Intent: Supply a unique, cyber-security focused software interface for New Imperial Order command and control systems.
Development Thread: New Hardware (work commissioned, specifications provided)
Manufacturer: Corellia Digital
Model: Operating System CRESH (alt. O/S Cresh, or just Cresh)
Affiliation: Private Market
Modularity: Highly, as any computer code is subject to re-programming, madware, or slicing.
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Computer software, installed via card-chip
Description: CRESH is a computer operating system, optimized for military command and control systems. Some ease of use, or usability, is sacrificed for the sake of stronger cyber defense. Multiple pyrowalls coded into the operating system supply a native layer of network security. Critical systems are encoded with quantum computer generated passcodes to protect against slicer intrusion should the network become compromised. Rapid repetition defense protocols scan for open or active ports in order to identify intrusions as early or as quickly as possible. While data transfers make use of the Forb basic language, protocol droids have described the computer system as having "a most peculiar accent." This statement sums up CRESH's greatest strength and its most notable weakness. As a proprietary software application, slicers may be frustrated by the lack of familiarity with its handling protocols or the underlying software codes, its vulnerabilities, or possible exploits. However, that same level of obscurity means that all commercially produced peripherals, such as targeting computers, droids, or any interfacing system has to be calibrated and adjusted in order to be made CRESH compatible.
In short, this is not 'plug and play' and some computer peripheral or droids, particularly older models, may not be able to function as CRESH compatible at all. This is due to CRESH's hardware requirements of modern processing power, memory allocation demands, and file structure.
As an additional safety measure, a non-network accessible BIOS card-chip can restore the operating system kernel on boot if it detects any changes to the core system or structure of the mainframe.
CRESH includes a limited warranty from Corellia Digital for maintenance and updates of software patches, hot-fixes, and notice of security vulnerabilities as they are identified.
