Engineering Proposal

Lt j.g. Lazarus Montague

NX-05 Challenger

=====================

 

Recognising that the previous attempts to institue a comprehensive system of shielding over the NX-05 have resulted in total failure of the already strained power system resulting from a severely damaged system of power cells and the nearly shattered SIF system, coupled with the activation of the Emergency Hull Plating subsystems. This new proposal will set out to solve the problems caused by the initiation of the Shield Projection System (afterwards known as a “Shield”)

 

The primary failure resulted from the depletion of existing power sources and the failure of the Impulse Fusion Generation Nodes.

 

The solution proposed will require the cannibalization of a system of power conduits capable of drawing 1.3x10^7 milliliters of type-17 plasma from the busasard synthesized stores. As outlined in a previous techn ical report, this plasma can be channeled without the need for extra magnetic conduits.

 

This new specification for conduits can only be fulfilled in one section of the ship. A section that currently contains full duplex conduits, and a Device. The initialization of the Shield will disable the device temporarily, pending the reset of certain hardware components within the Device.

 

The Device will act as a conduit for the plasma and can be converted to this purpose instantly as the safety systems within the mechanism will reconfigure the Device to output the plasma and contain it within the ellipsoid that normally governs the field emitted by it.

 

The new Shield will allow the Challenger to withstand 1.546 x 10^16 Watts of disruptor or phase cannon fire, allowing for Challenger to sustain numerous hits before starting to lose system function although the regeneration of the field will require some time.

 

This proposal requests immediate permission to begin configuration and simulation of the system in action. Simulation will be conducted extensively prior to the first activation. See the Equations for the shield geometry calculations Here.
