TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
STANDARD FEATURES
  • Commonwealth Standard Avionics Suite (Utility Configuration): Integrated flight control, navigation, and systems management optimized for precision maneuvering, station-keeping, and hull-adjacent operations in interference-heavy combat environments.
  • Reinforced Structural Frame & Hull Interface Hardpoints: Strengthened durasteel frame and reinforced mounting points designed to tolerate repeated attachment cycles, mechanical stress from external manipulators, and proximity to active capital-ship systems.
  • Advanced Environmental Sealing & Pressure Management: Reinforced compartment sealing, adaptive pressure regulation, and internal isolation zones allowing the craft to operate in vacuum, radiation-heavy regions, debris fields, and near exposed hull breaches.
  • Automated Post-Operation Decontamination Systems: External hull purge routines, intake scrubbers, and tool-head cleansing protocols prevent radiation, particulate debris, or hazardous residue from being transferred back to the parent vessel.
  • Redundant Flight & Station-Keeping Control Pathways: Multiple independent control routes ensure continued maneuvering and stabilization during partial avionics degradation or while physically attached to a host hull.
  • Radiation, EM, and Debris Hardening (Commonwealth Spec): Shielded cabling, insulated power routing, and hardened electronics maintain functionality near damaged reactors, exposed shield emitters, or during heavy electronic warfare.
  • Modular Utility & Fabrication Mounts: Internal bays and external mounting points designed for toolheads, fabrication modules, cutting arrays, sealant injectors, and structural reinforcement pallets.
  • Emergency Autonomy & Safe-Detach Mode: Limited autonomous routines capable of disengaging from a host hull, stabilizing the craft, and returning to a pre-designated recovery point if the crew is incapacitated or conditions become unsafe.
  • High-Bandwidth Engineering Data Handling: Data buffering, compression, and relay systems optimized for continuous transmission of structural diagnostics, repair telemetry, and drone coordination data to the parent vessel.
  • Capital-Ship Docking & Recovery Interfaces: Reinforced docking collar, guidance beacons, and recovery alignment systems designed for safe retrieval by large capital ships under combat or emergency conditions.
  • Commonwealth Safety & Redundancy Standards: Fire suppression systems, emergency lighting, compartmental isolation, radiation shelters, and survival provisions consistent with Commonwealth naval auxiliary craft doctrine.
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
  • Power & Propulsion Systems:
  • Engineering & Repair Systems
    • Hull Attachment & Synchronization System: A combination of magnetic clamps, electro-gravitic anchoring nodes, and micro-thruster stabilization allows the Remora to physically attach to capital-scale hulls. Once attached, the system synchronizes movement, thrust vectors, and vibration profiles with the host vessel, enabling safe repair operations while the ship remains under power.
    • Capital Repair Coordination Node: A dedicated command-and-control suite that allows the Remora’s mission lead to direct, prioritize, and coordinate external repair drone squadrons deployed from the parent vessel. The Remora functions as a forward control hub, translating strategic repair priorities into localized tasking at the damage site.
    • External Damage Assessment & Mapping Suite: High-resolution structural scanners, stress-mapping sensors, and thermal analyzers provide real-time assessment of hull damage, power bleed, and structural instability. This data is fed directly to both the Remora crew and the host ship’s engineering teams.
    • Commonwealth Compact Molecular Furnace (CCMF): Shuttle-scale fabrication system capable of producing structural patches, reinforcement braces, conduit housings, and sealant composites using onboard feedstock. Fabrication is pattern-limited, burst-operated, and governed by safety interlocks to prevent misuse or overload.
    • Heavy Articulated Manipulator Arms: Externally mounted, multi-axis manipulator arms designed for capital-hull-scale tasks, including positioning reinforcement plates, holding components in place during drone operations, and assisting with removal of damaged structures.
    • Fabrication Load Governors & Safety Interlocks: Software and hardware safeguards that regulate fabrication output, prevent uncontrolled material synthesis, and isolate fabrication systems from flight-critical power pathways.
    • Radiation, Debris, & EM Hardening Package: Reinforced shielding and insulation allowing the Remora to operate near damaged hulls, exposed reactors, active shield emitters, and within debris fields generated during combat.
    • Drone Uplink & Relay Interface: High-bandwidth, hardened communications suite enabling the Remora to act as a local relay and control node for repair drones operating beyond direct line-of-sight of the parent ship.
    • Emergency Detachment & Abort System: Automated rapid-release protocols allow the Remora to disengage instantly if the host vessel performs evasive maneuvers, activates high-energy systems, or suffers catastrophic structural failure.
  • Internal Defense Management
    • Emergency bulkheads and compartment isolation
    • Biometric access controls
    • Limited lockdown routing for crew safety
    • Automated post-mission decontamination protocols prior to hangar reintegration
  • Communications
  • Countermeasures
  • Sensor & Data Systems
    • Helion Data Core Matrix (Shuttle Variant): Centralized data fusion and processing backbone integrating structural diagnostics, environmental hazard data, drone telemetry, and repair task prioritization in real time.
    • Neuracrys Gel Interface (Shuttle Variant): Semi-organic computational layer enhancing pattern recognition, predictive failure modeling, and adaptive response during complex repair operations.
    • Resonance Lattice Chip (Shuttle Variant): Multispectral signal harmonization and interference mitigation, maintaining sensor and system stability near active shields, reactors, and fabrication systems.
    • TCSX Strikeveil Sensor Suite (Shuttle Variant): Radiation, electromagnetic, thermal, and particulate hazard detection optimized for operations near damaged hull sections and exposed ship systems.
    • SCX Navicor Sensor Suite (Shuttle Variant): Precision navigation, hull-relative positioning, and docking guidance for station-keeping and attachment-based operations.
    • Bluford Sensor Suite (Trimmed):
      • Passive & Short-Range Sensor Arrays (Shuttle Variant)
      • Rangefinding, Light Detection & Proximity Tracking
      • Basic Hazard & Obstruction Identification
    • Savić Tracking Sensor Suite
STRENGTHS
  • Capital-hull stabilization specialist: Designed to attach directly to large vessels and remain synchronized with their motion, enabling repair work at speed and under maneuver.
  • High-output field fabrication (bounded): The Compact Molecular Furnace allows rapid production of reinforcement plates, patches, braces, conduit housings, and repair tools using onboard feedstock and pattern governors.
  • Exceptional repair coordination: Acts as a forward drone-control and relay node, translating ship-level priorities into localized tasking for Sondheimer-deployed repair drone squadrons.
  • Survivable in the worst places: Hardened against debris, radiation, EM interference, and proximity hazards common near damaged hull sections and exposed systems.
  • Redundant power architecture: Dual Kestrel cores and load-smoothing buffers prevent fabrication surges from destabilizing flight-critical systems, supporting sustained “worksite” operations.
WEAKNESSES
  • Not a combat craft: Very limited armament and only average defenses; relies on fleet protection and positioning rather than fighting capacity.
  • Feedstock-limited repairs: Fabrication capability is restricted by onboard material stores and cooldown cycles; prolonged or repeated repairs rapidly deplete reserves.
  • Cannot replace dockyard repairs: The Remora excels at stabilization and function-restoration, not reconstruction—catastrophic structural failure and major hull breaches remain beyond its scope.
  • Poor independent endurance: Designed to operate as part of a capital ship’s support ecosystem; extended solo deployment reduces effectiveness and increases risk.
  • Attachment creates exposure: While clamped to a hull the Remora’s maneuver options are constrained, making it vulnerable if the host vessel is forced into extreme evasive action.
DESCRIPTION
The Remora-class Utility Shuttle was developed to solve a problem that grows more severe as ships become larger and engagements more sustained: once a capital vessel is committed—especially an interdictor platform—it cannot always disengage to receive help, and smaller support craft often cannot keep pace or survive long enough to matter. Fielded as part of the Sondheimer-class Interdictor Destroyer’s auxiliary ecosystem, the Remora provides a mobile external stabilization platform—a craft that can reach a damage site quickly, clamp to the hull, and begin buying time.

