<blockquote>MULTI-XMAP
Utilizing the most powerful processing systems available in the galaxy (designed and manufactured exclusively for the New Order), technicians of the NO-Tech (New Order Technical) Institution successfully developed a computer network capable of outperforming any computer currently in existance.
With processing speeds nearly twice as fast as the base computer of an Imperial Star Destroyer and memory capacity nearly ten times, the XMAP is easily the most powerful supercomputer in the galaxy, earning the title of "ultracomputer".
Following successful tests of the unit aboard Imperial patrol craft, the system has been adapted to interconnect with other same units, allowing for a complete network of XMAP computers (hence the project title, Multi-XMAP).
Incredibly expensive, the XMAP costs nearly three times the price of a standard Imperial Computer Core. For the near-unlimited resources of the New Order, however, the costs are almost trivial.
Project guidelines call for the Multi-XMAP system to be intregated into all warships of the Imperial Fleet over the course of the next year. Each ship is to be equipped with two connected XMAP systems, which should be networked to allow for instantanious communications between the two.
Multi-XMAP will automate many warship functions, including (but not limited to) the powering of all defensive and offensive systems on the occasion of a hostile vessel being detected by sensors, and mantaining all systems at top efficiency.
Ships equipped with Multi-XMAP would no longer have to worry about shields being down during a battle, or similar threats.
Connected to weapons systems, Multi-XMAP would increase targetting efficiency by as much as 6% and allow all weapons to be linked together at the choice of the Captain. For example, where a battery's targetting unit to be knocked offline, the weapon(s) could be slaved within seconds (automatically) to another targetting unit.
Multi-XMAP would increase sensor range of a vessel by as much as one-tenth, and rate of weapons fire by as much as one-fifth. It would also serve to boost communications systems and prevent enemy jamming, as well as to increase the efficiency of Imperial jamming measures.
While connected to the vessel's navigational systems, Multi-XMAP is able to calculate complex hyperspace jumps within seconds (as opposed to the many minutes required of conventional systems).
Finally, the ship-wide anti-missile network would be improved by as much as 25% with the addition of a completely integrated and connected computer system.
Applied to the Empire's fleet, Multi-XMAP would guarantee Imperial technology's reigning dominance over nearly all others.</blockquote>
