- Inhibitor Station: The Ourea is able to carry out two main functions; it creates a 'tunnel' in hyperspace that guides ships along a manual route and can create a critalizer field to slow ships down in order to revert them into hyperspace, essentially streamlining the entire process of hyperspace travel.
- Self-Reliant: For the most part, the Ourea is a self-reliant station; it runs on a perpetually-generating RMC-114 Magnetic Energy Generator, and when that fails can fall back on a hypermatter annihilator reactor for energy generation. It also does not require any organic crew to run the station, severely cutting down on the manpower necessary to maintain a network of stations.
- Many Needed: To create a functioning hyperspace tunnel, many Ourea stations are required; seventy at the minimum are required to traverse a distance as short as Coruscant to Alderaan, and even more stations are needed to travel the much longer distances than most well-used hyperlanes run.
- Central Hub: An individual Ourea station may be self-sufficient to a certain extent, but a central control hub is still required to monitor any hyperlane or tunnel created by a network of Ourea stations.
- Replenishment: All resources are finite, and like any technology, the Ourea stations eventually require replenishment of fuel, material, and maintenance to make sure the station is running at peak efficiency.
The RMST-HSY6 Ourea Hyperspace Inhibitor Station is Roble Manufacturing's first-ever deep-space hyperlane management station to be produced by the Fondor-based intergalactic company. The Ourea is built to revolutionize hyperlane travel and security through an unprecedented new technology; the inhibitor projector. Designed to create a tunnel through hyperspace through which ships can travel, the Ourea is the next generation of galactic security and travel.
The Ourea, like its 'cousin,' the S-Thread booster, utilizes twelve RMR-H20 Nephthys Inhibitor Projectors to create a tunnel through hyperspace that allows for fast, efficient corridors between worlds or through lanes. The tunnel guides ships through hyperspace, and is designed to not allow ships traveling along it to exit at any random time (although this is theoretical and the strength of the tunnel depends on the density of projectors along the route), and instead utilizes a critalizer field generator to attempt to force ships to slow to a sunlight impulse speed and revert to hyperspace along a specific vector.
The Ourea is the station on which those inhibitor projectors are mounted and utilized throughout the galaxy. The presence of twelve inhibitor projectors on a single station allows for a somewhat reasonable spacing between stations along a route; for example, the theoretic minimum number of stations required to maintain a tunnel directly between the Alderaan system and Coruscant system (approximately 8921.936 light-years in distance) would be around seventy stations in total. It is to be noted that this is an estimation of the minimum-required stations to maintain a tunnel -- exponentially more stations would be required to maintain a tunnel in which a ship would be unable to nominally revert to hyperspace. The Ourea is also able to direct traffic and sense the type of traffic flowing through the hyperspace tunnel created by the station.
While the station is built to be able to host a maintenance crew, the Ourea is built with long-range transponders and automation technology to operate from a main central hub, reducing the manpower needed to maintain a route built through Ourea stations. While it boasts no offensive or defensive armament, the Ourea is equipped with state-of-the-art defensive technology from Roble Manufacturing as well as a deactivated garrison of TVX-16S Cylai-type Security Droids in the rare case of an intrusion. The Ourea is powered mainly by an RMC-114 Magnetic Energy Generator, which is able to essentially generate the necessary electrical power needed to run the station in perpetuity, although a backup hypermatter annihilation reactor can be used if necessary. The latter needs to be replenished when its resources are depleted, making it a small constraint for running the reactor.
Altogether, the Ourea is a leap forwards in terms of hyperspace-oriented technology and is destined to pave the way for new roads, or hyperlanes, in the decades to come.
