===It's Dangerous To Go Alone, Take This=== The potential for hostile contact on planets, especially now that we have the means to go to other stars, is seen as inevitable. That being the case, Star Control has adapted some older designs left by the Lexites for an advanced ground-based defensive system that can be optionally equipped on all our planetary landers. Our primary means of defense is a plasma-based weapon system. This device uses a special method of electromagnetic containment to bubble up hydrogen supercharged into the plasma state. Due to the unique properties of the containment bubble these projectiles have a limited self-tracking capacity, especially against metal targets. Secondary to this active defense is the lander's own environmental protection systems. Ablative ceramic armor, inertial dampeners based upon the designs used in the Vindicator-class vessels, and even an advanced air filtration system help to protect the landing party from hostile threats. And we hope to be able to expand upon these systems soon through breakthroughs in material sciences and new picotechnology systems.
