• 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.

New Modular Ship Program​

The New Modular Ship Program is a series of modular components and a common architecture that combines the various components avalible to the Magnetic Assembly into a shared system that allows for ship to be quickly designed, constructed, and deployed into the Provisional Fleet.

Instead of producing a single starship with interchangeable components that could be swapped out like the S4 Series Starship, the New Modular Ship Program produced numerous different starship hulls from modular components.

History


The S9 Ship Program was started in late 2321 both as an excuse to update the S4 series of starship modules with the latest in construction methodologies developed on Rotislav, and to produce dedicated combat ships to support the ongoing conflict with the American Union.

By the 2320s, much of the older tooling and assembly systems on Rotislav had been updated which in turn required older designs be updated to make better use of new technology. At the same time, the War with the American Union changed the types of missions being carried out by ships built around Rotislav, and the distances in which those missions needed to be carried out. This would lead to an effort to redesign many of the modular ship systems that the Magnetic Assembly had been using. This would first result in the S9 Ship Program.

The S9 Ship Program was started in late 2321 to be the initial design created as part of the update process. This would be used to develop individual components but would ultimately be canceled in a few months as it was determined there was no way to reasonably send drones into the Sol. The S9 Program would then be renamed the New Modular Starship Program, and development would switch towards creating components for two new ships that more fit the expeditionary harassment plan of the war effort.
