Elysia Shipyard El- -01 Planetary defence Drone The Planetary defence Drone is meant to work in tandem with the PDS, serving to cover a small area, and to be more manoeuvrable, yet extending the protection over a more flexible area, and to more tactically useful. It possesses less systems, but is still highly efficient. They are unmanned, and controlled by the ‘parent’ PDS, with only limited autonomous ability beyond this.
The second part of Elysia’s planetary defence program, the PDD were made to grant more versatility in planetary protection, and to have greater utility, perhaps extending even beyond its set role, and to be used in a more tactical sense.
Organizations Using This Vessel: Elysian Celestial Navy Type: Planetary defence Satellite Class: En- -1 Designer: Manufacturer: Elysia Nova Ship Yards.
Crew: None. Appearance: The PDD is a smooth black oval with raised bumps which contains the Eye Beams.
Length: 40m Width: 40m Height: 35m
Decks: 1.
Speed (STL): .2c (~59,958 kilometers per second) Speed (CDD): .20 to 2,000c using Combined Distortion Drive. Note: The CDD can still function (although at reduced efficiency) even in the presence of anti-FTL fields. Speed (Aerial): Mach 1 in atmosphere (When using shields to maximise aerodynamics). The PDS has the ability to use its anti-gravity systems to have a soft landing and VTOL. Speed (Water): Up to 6 knots underwater. The PDS is able to ‘float’ on the surface by increasing its buoyancy using its anti-gravity systems.
Range: The PDD is designed to surround a planet and to protect it, but unlike the PDS its position in this is highly flexible, and it is made to be able to move not only around the planets orbit, but possibly even to another planet or the battlefield. Range (Support): Uncrewed, and with its own power source. Lifespan: Ten years. The likely easy availability of repair crews from the planet will greatly increase this. Refit Cycle: Gradual modifications and improvements will be made as the design is improved and perfected and Elysian technology progresses. A complete update will occur every six months.
The PDD does not have any rooms or anything for the sustaining of organic life, only various systems linked by superconducting wiring and semi-organic systems.
Hull/Armour: The relatively new Elysian “scale” armour which nests thousands of super-durable plates in a self-regenerative base. This is highly damage resistant and disperses energy very quickly due to its high surface area.
Shield Systems: The PDD uses a elliptical dimensional distortion (EDD) shield, which folds space using electrogravitic fields, wrapping the said space around the drone, encasing it in its own bubble. Once in this bubble objects are sheltered from both solid matter weaponry, less solid matter weaponry (such as plasma or a particle weapon), as well as energy weapons (such as a beam weapon), because they simply pass through the curved space around the ship, in effect the drone is not there to hit. The EED extends in to subspace and hyperspace, and provides the same protection their as in normal space. The PDD’s EED can protect against up to 500 Zettawatts worth of damage every square metre.
