PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Alge Imperial Shipyards Incorporated
• Affiliation: Alge Imperial Shipyards Incorporated
• Market Status: Open-Market
• Model: AISI Mass Smoke Generator (AISI MSG)
• Modularity: No
• Production: Mass-Produced
• Material: Durasteel frame and coolant tubes, aluminium vent and heated fuel container

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Heated Fuel Container: A large, rectangular container at the center of the Mass Smoke Generator stores oil or low-grade ship fuel that is boiled with an interior heating system powered by an outside source such as a ship’s reactor.
• Pressurized Cooling Tubes: Two pressurized cooling tubes connect the fuel container to a ship’s ventilation system to allow cool air to enter the container and condense the evaporated fuel into fog.
• Smoke Vent: Fog exits the Mass Smoke Generator through the smoke vent, a large tube with a hatch separating the generator’s interior from the outside.

STRENGTHS

• Smokescreen: The AISI Mass Smoke Generator specializes in creating large clouds of smoke, obscuring warships from the view of most species as long as they remain within the smokescreen.

WEAKNESSES

• Gone With the Wind: The smoke generated by the Mass Smoke Generator can easily be dispersed by strong wind or even sonic attacks.
• Double-Blind: While it is difficult for most beings to see a ship concealed by smoke from the Mass Smoke Generator, it is also difficult for beings in the ship producing the smoke to see ships on the other side of the smoke screen.

DESCRIPTION

Alge Imperial’s Mass Smoke Generator provides a cheap diversion for captains wishing to obscure their ships from view.​

The AISI Mass Smoke Generator creates a smokescreen by first heating an internal container of oil or low-grade ship fuel to its boiling point. After internal sensors detect that the fuel has evaporated, several small tubes extending into the fuel compartment are opened, allowing streams of pressurized, cool air from brought from deeper within the ship to condense the evaporated fuel into a thick white fog. As the fog forms, the hatch separating the smoke tube from the outside is opened, releasing a steady stream of fog from the Mass Smoke Generator.

The Mass Smoke Generator is highly scalable, with its smallest models producing modest smokescreens for corvettes while its largest derivatives can be equipped on Super Star Destroyers and produce kilometers of smoke at a time.
