-====== Moua Active Jammer SEM ====== 
-Ke-S3-M3000\\  
  
- 
-**(NOT YET APPROVED FOR IC USE)** 
- 
- 
- 
-===== History and Development ===== 
- 
-Designed by KFY for SAINT, this SEM uses the Moua Active Jammer system from the [[stararmy:starship_classes:yuuko-class_gunboat]]. 
- 
- 
-===== Basic Description ===== 
- 
-This is an SEM designed to be able to jam most forms of communication, though it is not 100% effective--especially when point-to-point communications are involved.  It has an operational range of 2 AU, and otherwise is a standard [[stararmy:sakura_enhancement_module]]. 
- 
-===== Weapons Systems ===== 
- 
-Ke-S3-W2901 Positron Accelerator Cannon (1) 
- 
-This weapon is one of the standard Sakura Railguns normally found on the default nacelles of the ship, placed on the SEM so as not to leave it undefended. 
- 
-Below is the weapon, taken directly from the Sakura's technical data. 
- 
- 
-These cannons function as deadly antimatter railguns, firing massive 2000kg compressed positron shells at near-light speeds. Each railgun fires a subspace pulse (to provide shield penetration effects) which is used to provide short-term encasement to a packet of compressed positrons (which are suspended with electromagnetic fields until leaving the cannon). The positrons annihilate electrons they come in contact with, thus destabilizing and destroying molecules, and creating a surge of energy through the target. Anti-matter weapons should not be used in atmospheres. 
- 
-  * Location: Front of Nacelle (1) 
-  * Primary Purpose: Anti-starship 
-  * Secondary Purpose: Bombardment 
-  * Damage: Rating of 9. Extremely Heavy damage against any starship. Smaller starships or starships without high-end armor will likely be completely obliterated. 
-  * Area of Effect: Point of impact and splash area 
-  * Range: About 804,672 km (500,000 miles) 
-  * Rate of Fire: One burst every seven and a half seconds. 
-  * Payload: Self regenerating. 
- 
- 
-===== Other Systems ===== 
- 
-**Hull** 
- 
-There are two sections of Zesuaium-reinforced Yamataium Armor with Xiulurium coating, one for the top half and one for the bottom half of the SEM. 
- 
-**HSCS conduits and Passageways** 
- 
-The SEM contains passage ways to permit travel between the Sakura and the SEM, lined with HSCS conduit.  While the SEM lacks HSCS fluid or nodal capability on its own, it can utilize such systems from the Sakura it is linked to. 
- 
-The passageways have thick walls made of Zesuaium-reinforced Yamataium and Yarvex mesh, as well as Zesuaium-reinforced Yamataium bulkheads half a meter thick every ten meters down the corridor.  These are normally open, but can be programmed as needed.  They can be used to prevent depressurization, lock certain people or people below a given rank out of the SEM, or trap an enemy lured into the corridor.  These are under the control of the IES as well as the CO. 
- 
-**Aether Generator** 
- 
-The SEM has its own Aether Generator to supplement that of the Sakura.  The Sakura does not lose power to the SEM, so SEM use does not prevent the Sakura from firing its Main Gun, for example.  However, the Sakura can pull power from the SEM if needed for emergencies. 
- 
-**Capacitor Banks** 
- 
-The SEM relies on Aether Generators from the Sakura and itself to power the Capacitor Banks.  The banks are linked to power any devices on board, which are continuously charged by the Aether generators.  Rather than draw massive amounts of power at once for the SEM, they continuously charge, and when the capacitors are discharged, the banks are charged gradually again.  The charging rate can be configured via IES, but the faster the rate, the more the drain of the Sakura’s and the SEM’s Aether generators. 
- 
-**Docking Ports** 
- 
-For emergencies such as when the Sakura is disabled, or other unforeseen instances, a small collection of docking ports can be found, meant for shuttles and Power Armors from the Sakura attached to it. 
- 
-**Life Support** 
- 
-The SEM has basic Life Support, specifically air scrubbers, oxygen tanks, water and ration storage.  It is meant to be an emergency “life raft” of sorts, should the attached Sakura be destroyed, but lacks any form of engine capacity unless connected to an external computer.  If engines are needed, shuttles can be connected to the unit, though acceleration will be very slow. 
- 
-**Quick Release** 
- 
-In an emergency, the Sakura can detach from the SEM in less than one second, and vice versa.  However, this requires permission from the IES being disconnected, the highest ranking and surviving officer on the Sakura being disconnected, or the CO. 
- 
-**Self Destruct** 
- 
-With the potentially sensitive nature of the components of a module designed for any specific mission, it is possible to detach the vessel from a SEM and detonate it, using the Aether generator to overload and destroy the SEM. 
- 
-**Combined Field System** 
- 
-The Sakura S3 has an excellent Combined Field System that can protect against up to 4.5 YottaWatts worth of damage (4.5 x 1024 [4.5 septillion] joules a second ) per each 1 square meter area in either kinetic or energy form, or a bit more than the matter-energy conversion rate of the Sun (3.83 x 1024 Watts). This is usually enough to hide within a star or withstand many main cannon blasts from enemy vessels.  The nacelles are responsible for 15% of this power. 
- 
-**Ke-S4-E3000 Moua Active Jammer** 
- 
-Operating out to a distance of 2 AUs, the Moua’s active jamming component couples active counter measures with effective white noise to scramble most enemy communication and sensor systems – rendering them effectively inoperable. When the Moua is active, the resulting effect on enemy vessels is usually enough to alert them to the Sakura’s presence, even if they cannot ascertain its actual location.  
- 
-The Moua is not necessarily absolute though. It is possible for certain communication frequencies to be cleared prior to activating the Moua, and the same can be said for active sensor systems – allowing groups of Sakura to still coordinate themselves and monitor their environment. The same can be said for certain methods of transmission like point to point laser communication (which the Moua cannot block).
