Competition: [GJW XVII Phase II] Miscellaneous - Prototype

Here is my prototype for the comp. My inspiration came from of course my love of aviation. The UAV itself was inspired my several platforms including the 2005 movie Stealth, Quinjet from Avengers and of course are current military VTOL aircraft and UAV's. I just used my colored pencils and drafting table to come up with my vision (I am no artist) and then used the Item Prototype Approval Policy to fill in narrative. Tried to be as specific as I could using my military talking point letter skillset (I use that word lightly) without being too "wordy."

Name: Collective CAV-12 Gozanti-class Cruiser
Rarity: Rare
Cost: 275,000 credits
Description: An automated ship boasting both fighter carrying and freight hauling capacity this variation on the long used Gozanti design is even better in its role than the empire or first order designs. The CAV-12 is the twelfth model designed by the cyborg collective experiment P-1778349, more commonly known by his given name Armid Vus. The ship was designed to have no wasted space, having a much larger cargo area than a stock Gozanti-class cruiser. This space allowed for increased shielding and for the supercomputer that runs the ship’s automation as well as some more cargo space. Hyperdrive capable this ship has average maneuverability and speed with heavy armor and powerful shielding. This ship has a very powerful AI system that is capable of running all systems proficiently without the need of a crew. This vessel also has four underside mounted docking clamps capable of mounting a wide variety of vehicles.

- Name: Technocratic Ghost-Crew Matrix
- Category: Member Corvette Upgrade
- Type: Member Corvette Upgrade - IV
- Proposed Shop: Synergy Starship Outfitters (obviously? 😅)
- Size: 1 slot
- Rarity: Legendary
- Base price: 199,000
- Description: Based on captured Technocratic Guild technology, the Ghost-Crew Matrix is an automation mainframe that replaces a living crew. The system hardwires directly into a Corvette's central computer and orchestrates a swarm of micro-crawler droids to handle all tasks and dropping the minimum crew requirement to zero. Since the vessel no longer needs an organic crew, owners can shut down life support entirely and push that extra power to other systems.
- Item Slots: None
- Aspect/Upgrade Slots:
- 1 slot allowing Aspects of type Droid Personality
- 1 slot allowing Aspects of type Droid Cosmetic

Misc notes:
I'm not sure how to indicate this, but the Droid Cosemetic is for the micro-crawler droids that come as part of the matrix.
This upgrade is intended to be a (major) step up from the existing Droid Brain upgrades available on member corvettes.

Item name: Shoulder-Mounted Blaster CAI-SL-DB Edition
Item category:
Proposed shop: Antei Armaments
Proposed rarity: Legendary
Proposed cost: 100,000
Item description: A blaster of pistol-strength and range mounted to the shoulder and powered by either any advanced armor the user may be wearing or a battery back that can be strapped to the waist or back. Due to the AI system that is incorporated into it, it can be either directly controlled and aimed at targets by the user, or set to Auto-Fire with various parameters. In times of emergency, and at a massive drain to any power source it is hooked to, requiring 30% of its battery pack, the AI can be instructed to activate a 'Black Lotus' mode - targeting all enemies in a near 300 degree sphere around the user, obviously avoiding at said user, and firing rapidly.
