[SIZE=11pt]Interdictor detection: By combining the standard Mass Sensor with an onboard navicomputer, the Advanced Mass Sensor (AMS) can roughly differentiate an interdiction field from the signature of a normal celestial body. The principle behind this technology is simple: A Mass Sensor detects the large mass shadows in the nearby system, the onboard navicomputer then compares these to what the predicted mass should be for the celestial bodies in that system. If it finds an anomaly, such as a large mass shadow in what should be empty space, then it flags it as a possible interdiction field.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt][[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]+[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]] Detective: Can, with limited accuracy, predict the presence and approximate location of interdictor cruisers in a single star system.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=11pt][[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]] Inaccurate: The average accuracy of the Advanced Mass Sensor is around 30%, though this can be larger or smaller proportional to the size of the ship.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=11pt][[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]] Limited Range: The sensor only functions within practical range of the system it is scanning. As such, the sensor can only be activated a few minutes prior to arrival, and can only scan a single system at a time.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=11pt][[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]-[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]] Mapped Territory: The Advanced Mass Sensor only functions as designed in system where every large celestial object has been mapped precisely into the navicomputer. For example, the technology would be unreliable in the unexplored systems of the Unknown Regions.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Following the end of the FO-GA conflict, the First Order Security Bureau found itself undergoing a rapid change. Moff Dante Calgar saw the need to turn the Security Bureau into a more aggressive, more active organisation, leading to the rise of high-risk intelligence missions and joint-operations between the FOSB, and the First Order’s military branches. With this rising need for Bureau Operatives in the battlefields of the galaxy, the Special Projects wing of the Bureau set to work on designing a series of technological additions to give the agents of the FOSB a critical edge of their opponents. The Advanced Mass Sensor was designed using existing technology for naval warfare. The sensor was designed to be easily added to starships, and assist the FOSB stealth corvettes in locating the position of enemy interdictor fields, so that the First Order’s ships could safely bypass them using HIMS technology. This was the first in a series of technological developments in a new bid for First Order dominance, codenamed Project Nebula.[/SIZE]
