Manufacturer: TaggeCo
Type: Quantum
Market Status: Closed Market
Production: Minor
Weight: Heavy
Size: Very Small


SPECIAL FEATURES
  • The Lens: Apophis uses a safely contained micro-singularity to compress complex prediction and sensor-fusion problems into tractable decision manifolds. This Lens produces ranked engagement options far faster than conventional processors while remaining hybrid with verification layers.
  • Micro-Singularity Core: Each node is powered by a stabilized artificial black hole, maintained through continuous energy injection and quantum confinement networks. This provides near-limitless compute density but requires redundant damping systems to prevent collapse or runaway growth.
  • Distributed Consensus Mesh: Each core performs local high-confidence fusion while participating in a peer network. This mesh ensures redundancy, regional failover, and multi-core agreement before any action is executed.
  • Human-in-the-Loop: No action occurs without human or independent automated countersignatures. Every decision packet includes explainable rationales, uncertainty estimates, and collateral risk projections to guarantee accountability.
  • Sensor Fusion Across Domains: Integrates optical, radio, lidar, gravimetric, spectral, logistics, and probabilistic human intelligence feeds. It produces ranked, actionable outputs rather than raw track clouds, giving commanders clear choices.
  • Interoperability: Allows third-party sensors and weapons to join the network under authenticated, auditable protocols. Tiered access supports restricted cooperative or full sovereign modes while preserving data sovereignty and rules of engagement.
  • Operational Choreography: Coordinates heterogeneous assets such as interceptors, missiles, drones, EW systems, and logistics across time and space. Apophis optimizes salvo timing, decoy patterns, and deconfliction windows to maximize efficiency while minimizing collateral damage.
  • Marketplace Modularity: Modular design enables third-party provision of sensors, interceptors, and verification services. Certification and governance rules maintain accountability while accelerating technology adoption.
STRENGTHS
  • [+] SPEED AND INTEGRATION:
    • Apophis can ingest and fuse thousands of sensor feeds from across multiple domains, evaluate competing threat hypotheses, and choreograph a wide variety of defensive assets in seconds. This allows it to make split-second decisions and optimize resource allocation far faster than any conventional or human-led system.
  • [+] ACCOUNTABLE AUTOMATION:
    • Its multi-signature governance, human-in-the-loop oversight, and explainable decision packets ensure that every action is auditable and legally defensible. Commanders receive ranked options with probabilistic payoffs, enabling informed choices while maintaining transparency and operational accountability.
WEAKNESSES
  • [-] INPUT VULNERABILITY:
    • Because Apophis relies on the accuracy and integrity of its sensor inputs, adversaries could attempt to corrupt the data through spoofing, jamming, or supply-chain compromise. Even sophisticated fusion and verification processes may be misled if multiple feeds are tampered with simultaneously.
  • [-] PHYSICAL DEPENDANCE:
    • Despite distributed cores and redundancy, Apophis remains vulnerable to direct physical attacks, orbital denial, or widespread communication disruptions. In such cases, the system may be forced into conservative, slower fallback modes, reducing its effectiveness and reaction speed.
DESCRIPTION

Apophis isn't a single weapon so much as it is a way of making better decisions faster. Modern war moves at machine speed, and there's often too much information, too many sensors, and not enough time to react. Apophis solves this problem by acting as a kind of "lens", a system that takes in messy, incomplete data from every source available, compares different possibilities of what the enemy might be doing, and then suggests the best course of action. The key isn't perfection. It's timing: making good choices faster than the enemy can act on uncertainty.

At the heart of Apophis is something unlike a normal computer. Engineers built a tiny, artificial black hole and locked it inside a reinforced chamber. It doesn't swallow everything around it. Instead, it's carefully stabilized with constant energy and layers of shielding. This strange engine gives Apophis the raw processing speed to cut through problems that would normally overwhelm ordinary systems.

In practice, Apophis doesn't fire weapons or fly ships on its own. Instead, it produces clear decision packets with time-stamped recommendations that show ranked options, risks, and likely outcomes. Those packets then go to human commanders or trusted safety systems for approval. Every choice Apophis suggests is double-checked by more conventional computers, and nothing moves forward without countersignatures.

Apophis is installed in secure bunkers, fortified orbital stations, and hardened planetary vaults. Each core manages its own region but is also part of a larger mesh, sharing data and coordinating decisions across the whole defense network. Its greatest strength is choreography. In a crowded battlespace where warships, drones, missiles, and civilian traffic are all moving at once, Apophis can time strikes, sequence maneuvers, and deploy decoys so that everything flows together like an orchestra playing in sync.

Safety and accountability remain at the center of its design. The black hole module is sealed off, its outputs are audited, and every decision requires human sign-off at the appropriate level. Defensive actions are streamlined for speed, but offensive or high-risk strikes demand extra approvals and reviews. Independent oversight boards ensure the system remains a tool, not a master.

Apophis is also more than just a single product. TaggeCo builds and maintains the cores, but outside companies can supply sensors, interceptors, or verification services, all of which plug into the system. That makes Apophis not just a shield, but a marketplace for defense tools that thrive on interoperability while demanding strict rules to prevent abuse.

Very cool! I just have one question. I don't see in the device what creates the micro black holes for it to work. If you mention this technology, then surely you know that the black holes evaporate and the micro black holes cease to exist after a few seconds because they have evaporated. I see no explanation here as to how the machine implements it so that this does not happen. Please add this to the sub, because at the moment this whole machine only works once for a few seconds.

Thank you! Sorry for the delayed reply, we were talking about the sub and it occurred to me that this form of the sub is certainly not understandable to everyone. Please reword the sub so that it is understandable to everyone, please more common English instead of the techno bla-bla.
