History and Background

StarShield Brand LogoStarshield gel was created by Yugumo Fleetworks to be included in Yugumo Standard Damage Control Alcoves and for retail sale in YE 45. They sought an easy-to-utilize hand-held applicator that could deliver the gel into a hull breach easily by damage control teams.

Function and Design

Starshield Gel is a self-expanding hull sealant nanogel that is used to seal small hull breaches, punctures, and fractures. It is sold by the cartridge which fits in an applicator gun.

Starshield Gel

The core component of the nanogel is a dense concentration of specially engineered nanoparticles of graphene. The nanoparticles are suspended within a flexible polymer matrix and nanobots. This matrix is a critical element as it provides the nanogel with its gel-like consistency, allowing it to be easily applied to breach sites and conform to various shapes and sizes. They possess remarkable mechanical strength and can be programmed to adhere to durandium and other alloys.

Nanorobotics

Embedded within the nanogel are tiny nanobots or micromachines. These minuscule devices serve multiple functions. They help distribute the nanogel evenly over the breach area, ensuring complete coverage. Additionally, they can be programmed to actively repair and reinforce the damaged hull by fusing with the existing material. The nanobots interface with a KAIMON-Aperture chip in the gun as well as any KAIMON/Ascendant Companion or other KAIMON system.

Useage

The Gel comes in small cartridges or canisters that snap into the front of the applicator gun. It utilizes pressure on the trigger to push the Starshield Gel from the canister and through the applicator's nozzle. 1).

In general, this is designed to repair small breaches, fractures, and other small punctures under the size of a fist.

Pricing

Components are priced as follows:

Cross-Platform Functionality

Starshield products can have their nanobots programmed to work with systems other than KAIMON at the customer's request. For example, any sold to the Star Army of Yamatai will be configured to work with PANTHEON based systems.
