• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

Magnetic Assembly Containerized System - 1: CELSS Life Support Container​

9l8kKFS.png

A fully enclosed ecological life support system that can maintain all of the needs of 3 people long term including filtering out liquid waste products, providing fresh water, growing vegetables, and producing some plant-based proteins. The onboard electronics largely self-manage the ecology contained inside, but it is recommended to have a botanist to monitor such systems.


Overview


Name: MACS-1
Type: CELSS Life Support Container
Operators: Magnetic Assembly
Manufacturer: Magnetic Assembly

Height: 2.0 Meters
Length: 10.0 Meters
Width: 2.5 Meters

History


Originally designed in 2310, the Containerized Component Modules quickly became a staple of modern starship design, allowing starships to be quickly constructed just by connecting crew space to cargo containers already equipped with the necessary equipment to support spaceflight.

After the New Years Revolution in 2320, the Magnetic Assembly no longer needed to consider the needs of the American Union with its designs and could focus more on long term sustainability of the system to better support the extreme long distance operations of the Assembly. In 2321 the New Modular Ship Program provided an opportunity to update the older containerized modules, and by the end of the year the first of those modules would start entering production for usage throughout the Hawking system.

Layout

The module is built to be the same size as a standard cargo container, and houses the various intakes it needs to operate on one side of the container. This piping can be connected to a ship to provide waste water treatment, O2 Transfer, and CO2 Removal. A small access space barely large enough for one person to squeeze through along the center of the container can provide access to the internals of the system to carry out repairs or to retrieve compressed protein blocks created from the algae and fungus used in the internals of the device.

In 2322 the design was updated to use a stronger exterior frame with thinner retractable side panels to allow the entire container to be opened up and serviced from the side. This provides full access to the interior for repairs or extraction of proteins which makes the container far more serviceable over the long term.

Usage


Attaching this module to a ship provides a self contained regenerative life support system that can sustain 3 people essentially indefinitely so long as power is provided. Onboard computers and automation tend to the system, normally requiring no maintenance from an individual over the course of its expected operational life.
