Ship’s Computer: The computer installed on a ship controls all activity within, and is especially used to enhance weapons fire and defensive activity. [1]
- It is an object and a technological device, a product of Information Technology.
- The simple hardiness of ship’s computers makes them extremely durable.
- Almost all are designed to use lower technology repair components in most functionalities. For this reason, ship’s computers tend to be much larger and more voluminous than strictly function-based microelectronics.
Description (Specifications)
A Ship’s Computer also transmits control impulses for maneuver and jump drives, and conducts the routine operation of all ship systems. What the computer actually does is based on the programs actually installed and operating at any one time. [2]
Selected Ship's Computer Types
- Model/1 Computer
- Model/2 Computer
- Model/3 Computer
- Model/4 Computer
- Model/5 Computer
- Model/6 Computer
- Model/7 Computer
History & Background (Dossier)
Ship’s Computers within Charted Space are intentionally built to work under a number of different operating systems, different technology levels of computers, and to be extensively toughened for hard use under vacuum if necessary.
