1- dedicated holographic droid.

Vanish three sensor mask Opperating limits:* * * *

Holographic projection radius: 25 meters (around the droid unit)
Stores up to three different ship holo-images at a time

Dedicated Electromagnetic transmission mask stores 1 false ship mask at a time.
-projection Radius that it can be most effective= 8 m-
-less effective but can extend to 16 m-

System networking broadcast limit: 50 meters

This is one tier of Operation reflection’s three tier system of creating the illusion of a real ship. The Holo-shroud Droids use the Vanish three sensor mask but have less powerful Vanish 3 Electromagnetic Disguise Systems installed but also has more powerful holographic generators installed. This droid is dedicated to making the holographic appearance of a capitol ship. They can create a nearly flawless outward appearance of a ship by linking their systems into a network. Allowing them to think as one droid hive mind that overlaps their holograms so that there are no gaps. If one droid is destroyed then another can take it’s place, generating what was lost with losing one droid.

They have the ability to give off false sensor data but it is mainly to cloak them selves when they are moving alone. They can make a false sensor ghost but they are far more limited in that ability then the Sensor-Shroud droid. It takes several more of the Holo-Shroud Droids to create a successful illusion then it would when working in tangent with the Sensor-Shroud droid

The vanish three system is so advanced with the advent of positronic technology to expand processing capabilities the can adjust to creat a fuller illusion of a real ship. For instance they can create the holographic illusion of weapons fire within their 25 meter radius as well as make the illusion of damage done by attacking ships that fire on an illusionary craft.

The two droids can also be used to hide real ships by Using the sensor mask on the outer hull of a given ship allowing them to use the Vanish 3 sensor mask to hide the ship from view using the vanish three’s capability to imitate the emmissions of the surrounding space with precision. Effectively cloaking them in an external cloaking device.

It takes the projection limits of the electromagnetic sensor mask and that of the Holo-projection units of the Vanish 3 sensor mask determine how many droids it would take to cast a given image. The holographic units project an image over a radius of 25 meters. For these droids to imitate the image of a 250 meter ship such as the nubulan b-2 frigate you would require at least ten of the droids. More if they wanted to have enough to back up one another when a droid is lost to weapons fire.

They can also project the Electromagnetic Disguise System but in a limited fashion. The droids can project the EDS in a radius of 8 meters effecitively. So to project a false image of a Nubula B-2 frigate you would require 32 of the droids. One for each meter of the ship that it wishes to project.

2- dedicated sensor mask droid.

Name: Sensor-shroud droid
Length: 10 Meters
Hyperdrive: None
Sublight: 80 MGLT
Maneuverability Rating: 68 DPF
Shields: 40 SBD
Hull: 30 RU
Crew/Pilots:limited Positronic droid core with networking capabilities
Weapons: none
Systems: Vanish three sensor mask

Vanish three system operating limits:

Holographic projection limit- 5 meters (around the droid unit)
-Stores one ship mask at a time
Dedicated Electromagnetic transmission mask stores 3 false ship masks at a time.
-projection Radius that it can be most effective= 35 m-
-less effective but can extend to 50 m-

System networking broadcast limit: 50 meters


This droid ship uses the Vanish three sensor mask to either hide a ship or too reflect false sensor data. This ship has some holographic counter measures as the Holo-shroud droid but they are mainly to hide themselves from view. The Droid itself is dedicated to giving off false sensor data within a radius of 35 meters around the droid. This droid works in tangent with other droids or ships equipped with the Vanish three sensor mask in order to create a convincing illusion of a real ship.

This is the second tier of Operation reflection. While the Holo-shroud droid is able to duplicate the outer appearance of a ship with precision the Sensor-shroud Droid makes certain that there is a precise false sensor reading that is sent back to a given ships sensors. The two working together make it so that either a convincing Phantom ship can be created or the illusion of blank space is broadcast effectively working as a cloak.

Effectivness depends on the number of droids. If there are enough droids to make sure that the 35 meter broadcast limit adds up to the meterage of a ship then the sensor illusion is 100 % effective. If there are not enough droids then the illusion is dimminished by the percentage of droids that are missing.

The two droids can also be used to hide real ships by Using the sensor mask on the outer hull of a given ship allow them to use the Vanish Three Sensor Mask to hide them from view. Effectively cloaking them.
