

Just tell us how many modified versions you're going to make, and provide an estimated production run time for that model. We will then assign a licence accordingly, and everything will be in order.

Well the total number would be in the 100,000s since this brand of fighter is to replace our current fighters in the Space core and the colonial Fleet. And then to be part of the Corporate fleets, so ya sevral 100,000 fighters.

Total Production time, 12-48 months depending on situations that may arise (wars erc).

Liscense for production of 350,000 modified SSF-29's is to be issued immediately for a period of 50 months.

Thank you, and we hope this fighter serves you well.

is there a cost or do we The Dark Empire owe you a massive favor when called apon.

(OOC: Heh, I'm not to sure anymore. They both sound pretty good. ;) . I thought that the amount that you first mentioned would be delivered, but I guess that no longer applies. How about we cut the original amount that you were going to pay in half, and you owe a small favor or two, and that'll be that.)

(OOC: Bump for additonal exposure?)
