XGA103 Alien Scale

Extra-Galactic Alien (XGA01)

Scale: Fleet (very nominally 1:10000th)

Six starships supplied.

Size (Bounding Box): 13.0mm x 13.35mm x 2.9mm

The SV05-SC “Scale” has demonstrated the most number of configurations of an XGA01 vessel so far, with three observed: SV05-SC-D (Disrupter Scale), SV05-SC-P (Point-Defence Scale) and SV05-SV-M (Missile Scale). Without a decent data scan, we can only estimate its systems from the values we can fill in, or from extrapolating from observed performance from the battle logs.

All three seem to share the basic profile: an acceleration of at least 21.9mc, manoeuvrability estimated at around 240 MEUs and approximately 200 TXq-rated shields with a like Armour Integrity Capacity, which makes for substantial defences for a corvette of this size.

Their weapon load appears to be the major difference. Both the SC-D and SC-M appear to have similar blasterbeam point-defence arrays, estimated at 990TXq from the known values from the SV01-CE attack ellipsoids. The SC-P may have as much as five times this output, as it appears to be a dedicated point-defence vessel. Given the already excellent engagement sphere of the XGA01 blasterbeams, it is not entirely surprising that the vessel has no longer-range interdiction system that we have observed. There weapons, like the ellipsoids, do not have an apparent arc or emitter, but fire from any point of the Scale’s surface.

The SC-D Disrupter Scale appears only to carry a single cohesion disrupter array in addition to its defences. This discharges from any point the front rim of the vessel, but appears only to be able to be brought to bear in the forward hemisphere. It has a relatively short estimated accuracy envelope of only 200 000km. However, the estimated power out is an estimated 1650TXq. The Scale has the manoeuvrability to get into close range to use this weapon to full effect.

The SC-M replaces this armament with four missile racks, each carrying we what believe is forty 230TXq-yield warheads. This is roughly consistent with missile vessels of comparable size and technology. They appeared to have missile shields like Aotrs warheads. Oddly, while there is no appreciable drive glow (as they are gravitic drives), they have a green-blue glow like bioluminescence though the reason is unclear. It is unlikely to be purely aesthetic, since XGA01 does not appear to be especially vision-based, but like the purple crystal hull sections, perhaps this is some sort of scent-replacement visual analogue.

These missile racks fire out of the front rim of the vessel through closed hatches that are seamless and invisible when not in use, as typical with XGA01 technology. As of yet, we have only observed what appear to be conventional anti-matter warheads and no specialist munitions.
