A Ship’s Sensor Suite is the detection package equipped in most ships.
- It is comprised of a number of different sensors including Densitometers, Radar, LIDAR, and more.
Description (Specifications)
TBD
Sensor Detection
Sensor Detection:
- Ordinary or commercial starships can detect other ships out to a range of about one-half light-second; about 1,500 kilometers. [1]
- Military and scout starships have detection ranges out to two light-seconds; 6,000 kilometers. [2]
Vessel Tracking
Vessel Tracking:
- Once a vessel has been detected, it can be tracked by anyone up to three light-seconds (about 9,000 kilometers). [3]
History & Background (Dossier)
Silent Running:
- Ships which are maintaining complete silence cannot be detected at distances of greater than half detection range; ships in orbit around a world and also maintaining complete silence cannot be detected at distances greater than one-eighth detection range. [4]
- Planetary masses and stars will completely conceal a ship from detection. [5]
