DESCRIPTION

Simple in appearance, complex in function. The Ungolim-class Listening Post is a type of self-sustaining deep space station that specializes in intercepting, decrypting, analyzing, and storing the millions of holonet transmissions circulating any given sector of space. While this task may sound daunting, it is no different than the function of the more common planetary-based listening posts seen throughout the galaxy. In fact, thanks to advanced technology developed by the Helix Syndicate, the Ungolim-Class actually performs at a much greater efficiency than its counterparts.

Ungolim-class listening posts are crewed minimally by organics and largely by droids. Almost all of these are mere support and repair staff, however.

Most of the station’s power generation goes towards the large array of supercomputers kept onboard for the purposes of decryption work. The rest is kept for powering the cloaking device, which ensures the station is kept hidden from those who would seek to destroy them. Ungolim-Class listening posts are typically towed out to sections of space that are difficult to navigate through and are infrequently visited.

As with all Syndicate listening posts, transmissions sent out are routed through the HSNET via Uvani-Class HSNET Relays. This ensures that, without an individual's knowledge of the existence of the HSNET, these transmissions are virtually undetectable and indecipherable.

The station is manned primarily by communications technicians, who sort and organize the information collected with the help of the Aurelius-Class Decryption Engine. There is a token amount of other personnel, mostly support droids and a small amount of security guards.

Other than this, each station is perfectly mundane. Their armaments and other defenses are absolutely of no interest to anyone. Currently, only fourteen exist, but this number could be expected to increase if the Helix Syndicate was prompted to expand outside of the Pentastar Sectors.

The rest is kept for powering the cloaking device, which ensures the station is kept hidden from those who would seek to destroy them. Ungolim-Class listening posts are typically towed out to sections of space that are difficult to navigate through and are infrequently visited. They also tend to temporarily enter a “silenced” mode if suspicious vessels enter a certain proximity. This is only a rarity, of course. Most of each listening post’s infrequent transmissions are piggybacked onto mundane ones so as to escape suspicion.

[member="Helix Syndicate"], this looks solid.

Production: Limited (14)

Currently, only ten exist, but this number could be expected to increase if the Helix Syndicate was prompted to expand.

Does this mean that this could increase to 14 potentially? Or is it something else?

Woops! Sorry, there are fourteen. Just forgot to update the description. Should be fixed now.

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Spencer Varanin"]
