Utilities

Quantum Field Focus Controller

Allows the Merian Class Starship to keep Shields and Communications online at 100% power during slipstream travel.

Multidimensional Wave-Function Analysis Module

A system on QSD equipped starships to detect interdimensional rifts in subspace and temporal distortions in space up to 23 light years away.

Chroniton Integrator

During Slipstream operation the Chroniton Intergrator is able to get sensor readings several seconds into the future. This prevents QSD equipped starships from running into objects in space during slipstream travel.
