Systems Alliance Technology

The Systems Alliance, or rather the Kadian portion of the Alliance, has developed and makes use of several technologies that aren't widely seen or used in the greater galactic community. While some of it may seen lower tech its still effective, while other tech may appear to be more advance when really its not that much different. After all a number of innovations to their technology came from reverse engineering, or developing new tech, out of tech recovered from the CIS and early Empire.

Beam Weapons
The Kadian civilization had ALWAYS used a particle based weapon, which had a natural properties to literally cut through armor with friction and heat in the form of a super charged particles in a tight energy beam.

Technology developed from CIS and Imperial technology would allow for better refined versions of these weapons, upping there fire power of a single weapon to match several standard Turbo Lasers.

The effects the weapon has on shielded ships its mixed, depending on the class of ship the target is, but its nearly a constant. The beams striking a shield may bleed through it and still strike the hull of the enemy craft, but with a much reduced effect.

Other types of beam weapons are designed for wide spread damage, much like a shot gun blast. This version of the weapon sacrifices the weapons natural penetration abilities to cause as much wide spread damage to a craft as possible.

Other types are designed with wider beam then normal, the idea behind it is to envelop an entire craft, or even an entire fleet, in a beam to cause catastrophic damage across the ship/fleet. (See Colony Laser) Another version of this type of weapon is focusing it into a highly powerful version of the typical beam weapon, capable of burning large holes into an enemy ship, often times even when it still has shields. (See Reinforce-Class Assault Cruiser with its Hyper-Mega Particle Beam Cannon.)

Nuclear Weapons
While they may be considered crude to the greater Galaxy, these weapons are still used to great effect by many civilizations, The Systems Alliance is one of them. They are fusion based making them more powerful then the fission ones others make still use. They make use of two types of nukes.

Type 88 Ifrit
These nukes are designed for wide spread damage, typically used in numbers against clustered together enemy formations. The resulting explosions cause damage and spread harmful radiation that disrupt scanners and other systems. The explosion is fusion based, effectively simulating a super nova though no where near as powerful as a true super nova its enough that it could wipe out entire fighter formations and cause damage to enemy ships in its blast.

Type 50 Shiva
The Shiva nukes as designed to focus its damage directionally in front, and are used on single targets. Between the two types that is the only difference between the Shiva and Ifrit.

Armor
Before the invasion of the CIS into the Kadian system, their ships and other vehicles/facilities made use of typical ceramic and steel composites for armor. Though they did have a superior metal they called Luna Titanium, which was used on special units. This was because to make the metal was time consuming and expensive, this changed after CIS technology was developed into their own.

With the technology developed from the CIS tech the Kadians developed new ways to make Lunar Titanium and even come up with new versions of it. It was now feasible to use it as standard armor for their ships and other vehicles/facilities. They had a long time to develop the armor to high resistances against the typical turbo lasers used by the rest of the galaxy, making it their primary defense. The armor its greatly more durable then durasteel but not as immortal as Phrik or Besker.

Power Systems
The Ionesco Fusion Reactor is used in some form on/in all ships, vehicles and facilities. It is typically reinvented each time for a new ship or vehicle to meet the needs required for that class. Despite this its core inner workings remain the same. They are highly reliable and provide all the power needed for the class they were developed for.

Most of its power is used for the beam weapons injunction with capacitors, depending on the weapon. Shields are the next load off of the reactor, this is because Shields were an after thought for many of the class of ships. Because of this shields tend to be weaker on SA vessels, but that hardly matters because of their armor.

Shields
Shield systems had to be developed from the ground up due the the incompatibility between the tech used by the Galaxy and the Kadian. The developed shields are just as durable to their counter parts but aren't nearly as strong, because the weapon systems take priority over the shields. "The best defense is a powerful offense!"

Newer ships like the Vestra-class Battlecruiser are being given larger reactors so stronger shields can be equipped, though by comparison they are still weaker for the ship then what its classed to be able to take on.

Bio-technologies
The Systems Alliance has many fields in this area of study, many of which may be below galactic standard BUT is more wide spread in use.

Gene-therapy
Offered to enlisted and officers alike free of charge, Gene-therapy is used to make the men and women of the Systems Alliance stronger, have more stamina, and thick faster then normal beings. this can be by a factor as high as by five percent, but is on average of one to two percent. This process can take years to be fully effective, but isn't totally unheard of for it to only take a few weeks.

The process is safe with the only problem being that the therapy just doesn't work. Citizens are even allowed to go through the process but at a price.

Cloning
The Systems Alliance has a basic form of cloning, meaning it took a while and had to be constantly under watch as the clone grew in the vat. They could make a perfect clone of anyone, and even through a special process can implant the memories and experiences of that person, much like installing a operating system on a computer. But this process can never guarantee the the person and the clone think exactly alike. It wasn't uncommon for a clone to be different in some ways.
