- Chiss manufactured sensor and scanning systems, which retain typical properties and technical strengths of the individual components included in the suite.
- Using a combination of redundant, non-conductive armorplast and rubber layering, as well as pyronium-insulation on circuitry, the sensor suite is protected from EMP disruption by a Faraday cage-like encasing.
- Suite boasts a mild superfluous efficiency and technological improvement, by being engineered specifically by Chiss for Chiss military vessel precision standards.
- Can be damaged by military-grade weapons if not protected adequately.
- Requires replacement if components damaged or destroyed.
- Offers little more than continued sensor data, if vessel it's installed on is disabled or unable to remain in combat.
- Ineffective against cloaked vessels.
- Able to be affected by sensor disruption coatings and technology.
- Requires integration into Chiss-specific vessel systems, unable to be used on other ship designs.
The CS-Overseer Sensor Suite brings together a number of standard sensor and scanning components, manufactured by Chiss technicians, and placed within an EMP shielded encasing. By applying several protective layers of ceramic-based armorplast and rubber, the manufacturers were able to create a non-conductive Faraday cage for the suite. And by using pyronium-insulated circuitry, the techs were able to dissipate electromagnetic bursts before they reached the sensor suites systems.
This protection acts as a method of retaining sensor data, should the vessel it's part of become disabled or unable to continue in battle.
Overall, the only addition to typical sensors is the inclusion of the Chiss Light Detection and Ranging System, which operates under similar methods to the components of the CS-Seeker Tracking/Targeting System, also manufactured by the Chiss. The only difference being it's primarily used for ranging purposes, to better correlate sensor data and accuracy of the Overseer Sensor Suite. This is achieved by internal sensors that measure distance to a target by illuminating that target with pulsed laser light, before using the reflected pulses as a means of measuring distance.
All in all, standard military-grade systems bundled into a Chiss manufactured suite for use with Chiss military vessels, which offers ease of ship technical listing information.