True to its name, the Remora’s defining feature is its hull attachment and synchronization system. Using magnetic clamps, electro-gravitic anchoring nodes, and precision station-keeping control, the shuttle latches onto capital-scale plating and matches the host vessel’s motion rather than fighting it. Once attached, the Remora becomes a temporary external worksite: its crew performs rapid assessments using structural stress mapping and thermal diagnostics, then coordinates repairs through a dedicated Capital Repair Coordination Node. Importantly, the Remora does not carry drone squadrons—instead, it serves as the forward command and relay hub for the Sondheimer’s embarked repair drone units, directing them with localized tasking, real-time telemetry, and high-bandwidth uplink control at the point of damage.

At the heart of the Remora’s repair capability is the Commonwealth Compact Molecular Furnace (CCMF)—a shuttle-scale fabrication system derived from established molecular furnace concepts but bounded by strict safety governors. The CCMF is feedstock-driven and pattern-limited, optimized for rapid fabrication of reinforcement plates, hull patches, braces, conduit housings, sealant composites, and mission-specific tools. This is not a replicator and not a drydock substitute: the Remora’s fabrication capacity is intentionally constrained by onboard material reserves, thermal management limits, and cooldown cycles. In practice, it is designed to restore functionality, stop cascading failures, and stabilize damage long enough for a ship to remain in the fight or withdraw safely.

Operationally, the Remora excels during high-risk moments: reinforcing compromised external conduits, stabilizing shield emitter housings, shoring up damaged hull sections, clearing debris from thruster assemblies, and keeping exposed systems from becoming catastrophic liabilities. Its dual-reactor power architecture and load-smoothing systems isolate fabrication surges from flight-critical controls, allowing the craft to work continuously without browning out navigation or station-keeping. The Remora’s survivability is tuned for its environment—radiation, debris, and EM interference—rather than sustained weapons fire, and its doctrine assumes escort protection.
