Technology

The following Technology is used in the Legacy Fleet series:
 * Q-jump drive –The Quantum Field Drive. Relies on quantum mechanics. Uses something called a quantum field coupler to couple the power source to the ship’s hull.
 * Mag-rail guns –Fires ultra-high velocity (ten kilometers per second?), low mass (1 kg) rounds. Legacy Fleet ships have lots of these. Newer ships have fewer.
 * Gigawatt laser turrets --Legacy fleet ships have a few of these. Newer ships have lots. Ineffective against undamaged Swarm Carriers.
 * Artificial gravity --All ship have this.
 * Conventional thrusters --Used for intra-system travel between moons. Capable of up to around 4 g’s of thrust.
 * Nuclear missiles
 * Anti-matter beams
 * Anti-matter bombs (you only need a few nanograms…)
 * Meta-space communication –very low bandwidth communication that travels many thousands times the speed of light. Text only.
 * Artificial Singularities --Russian produced. Swarm deployed. Rely on General Relativity.
 * Point-defense rapid-pulse-ordnance (RPO guns) –Like mini-machine guns that are used mainly to take out incoming torpedos.
 * Fighters (X-25, Y-52) –use standard projectile rounds. Fast. Inertial cancellers. No artificial gravity.
 * Smart-steel armor –Used as hull plating for UE ships. Is a computationally-based material whose electron bandgaps are constantly and randomly modulated, making it incredibly dense and hard. But if you know the modulation frequencies you can penetrate with any energy-based weapon.
 * Inertial cancelers –Cancel inertia from thrusters and “bumps in the road”. Up to around 3 g’s.
 * Osmium bricks –In the metal extraction process from asteroids, Osmium is basicall useless since it’s poisonous, so it’s used as “bricks” carried by fighters to throw into singularities to close them.
 * Neo-Cordrine --latex glove material, impenetrable by anything. Except Swarm matter.
