(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Helio-Barycentric Cold Fusion Reactor
A Fusion Reactor technology utilising "Cold" Fusion by extracting electromagnetic charge from the process of Hydrogen-Helium Fusion by capturing escaping Photons before they create heat in external mediums. HBCF technology is the cornerstone of high efficiency, high output power generation in Aquarius.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Standardised Starship Fuel
Standardisation of Hydrogen-based Solid-State Fuel pellets took place during the early days of the Old Federation's First Expansion Era. The result is a thousand-year old standard incorporating a multitude of interchangeable usable scenarios surrounding super compressed solid Hydrogen Fuel Pellets, used in essentially every Fusion Reactor-based powerplant technology in known space.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Microlaser Detection and Ranging
Military-grade sensors technology deployed on almost all human-designed starships of the modern age. MLADAR uses high intensity microlasers (MicroLAser Detection And Ranging) on high frequency wavelengths to map physical objects in the vacuum of space by measuring the characteristics of the beam feedback.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Polarytically Infused High-Temperature Superconductors
PIHTSC. Superconductors allow transfer of high electrical potential over long distances with little to no loss as heat or light due to resistance in the medium, such as metal cables. Typically, most elements become superconductors at extremely low temperatures, but exploiting this properties requires more energy to cool the medium than is gained in the removal of electrical resistance. Discovery of synthetically produced High-Temperature Superconductors revolutionised starship-grade power delivery systems enabling ultra-high efficiency energy distribution.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) S/M/LRM Weaponry
Standardised kinetic projectile technology consisting of, typically, a self-propelled, self-guiding motor unit with a fixed payload. Colloquially known as "missiles" among most Terran militaries. Missile technology used aboard warships in Aquarius are categorised into three groups Short Range (S), Medium Range (M) and Long Range (L). A fourth designation ELR (Extreme Long Range) Exists but is often considered under the ISBM technology branch.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Ion Maser / Ion Maser Particle Accelerator Cannon
Heavy Anti-ship weaponry designed originally by the UTN Federal Navy as a prototype replacement for the standardised Fusion Impulse Mass Driver employed on most terran warships at the time. Original Ion Masers were first deployed to great success during the Radacri Wars on the advanced Endeavour Series 5A-class Battlecruisers but were introduced too late to make any significant difference to the outcome of the war. The modern "IMPAC" weapon systems is a further development of the Ionising pulse beam, with a radiological 'tunnel' upon which a charged particle is energised during firing. IMPAC is considered to be a hybrid kinetic/energy weapon and is the standard weapon systems employed on A-Type hardpoints on almost all Aquarian Imperial Navy warships.
(UTN/UAS/ATIS) Gravity Field Generator
Standard starship artificial gravity generator. Pioneered by the TSRC before the Exodus, the technology allows localised gravity fields to be generated by modulating graviton pulse waves within an existing gravity well, such as that naturally created by a massive starship or space-station. This allows flexible directional attraction using gravity fields to create the impression of earth-like surface gravity on starships without centrifugal systems. The technology is widespread and used on almost all space-faring vessels short of single-seat craft and unmanned facilities.
