Intent: A highly advanced navicomputer cabable of traversing dangerous areas
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Mystic Tekk
Model: MT-T411
Affiliation: Select customers
Modularity: No
Production: Limited
Material: Gree computer parts
Strengths:
- Allows ship to traverse high-turbulence and dangerous areas other ships cannot
Weaknesses:
- Decently bulk compared to other computers
- Can only be piloted by someone with extremely augmented reactions (or someone with 6 arms)
Description:
The Gree were once one of the most advanced races the galaxy has ever witnessed. They predated the Rakatan Infinite Empire by milennia. Their technology was some of the most advanced in history. This navicomputer is a small slice of that technology brought into the modern world.
During the Galactic Cold War, Sith forces had discovered the Gree navicomputer and had stored the blueprints in their archives. Republic spies discovered this, performing a risky mission to recover these precious documents and bring them to one of their secret research facilities in Wild Space. These blueprints sat idle for generations, until they were discovered by a team of Marines led by Captain Nexub during a totally unrelated operation.
The Marines would give the schematics to Lord Ajihad, who was looking to install advanced navigation computers in his own ship. His team of scientists were able to reconstruct the computer after careful studying of the blueprints, but there was one outstanding problem. You needed six arms to use it.
After many unsuccessful attempts at fixing this, the team managed to come up with a remedy. Not wanting to mess with the current system, they developed an overlapping layer that would allow someone with two arms to control the six-arm system. However, this itself has a disadvantage. In order to operate this, someone must have extremely quick reactions and thinking speed. Like, beyond the realm of any normal creature. Speeds at this level could be accomplished over short periods of time by someone channeling copious amounts of the force. Also, droids with fast enough processors would be able to work quickly enough to pilot a ship using this system. This itself is a major inconvenience, not to mention that the extra layer makes the computer a bit bulkier than what most are used to.
