Full set of subsystems for T3 cruiser: TENGU

When we first saw the flock, we were surrounded, caught in a spectacle of stimuli. Brilliant colors, dancing lights, beautiful cacophonies, wafting ambrosia. Those birds surrounded us, each one a different shape, an altered species, a new wonder. I tried to follow a single bird, but my efforts were futile: Transformation is natural to their existence. Imagine it: an undulating mass, a changing mob, all those beasts partaking in wonderful transmogrification. These were our augurs, our deliverers, our saviors. Standing amidst the flock, we should have feared their glory; instead, we drew hope. This moment is the first time I understood what it meant to be Caldari: Divinity in the flock, delivery in flux, one being, many changes. - Janto Sitarbe, The Legendary Flock

Comprised of countless nanomachines that enhance the energy flow from a ship's graviton 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.

New technologies have resulted in a noticeable increase in CPU efficiency, as better nanotech enables further miniaturization of circuits, the result of which is a marked decrease in system bottlenecking. This electronic efficiency gate capitalizes on that technology, offering a pilot greater CPU output and significantly improved sensor integrity.

This subsystem operates using the same fundamental mechanics as the signal distortion amplifier. When installed into a Tech III vessel, the fullerene-based components resonate with any ECM modules fitted , bolstering their disruptive strength.

When confronted with the challenge of adapting Sleeper designs to produce shield boost amplification systems, Caldari engineers turned to the defense systems used by certain Talocan structures that had also been found in a few ancient ruins. In some rare cases, the shielding systems on Talocan facilities were constructed using a harmony of Sleeper and Talocan designs. The first successful production of a shield boost amplification node drew heavily upon early study of this particular combination.

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.

Making full use of recent scientific advances afforded by the discovery of ancient technologies, Caldari starship designers have reverse engineered the equipment behind the Sleeper's metallofullerene armor plating. Through a complex substitution method, skilled engineers and physicists have been able to supplement a Tengu's shields, offering increased survivability for a pilot under heavy fire.

This missile launcher system was formed not from the missile bays of Sleeper drones, but from the direct-fire turrets and hardpoints salvaged from them instead. Adapting the underlying technology behind the drones' rapid-firing turrets for their own missile systems, Caldari engineers have managed to revolutionize modular launching mechanisms, improving launch speed and kinetic warhead payloads.
