Naval technology

Acheron Transit: Passing from one universe to the other. Based on the Alcubierre Drive.

Atlas: Naval missile defense, based on the S-500

Genie: Emergency anti-missile defense used by naval vessels. Based on the AIR-2

Gravity Lens: Not fully understood gravitonics technology. Ships that use it can make shield walls to protect their fleet, but cannot move or see. Incoming missiles slingshot in other directions.

Gravitonics: Technology related to the manipulation of gravity. A lost art - artificial gravity exists, but it’s finicky, with fluctuations and tides.

Giants: Anti-ballistic missile defense. Based on the S-300

Helguns: The main naval guns, composed of Helical Railguns. They generally fire KEP rounds at 3-4 km/s. 5-7 km/s, while rare, is not unheard of.

Hyperspace: Lost technology. Great feats of science were accomplished here. See: KEF Drives

Inertialess Drives: Lost technology. Much faster and more mobile than contemporary drives.

KEF Drive: Used by Minds for <1000 LY instantaneous travel. Multiple jumps produce a flicker effect, but is not otherwise noticed by humans. Possibly described for the fuel use, CIF3. See Phosphex.

KEP Round: Kinetic Energy Penetrator, made of staballoy.

LFTR: Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactor. Powers the naval vessel, including the VASIMIR. A typical ship might only go through a couple tons of Thorium in a year.

M2P2: Mini-magnetospheric Plasma Propulsion. Used for basic fighter maneuvers and deceleration.

Madam: Slang for Medium Atomic Demolition Munition. The nuclear warhead of naval ships and mounted on the KEP, forming an MEFP. Based on the W45

MEFP: Multiple Explosively Force Penetrator. The KEP punches through the armor of the ship, and the Madam drives the MEFP in a shotgun shell spread hundreds of meters across. Variants might use Casaba rounds to narrow the blast.

Magsails: Magnetic sails. See M2P2

Phosphex: The front line troops called it Mister Death, Alpha Zeta, or simply, ‘Fuck-You-Phosphex’. Originally used as KEF fuel, now used as worldburners. (mental note: youve combined descriptions of chlorine trifluoride CIF3 with azidoazide azides C2N14, fix)

SABRE Engine: Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine, used for single-stage to orbit transit. VASIMIR: Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket. Primary propulsion of naval vessels in normal space. Is combined with MPD thrusters.
