These fields, created by specific field generators, use internal power to divert gravimetric forces exerted without and within the ship that would normally tear the ship apart, and compensate for inertial effects within the ship, to maintain a sense of normal gravity. When functioning ideally, no forces would be noticeable while engaging the entire range of the drive systems. Molecular Transporter Systems Molecular Transporters are matter to energy device enabling instantaneous travel from one location to another. The Engineering Department maintains a dedicated corps of technicians for the upkeep of these devices as intense technical parameters must be met in order for them to be rated safe for use by living beings. These devices were created in order to help carry out menial and humanly impossible labor, such as mining on a planet with no atmosphere.
ARCs are durable constructs, made with a titanium alloy to prevent rusting.
SEC has released dozens of different ARC configurations, from Secretary versions, to Security versions. This will help in the performing of duties where personnel are not available. The Umbilical Transfer Unit, otherwise known as the UTU, is a connecting terminal that can be extended, accordian-like, from the port side of one vessel to hook to a specially designed locking bay on the starboard side of another. When fully extended, the UTU reaches a length of 500m. It is equipped with an interlocking rail system, on which run automated harnesses for bulk cargo.
