- | ====== Winter II Advanced Assembly Information ====== | ||
- | FIXME | ||
- | This article is a work in progress; It is currently not approved as canon. | ||
- | |||

- | While not important for pilots, the following information is useful to ground and deck crews, explaining the intricacies of the Winter II. Modification should be considered akin to performing surgery on a large cybernetic animal, given the unit has a nervous-system and is able to heal and grow. | ||
- | |||
- | The construction of the Winter II can be broken down neatly into a few simple components: | ||
- | |||
- | * The Torque Busdrive system which provides joints, [[advancedassembly# | ||
- | |||
- | * The [[advancedassembly# | ||
- | |||
- | * And the [[advancedassembly# | ||
- | |||
- | In addition to this, the frame' | ||
- | ===== Chassis Construction ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Torque bus ==== | ||
- | The torque-bus is the space-frame or endoskeleton of the frame. It is the primary structure used for securing and supporting all of the frame' | ||
- | |||
- | === Torque-bus endoskeleton === | ||
- | |||
- | Resembling the skeleton of a living creature and making up the bulk of the torque-bus, the endoskeleton has a honey-comb construction similar to that found in natural bone: smaller bubbles toward the surface for stiffness and then larger bubbles toward the middle; this means while the exterior can withstand knocks or hard strikes, the interior is spongy and can absorb intense shocks. With the application of the quasicrystalline construction technique the force of any one hit is not distributed over any one bone or even one element but through the entire torque-bus, in an effort to never let force build up over a single point to fracture it. | ||
- | |||
- | As a result, even when a frame has been battered, damaged, or destroyed their interior skeleton torque-bus is usually almost completely intact. | ||
- | |||
- | === Torque-bus fuel storage === | ||
- | |||
- | While the Winter II is very light in its dry-weight configuration, | ||
- | |||
- | === Torque Bus Marrow === | ||
- | |||
- | A form of seed structol, it allows for more structol and therefor substrate to be created if power and raw materials are available. As a result, the frame with the right resources available can appear to heal over a period of hours with a total repair of a nearly destroyed structol substrate taking several days in ideal conditions. | ||
- | |||
- | === Torque Bus Joints === | ||
- | |||
- | These ball-joints are inspired by talk about Kage Yaichiro' | ||
- | |||
- | Usually placed in pairs, these joints can be ejected using stembolts from one another and then re-attached an infinite number of times, like magnetic joints on toys - with obvious tactical uses. | ||

- | |||
- | Structol Substrate Musculature & Transmission System | ||
- | |||
- | Making up the bulk of the frame' | ||
- | |||
- | The substrate is in short: a microcolony of intelligent nano-scale components sourced from recovered Sourcian technology working in complex programmable concert together to reroute, repair and re-optimize for peak performance. | ||
- | |||
- | To the touch, the material resembles a solid tarry clay with an oil-slick like glistening appearance with holographic effect which moves like flesh or muscle. Looking closely, one can see geometric streaks and grooves in shapes resembling a mix of circuitry and living nerves. The circuitry in some ways resembles stretchmarks in human skin. In higher echelons of performance, | ||

- | ==== IRI Beam Drive System ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Using a single [[corp: | ||
- | |||
- | In addtion the physical integrity of the hull components including the skeleton and outer armour are also supported by [[corp: | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | === Centrifugal Motivator === | ||
- | Similar in function to the principle of an electric motor, the cyclic force of gravitic centrifuges throughout the body can express gyroscopic action as angular momentum and torque. This is ideal for stabilising highly precise shots and making extremely specific and sharp motion corrections, | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Armour & Stealth Systems ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Modular Exoskeleton ==== | ||
- | Fitted over the endoskeleton and structol substrate on shock-absorbent ligaments, the modular exoskeleton consists of a series of composite coverings knitted together with structol. These provide the second layer of physical protection for the frame and in stock designs it is similar in layout and form to the endoskeleton beneath. | ||
- | |||
- | The armour is constructed in composite ceramic layers designed to provide electromagnetic, | ||
- | |||
- | Like the endoskeleton, | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | === Structol Laminate === | ||
- | |||
- | Functioning as a skin over the exo-skeleton, | ||
- | |||
- | While somewhat difficult to see at a glance being scarcely an inch thick the laminate appears much like a glossy, wetlook, clearcoat paint job that is much like skin to the touch, though far smoother being reminiscent of polished latex while retaining a fleshy life-like texture. Curiously deepening its relation to skin it is often pleasantly warm to the touch, however it is not unusual for it to be chilly, or cold depending on its present state and function. | ||
- | |||
- | While normally the shiny laminate is quite eye catching, the visible exterior can be adjusted to appear matte and the pigment and colouring shifted. This can be applied for many purposes such as to create images, patterns, insignia, text, or colour schemes or basic camouflage or dazzle-paintjobs in its surface as needed. | ||
- | |||
- | In the event that the laminate is damaged and depleted stores of structol from inside the body of the frame can be pooled to replace the laminate given time, however this comes with the caveat of using up the frame' | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | == Quasicrystal Suspension == | ||
- | Suspended in the laminate are quasicrystals: | ||
- | |||
- | The applications of these functions all depend heavily on the stores of toledorium on-board which over the course of combat may become depleted reducing the options available to the frame. | ||
