Full set of subsystems for T3 cruiser: LOKI

For many Minmatar, the high mountains of Matar hold wonders unknown to the rest of New Eden: hidden glens, beautiful creatures, buried customs. Not surprisingly, the Krusual tribe lay claim to these mountains, their home for generations and base to their machinations. Krusual elders whisper ancient tales among their huddled tribes, describing the glory of heroes past and enigmatic prophecies of old. On the darkest day, at the most hopeless moments, an elder may speak of loki, in reverent tones and excited hushes. In the ancient tongue, the loki are the crux of Krusual thought. There is no direct translation for this word; in fact, loki translates differently among the elders. It can mean “hidden wonder” or “secret passage”, “changing mask” or “unseen dagger”. Regardless of its context, loki has one meaning common to all its tales across all the elders: “hope”.

Comprised of countless nanomachines that enhance the energy flow from a ship's nuclear reactor, this core subsystem offers a pilot the option of increasing the power grid and capacitor capacity of their vessel. Designers of Tech III vessels were initially hampered by the problem of how to design a modular ship that could swap out basic engineering upgrades on a per-need basis. This proved particularly true when it came to reinforcing a vessel's power grid and capacitor banks without the use of batteries. In the end, the provision of nanomachines constructed from fullerene-based polymers allowed for solutions that had only existed in theory up until that point.

This subsystem employs a nano-electromechanical dispersion field to strengthen a vessel's sensor systems. Made from a complex system of neurovisual interlays, automated trigger response units, and billions of advanced molecular-level circuits, the subsystem offers improved protection against hostile ECM as well as improved sensor range and target acquisition speed.

Even millennia old, the technology employed by Sleeper drones is far from lacking. This is particularly true in the field of interdiction technology, where their capabilities often exceed contemporary systems. Consequently, this aspect of their fearsome arsenal has been the focus of much study and in some rare cases, the starting point for scientific breakthroughs. Minmatar researchers studied the long-range webification systems of the Sleeper drones from the moment they were discovered, quickly reverse engineering a subsystem for their Loki that could replicate the Sleeper's own offensive modules. The end result is a noticeable amplification of a stasis webifier's effective range.

After years of experience working with recovered Sleeper and Talocan technology from Anoikis, Sebiestor engineers have achieved a new breakthrough long though impossible: they have successfully developed fullerene nanomachines capable of repairing either shield and armor equally effectively. These tiny nanobots can actively switch between shield and armor repair on the fly allowing the Loki to achieve incredible repair systems without refitting facilities.

Capitalizing on the exceptional defensive capabilities of fullerene-based components, this subsystem allows a Loki pilot to augment their armor and shield defenses, dramatically enhancing its survivability in combat. Tiny molecular-level conduits play a crucial role in orchestrating the flow of nano-assemblers through and around the Loki, guarding the flow of vital repairs against disruptive impact.

From the moment Strategic Cruisers became a reality, there were whispers amongst the scientific community about the potential for advances in cloaking technology. They remained that alone for the longest time, with few involved in the reverse engineering process willing to share any news of their discoveries. Everyone knew that, should the technology ever become a reality, the capabilities of the new Strategic Cruisers would change overnight.

Adaptation and innovation go hand-in-hand, and this subsystem is a prime example of both ideas. While researching Sleeper drone weapon systems, a group of Minmatar engineers discovered that Sleeper launcher hardpoint design allowed for a vast increase to the rate of fire without increasing powergrid requirements. The resulting subsystem allows the Loki to achieve some of the most aggressive missile configurations seen on any cruiser.
