- Hyper-easy to Navigate: Various technologies make the Heimdallr a step-up from other common hyperdrive systems, but none is more unique and extraordinary than the combined ability to allow the Heimdallr to actively chart and navigate through swathes of hyperspace that are not commonly flown. This allows the Heimdallr to navigate through extraordinarily complicated and dangerous obstacles, such as star clusters or gas clouds, that otherwise would force a ship to astrogate in real space. This also allows ships with the Heimdallr to efficiently chart new routes through hyperspace.
- Ring Ring: The Heimdallr is essentially a massive ring that, because of physical constraints, must be at least five times the original height of the ship it is installed on. This means that much of a starship's systems must be devoted to maintaining the Heimdallr and its massive size, and any sort of engagement could risk the Heimdallr being damaged.
Although perhaps not the flashiest or most well-known of Roble Manufacturing's various creations, the RMR-EV28 Heimdallr Ringdrive is perhaps one of the most complicated and sophisticated technologies that Roble Manufacturing has produced. Based on their flagship hyperdrive model, the Meili, the Heimdallr is designed to be a much more sophisticated hyperdrive for a more specific use -- exploration and scientific discovery. In that sense, the Heimdallr is exponentially larger and more powerful than the general-use Meili, but unlike the Meili, the Heimdallr is an externally-fixed hyperdrive. The device is installed in a ring-like chassis fitted to the externally of the ship, leading to it being deemed a 'Ringdrive.' The large size allows for a larger accelerator and hyperdrive motivator, as well as the large stock of advanced sensors and subsystems that are included in the ringdrive.
One of the main practical functions of the Heimdallr is space exploration. Many different areas of realspace are left inaccessible, or almost completely inaccessible, by the complications of reaching them via hyperspace. Star clusters or gas clouds that take light-years to cross in real space, and similarly are deemed too hazardous for standard nav computers to cross it in hyperspace. However, the Heimdallr eliminates that problem with Hyperwave Signal Interceptors and Spatial Flux Dilation Spectrometers actively scans ahead through realspace and hyperspace for mass-shadows that would indicate hazards and similarity search for areas that can safely be navigated through. At the same time, a Long-Range Tachyon Detection Scanner helps chart the overall route that a ship is undertaking. Essentially, the LRTDS scans and creates a proposed route, while the HSI and SFDS act as safeguards and fine-tune the original route taken to ensure that a ship is not destroyed in the process.
The second main function of the Heimdallr is to use the aforementioned technologies along with an S-Thread Booster to actively chart and forge new paths through hyperspace that can be used routinely by other ships. Technology that was used before the four-hundred-year darkness, the S-Thread Booster allows the Heimdallr to effectively force-open 'holes' in hyperspace to create permanently stabilized routes, akin to the safety and consistency of major routes like the Corellian Run and Hydian Way. All in all, the Heimdallr is a major breakthrough technology that will no doubt advance scientific study and space exploration in the years to come.
