OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To provide a technology to the New Imperial Order that can reassess and redistribute skillsets to displaced workers, criminals, and other deplorable demographics.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Manufacturer: VOID Inc.
- Affiliation: New Imperial Order | VOID Inc.
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: Yes | The modularity applies to the different forms of stasis a user can be placed in, be it carbon freezing, sleep chambers, hypersleep, or other forms.
- Production: Mass-Produced. The number of ASS environments that can be installed are replicable and numerous.
- Material: Electronics, normally carbon-freezing, durasteel.
SPECIAL FEATURES
- An Artificial Shared Simulation provides a mental projection between inhabitants of up to a thousand different individuals in a virtual shared space, providing interactions and controls of one's subconscious.
- Though this technology stimulates the brain and the subconscious, the bandwidth is low enough to provide negligible constraints on the subject's biology - essentially creating periods of life in which the subject can remain in stasis but continue living their mentally extended lives through the virtual space.
- The virtual space is entirely controllable by the maintainers, and the virtual space can be changed at whim.
- For subjects in stasis, provides a virtual shared space in which the subject can remain conscious and virtually "still alive."
- Has negligible impacts on the subject's biology, providing extended periods of time in which a subject can remain in stasis but increase memories.
- Can "link" consciousnesses to the same virtual shared space, providing a communal experience.
- Elongated periods of time in the ASS may have unintended side effects on the psyche.
- Becoming self-aware of your time in the ASS may also have unintended side effects on the psyche, such as finding yourself involuntarily inside of the ASS.
- The experience is entirely shielded from outside networks. Each ASS network is individual, and has a limit of up to 1000 participants at any given time. For more participants, more ASS installations will be required.
- The ASS is not intergalactic. ASS installations will need to be setup per planet or per space station, and on location.
- Time is not sped up in the ASS.
DESCRIPTION
The ASS, or Artificial Shared Simulation, is a virtual environment created for the New Imperial Order's propaganda efforts. Mostly provided as re-education chambers, these virtual simulations can serve a multitude of purposes, ranging from extended high political figures lives in the virtual space or providing training environments for soldiers. Time flows at a regular interval in the ASS, so there is no current ability to learn new skills at rapid rates - despite many competitors offering the ability to do the same. Though the New Imperial Order would prefer the timeline of reeducation be sped up, it was Moff Kapshan's direction that provided this exact reasoning - and for more malicious endeavors.
The Moff wanted to use the opportunity, and contract of the propaganda machien the New Imperial Order was starting, to study the adverse effects of humans and otherkinds in the virtual space. More importantly, he wanted a space in which he could provide Project Luminar the amount of information on civilian behavior that he could. Data was the great war of this new era - the governments of the galaxy could play their various games. Many military contracts were floating about for just that exact purpose, and it was almost as if the Moff had a limitless purse to provide exactly that reasoning.
The ASS would provide their education, and training simulations, to the various workers of the Imperial Order that required new skills or the criminals that needed to be removed from society to be re-educated. And all the meanwhile, Moff Kapshan would be collecting their data, compiling it, for his nefarious plots.
