KPM Hypergate (Jumpgate)
​

Description: The Protectorate's Hypergate is capable of single direction mass transit of numerous individuals and small vehicles. Anything capable of fitting through the hypergate's archway(10m X 20m) can be transported. The Hypergate utilizes an incredibly powerful astrogation device capable of precisely creating a temporary opening in hyperspace to allow for mass transit to a specific location. The delivery location can be a near pin pointed location on a planet or in open space, with the exception that nothing sent through the gate can be transported into any already existing structure, artificial or otherwise, and cannot be used to transport individuals or goods onto any ship. The device is built onto a large platform, that is capable of being sealed and transported, with at least an hour of advanced notice, and a bit of heavy labor. The device could then be placed into a large freighter or towed through space. While being transported in this fashion, the power source must be disconnected and the Gate cannot be operated until properly set up again. The Gree have agreed to assist the Protectorate in the Creation of the gate for their efforts in elevating their society.

Intent:
The Protectorate's Hypergate will allow the faction to quickly transport units to the battlefield, small ships to specific locations, small batches of goods for trade, as well as provide an extremely stylish form of faction specific travel for Player Characters. The KPM Hypergate is not for public use and will be restricted to faction Player Character use as well as supervised NPC use, the KPM Hypergate comes equipped with A fail save shutdown system should an attempt to operate the machine be executed by a nonmember of Protectorate, the system will require a reboot by two Protectorate members of Officer rank or above.

Hmm. I like the concept a lot. But I am curious how it works. I know you're basing this off of the Gree, but the Gree don't exist yet in canon, as well as their technology, so i'm not sure if you'll be able to use that technology base here.

 

[Mad Dog]

According to what I could find, The Gree had an ancient technology called the hyper gate, I couldn't find an exact time period. but seeing as how most of current Star-wars conversation and narrative takes place during the time period of the six movies it's somewhat reasonable to believe that our current timeline could be when the Gree had used these devices as common place. Also, cause it's awesome. Haha. I imagine Fallout 4's style of the Institute teleportation device, adding an unmatched awesome style and fashion of entrance.

To clarify, since im sure this is what you were asking, The Hyper-Gate is capable of mass transit of individuals and small vehicles through hyperspace and is capable of avoiding Mass Shadows, meaning one would never get caught half inside an object or another person or something like that. The device is also a one way transit device, meaning what is sent through will have to find another way back.

@Outlander

P.S. added a bit.

Mad Dog...you seem to imply with your statement that you can send objects THROUGH solid matter with this tech. As in, you can appear with pin point accuracy inside of enclosed spaces, via the teleportation you mentioned and the visual aid you used.

Why would you ever send people through that, instead of just sending cargo containers full of explosives into enemy ships with pinpoint accuracy? You seem to imply you could teleport, ignoring all mass shadows, any object into any space. I say you should have it able to clip objects like a broken physics engine, for maximum damage of enemy structures and vessels.

Being able to bypass mass shadows protects the objects and peoples sent through the device, assuring their safe arrival. This a lot like the hyperdrives used on ships, with notable differences of course.

So you're saying you could teleport explosive material inside of ships or enemy bases with pin point accuracy?

 

[Sarah]

I have the perfect solution: (Puts"Putting explosives on ships is not the intended use" sticker on the side of the gate.).

 

[Mad Dog]

While it is technically possible it's extremely highly improbable, the person operating the machine would have the exact galactic coordinates of the ship. And that's almost impossible. When using the Gate the person operating can't physically see the destination, it's not a crystal ball.

Meaning we could send armed explosives through the Gate but it would be anybody's guess what's at the location of arrival. Just like making a hyperspace jump in your ship, if you somehow knew exactly where somebody's ship was you could jump and land so that when you come out of hyperspace you could collide with it. Again highly improbable but I suppose its possible.

 

[Sarah]

So in a fleet battle it would be absolutely useless, same with surprise attacks on ships? I'd personally say good 'nuf, but I am a simple nooblet.

In a space battle it's only use would be to transport smaller ships capable of fitting through the Gate 10 X 20 meters to the location of the battle field. Which should only be star fighters, maybe bombers too. And probably small interceptors.

We'll print those stickers.

What would prevent a forward observer from transmitting target coordinates to the gates handler? You could, with minimal investment, basically auto win any significant battles for territories or installation. You can instantly destroy any armory or fuel dump or garrison you know the location of, drop troops directly into the Senate chambers or military HQ, the emperor's throne room, etc...

I don't see this being admitted, just from a balance perspective, without significant nerfing.

I won't address the technological issues as those have been covered. I don't see a link to the thread where this device was created. It looks like you are claiming you completed the the necessary thread for Gree as a resource planet. I have no idea if that is true or not. Even if you completed the 3 ASK missions, the other factions get two weeks to do the same. I know the Sith are attempting to secure Gree as well. At the very least, this appears to be premature.

The Gree resource is as follows:

"Through whatever means, you have convinced the Gree to provide some small amount of weapons and technology for your faction. The victorious faction is allowed to develop 2 new pieces of technology, utilizing alien and exotic technology."

I don't think this would fall into a permissible resource.

The Kjlljk Protectorate completed the gree prerequisites almost 3 weeks ago. I've received the go ahead to create the tech and to, after approval, submit an expansion for the items.

Also the Gree already command Hypergates. They are just secretive about them. We are simply having them help us build one for ourselves.

P.S. secretive wasn't the right word for it. But it's on Wookieepedia

Something to note is that the Gree have hypergates in legends. However, we use the new Disney Canon for the site, so I'm not sure if it would still apply.

 

[Sarah]

I'm just saying, I don't like the Disney canon. But the fact you guys go about it means you at least have the most accurate possible scene for the site.

Lol, I simply wish they would have left the expanded universe alone, but what can ya do, right?

 

[Loco]

The EU still exists. Disney didn't buy up every copy of every EU book or comic or cartoon and destroy/replace it 1984 style- they're just not making themselves beholden to it for newly released stories. We can still draw inspiration from it for things here on the site, but what we cannot do is just say "lol exists in EU suck it" as a justification for something. The Suncrusher and ysalamiri exist in EU, but that doesn't mean we can recreate them as-is here.

We still have to concern ourselves with things like balance, and (to bring ourselves back on topic) that more than anything is my main concern with this tech- it's wildly, ridiculously, absurdly unbalanced as written.

 

[Sarah]

"lol exists in eu suck it" Me: Well that makes sense, I gueeess

Fair enough... Maybe we do terminator rules with it? Everything that comes through must be organic?
