ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Nightshadow Coating
- Sensor Jamming Device
- Stygium Cloaking Device
- The Ch'iszacosibi boasts a stygium cloaking device to provide maximum possibility of escape for Ozyly-esehembo passengers.
- A combination of nightshadow coating and strong sensor jamming further assist with escape and evasion.
- Each lifeboat is designed to eject from any vessel it is housed within, to protect the valuable occupant/s, and maintains its own power supply and ionic protections for this purpose (in case of capture attempts of the larger vessel).
- Designed for escape, this is not a combat vessel, and has a bare minimum armament for simple defense.
- Stygium cloaking device isn't infallible, with some enemy vessels utilizing methods of locating vessel through its effects.
- The Chiss Hyperdrive navicomputer systems are susceptible to interdiction effects.
- Small size results in limited armor, requiring reliance on shielding and cloaking methods as main forms of defense.
- Very specialized vessel with little-to-no combat capacity once launched.
- Rear-mounted conner net tube purely for defense against pursuit, cannot be aimed manually in different headings.
The Ch'iszacosibi Lifeboat is a very uncommon sight within the Chiss Ascendancy, used within the CEDF typically on flagships and command vessels, and primarily serves as an enhanced navigation operations center. The main purpose of this vessel is to serve as a navigation hub for the Ozyly-esehembo, who use the systems it provides to navigate fleets through space using Force Precognition. The second purpose of this vessel is to thoroughly protect the Ozyly-esehembo, who are mostly children, allowing for maximum potential of escape from battle should the carrying vessel be destroyed or disabled.
Each command vessel of 1000m or more within the CEDF is capable of housing the Ch'iszacosibi Lifeboats in a secret mooring location near the command bridge. This location has not been made available to public blueprints or plans, and thus remains a closely guarded secret to all but the highest CEDF officers. Additionally, should the command vessel suffer fatal damage or fall under capture, the lifeboat housing is designed to eject the Ozyly-esehembo at maximum thrust away from danger, using its own protected power source. The armored bay doors protecting the mooring points are expertly crafted to not reveal their location, with even the most intrusive sensor scans only showing structural space where the lifeboat is located.
Equipped with a variety of evasive devices, including a stygium cloaking device and nightshadow coating, the Chiss Ascendancy has spared no expense protecting the rare Force children. The Ozyly-esehembo Hub allows for advanced control of other fleet vessels, via interfacing through calibration systems on each Chiss vessel, and cannot be operated by anyone but registered Ozyly-esehembo members. Should tampering occur (infiltration, slicing, hijacking, etc), and unauthorized individuals try to control the hub without going through the highly secret and multi-phase control approval methods, the hub will lockdown and not function until those methods are completed by the assigned Ozyly-esehembo member.
When carried within a flagship or command vessel, the Ch'iszacosibi Lifeboat allows rapid entry and exit, so should a commander want to speak face-to-face, the Ozyly-esehembo can board - and retreat from - the bridge very quickly. Should the unfortunate happen, and the Ozyly-esehembo vessel is forced to eject, it will immediately be piloted away from the battlefield while activating every defensive measure and top speed, before the Ozyly-esehembo navigates back to Csilla at full hyperspeed.
All in all, a highly defensive vessel, used by specific individuals, to assist with enhanced CEDF fleet hyperspace navigation; though it lacks attack power, it makes up for it with speed and sensor/enemy evasion methods.
Update log:
- Removed hard numbers for hyperdrive speeds (x1.25 and x15)
- Corrected weakness of interdiction effects to navicomputer systems, not physical hyperdrive itself
