RM-3X Mahashakti.ESS - n00bl3t - 05-20-2008
Biographical Information: RM-3X Mahashakti.ESS
The RM-3X Mahashakti.ESS is completely unique in it's design. A destroyer class vessel that was completely designed from scratch for an entirely robotic crew and an automated firing system, the destroyer could almost be called living. It's commission in 812 AS from Don Alicia Wenceslau resulted in extraordinary new design techniques being created, due to political frictions with Corsica's Base Commander, as whilst Malta has the knowledge and resources to build capital ships the problem of launching it into space has always existed, stopping the ships being built on Malta. Built in space, with parts and work taking place in the mooring fixture for Planet Malta, the RM-3X was the first of it's kind. Not being merely a long-range Capital Ship Destroyer, but a craft that could hold and defend hostile positions from any possible threat that may have arisen. It's primary purpose was to serve as an offensive-defence craft for the ESS, able to punch through enemy defenses and then sit tight and hold the position, however after it sustained considerate damage in it's third campaign against Kusari's Naval Forces it was moored to Planet Malta receiving repairs. After the repairs and upgrades, the Mahashakti has been testing the new systems that have been installed in the Tau 37 system..
The paranoia-based lack of trust that the Vice-Admiral possesses led him to choose an entirely robotic crew, all of whose programming was personally done by Taveras himself. He is known to trust these robots completely for the aforementioned reason. BT2-S359 controls all aspects of piloting and maintaining the craft when the Captain is not on board and continues to do so for the main part when the Captain is on the ship.
The operation of all the Secondary Turrets and the missile turrets on the Little Maha are handled by automated UT9-AV76 bots and their ET3-5 counterparts. However, the Pulse Cannon and the Light Mortar is operated independently by the ship's inbuilt AI, the DLE-Q1. ET3-5 class bots also operate the Cruise Disruptor and Countermeasure functions on the ship.
The RM-3 hosts sleeping facilities for twelve; with the most opulent quarters belonging to the Vice-Admiral of the ESS. A communications transmission and interception room exists on board along with a hangar bay, which contains the ships, tanks and the Automated 38, Taveras' personal guards. An Armory with equipment which would be considered defunct by today's standards also exists.
Crew: RM-3 Mahashakti.ESS
Vice-Admiral Rafael Taveras:
Simulated Fleet Admiral of the Elite Shadow Society. Third Fleet Admiral to installed into the position after the first Fleet Admiral vanished whilst traveling through unknown-space, and the second that was be appointed to the prestigious position disappeared from Outcast Space along with the entire 137th Battlegroup.
UT9-AV76:
Autonomous AI bots designed by the SIS' Special Research Division for Primary Turret operation. These turrets were given by the SIS in exchange for support against the Kusari in the war between Bretonia and Kusari. Highly advanced from their predecessor, the UT9's, the UT9-AV76 is designed almost identically; to process and analyze engine signatures to differentiate friend from foe, and fire appropriately. However, their mistaken foe rate has been significantly decreased by ESS engineers. Unknown engine signatures are deferred to BT2-S359 for identification.
BT2-S359:
Personality programmed. Formerly decommissioned Humanoid Artificial Intelligence robot that belonged to an executive in Bretonia Mining and Metals. Commanding officer of the Little Maha when Taveras is not on board, however piloting and flight decisions are usually left to this robot as the Vice Admiral prefers to be in the aft Command Centre.
ET3-5:
Autonomous AI bots designed by ESS engineers, based on the SIS' UT9-DR models. Several of these autonomous bots facilitate minor, repetitive tasks aboard the Mahashakti. Designed to replace human engineers and assist the UT9-AV76 bots in turret operation.
DLE-Q1:
The inbuilt artificial intelligence of the Little Maha.
