-Designed in [[timeline:ye_32]] by [[:character:kage_yaichiro]], Volumetric Windows are a replacement for the transparent [[materials:zesuaium]] windows which have been standard on all Star Army craft.  Their cost and the safety risk in using them has been offset by the fact that no better alternative could be found.  Advances in volumetric and sensor technology driven by Power Armor stealth, however, allow standard types of armor such as [[materials:durandium]] or [[materials:yamataium]] with [[materials:yarvex]] backing and [[materials:xiulurium]] coating to be used.+Designed in [[timeline:ye_32]] by [[characters:yamatai:kage_yaichiro]], Volumetric Windows are a replacement for the transparent [[materials:zesuaium]] windows which have been standard on all Star Army craft.  Their cost and the safety risk in using them has been offset by the fact that no better alternative could be found.  Advances in volumetric and sensor technology driven by Power Armor stealth, however, allow standard types of armor such as [[materials:durandium]] or [[materials:yamataium]] with [[materials:yarvex]] backing and [[materials:xiulurium]] coating to be used.
  
 Thin panels with volumetrics and sensors are installed inside and outside matching locations on the ship to provide the illusion of windows inside and outside without any changes in the actual armor structure nor any sacrifices in structural integrity.  Windows no longer need to be structural weak points, nor do they need to be dangerous to stand near in an emergency or combat situation.  It is also notably less costly.   Thin panels with volumetrics and sensors are installed inside and outside matching locations on the ship to provide the illusion of windows inside and outside without any changes in the actual armor structure nor any sacrifices in structural integrity.  Windows no longer need to be structural weak points, nor do they need to be dangerous to stand near in an emergency or combat situation.  It is also notably less costly.
