Computer Cores Explained
Computer Cores By Anthony Keen
The cores of a ship or base are the nerve center of all computer and automated functions, from waste management to subspace communications. The core size and complexity cannot be underestimated, the larger cores are 10 decks high. Usually, a second core is carried as a redundant backup plus due to the complex systems, Engineering has their own core to regulate computer functions associated with warp and impulse engines.
Quadritonic Optical Subprocessors are distributed around the ship/station and allow independent functions of terminals such as the Bridge, in case of dire emergency or failure of all the cores at the same time.
Each core has a number of subspace field generators, allowing data to flow faster then the speed of light. Every sensor, replicator, PADD is attached in some way to the core and regulated from the controls monitor rooms of the computer technical team.
