When pressed at a formal dinner, Evan Behring himself famously acknowledged that the division exists, but then claimed that they \u201cdevelop next-generation home goods.\u201d Today, the company acknowledges that BAT exists and that they are responsible for the heavy weaponry found on naval warships, but denies the budgetary implication that they have a much wider role in top-secret research.\n\nAlthough BAT\u2019s existence was formally denied, its effect was always widely felt and its role is widely recognized across the galaxy; after all, even before the admission, the massive laser weapons used by UEE ships-of-the-line had to come from somewhere. Thanks to the general collection of folklore and the overall passage of time, BAT\u2019s long history, stretching back to the early days of spaceflight, is now well explored. The Behring consortium was founded in 2554, a combination of several dozen smaller research and development firms. This arrangement gave rise to the famed Terra laboratory responsible for standard laser weaponry and dozens of other Behring innovations. Quietly, though, it also birthed BAT. Initially hidden on a Terran moon (and now beneath the surface of Odin II\u2019s moon, Vili), BAT was charged with meeting the needs of military black budget projects.BAT is known for its unflinching attitude toward experimentation and research; the scientists and engineers who compose the team have labored ceaselessly and loyally creating weapons of both conquest and defense across a variety of political landscapes.\n\nTo this day, it is difficult to say what innovations originate at BAT beyond the fact that the division must be responsible for much of the UEE\u2019s capital-class naval weaponry. Certainly, Behring has taken no credit for weapons or other technologies developed there. It is none the less believed that BAT has developed the technologies of a wide variety of fields, the most obvious of which can be found in significant enhancements to shield, propulsion, laser mirroring, and remote sensing technologies. One thing that is widely known today is that the BAT division\u2019s unofficial mascot is Barrie, a cartoon bat who has been lovingly painted on countless prototype killing machines.\n\nCapital-Class Turrets\nIn particular, the Behring Applied Technology laboratory has been given credit for two types of high yield capital ship weaponry: Anti-Ship Artillery (ASA) weapons and Ship to Ship (STS) turret weapons. ASA turret mounts are designed, simply, to protect large ships from smaller ones. With lightning-quick hydraulics and integrated targeting interfaces, ASA turrets are generally sited in a ring around a capital ship\u2019s hull to offer as full an arc of protection as possible. ASA turrets mount smaller yield laser weapons similar to those found on civilian spacecraft. The stock military Idris-M frigate, for instance, carries six ASA turrets that each mount a Behring M3C laser system.\n\nShip to Ship turrets are a much more powerful affair, designed to punch through the shields and hull of other large starships. Although they lack the quick reaction time of ASA turrets and so are generally unsuitable for flak coverage, their higher caliber weaponry will ensure that any hit against a fighter or bomber is likely deadly. Like their smaller cousins, STS turrets are modular and can be outfitted with a variety of individual guns. For example, the Idris-M corvette mounts a centerline STS \u2018stinger\u2019 turret featuring a Behring M5C laser cannon. The workhorse of the Navy, the Javelin destroyer, mounts a pair of Behring M6A laser cannons on STS turrets standard.\n\nWhile the concern is responsible for manufacturing, antimatter yield coring, and other important processes in turret development, likely the most significant advancement they have been credited with is the development of the shield interphase kits that are now standard on all turrets. Prior to the 28th century, it was believed impossible to design a shield system that could operate with a rotating turret; where early shields were designed with \u2018blind spots\u2019 that could allow fixed cannons to fire out of a designated hardpoint, they lacked the ability to do the same with a gun whose position was impossible to predict before firing. Capital ships of an earlier era would need to drop their shields entirely before firing, which made arming with anti-spacecraft weaponry impractical. With BAT\u2019s interphase kits, almost anything can be shot out from within a standard shield.\n\nRail Guns\nWhat would you do if you had the biggest gun in the galaxy? BAT offers the opportunity to answer that question in the form of their massive 130mm \u201cShip Buster\u201d rail gun system. The most powerful single-charge rail gun in known space, a hit from a Ship Buster is capable of smashing a destroyer as though it were a tin can.A single Ship Buster forms the keel mount of the Bengal carrier, while a series of the weapons forms the fighting power of the Retribution-class. These rail guns use the same technologies as standard fighter-based mass drivers, on a massive scale once thought impossible to achieve. Series of thousands and thousands of charged electromagnets generate the power needed to throw the 130mm slugs.\n\nBlack Ops\nIt seems undeniable that BAT is heavily involved in black ops research. Recent advancements in remote sensing, automated camo and jointed thruster technologies have likely sprung from Behring\u2019s top secret labs. Although this will never be formally confirmed, the trillions of UEC funneled into the research efforts within Vili\u2019s core could retrofit the standing navy\u2019s wide caliber lasers a dozen times over. More horrific rumors imply that BAT is responsible for biological warfare research. There is clear evidence that a number of eminent xenobiologists have \u2018gone grey\u2019 and disappeared into the black ops wing of the military. Whether or not the fringe claims are accurate that they are taking part in the vivisection of Vanduul prisoners of war is less clear.","de_DE":"Der Gesch\u00e4ftsbereich Behring Applied Technology steht an einem interessanten Ort: W\u00e4hrend seine Existenz eines der am schlechtesten geh\u00fcteten Geheimnisse der Galaxie gewesen sein mag, ist seine Reichweite und sein Einfluss auf milit\u00e4rische (und Spin-off-)Technologien vielleicht nie wirklich bekannt. Die Gr\u00fcndungsunterlagen f\u00fcr das Waffenkonsortium Behring erw\u00e4hnen die Division nicht, Presseanfragen werden ignoriert oder ausgewichen, und Organigramme zeigen keine Aufsicht.... aber ein best\u00e4ndiges Viertel der Gewinne des Unternehmens verschwindet mit jedem ver\u00f6ffentlichten Budget.... Jahrelang war jede Erw\u00e4hnung der Division streng verboten. Evan Behring selbst r\u00e4umte bei einem feierlichen Abendessen ein, dass es die Spaltung gibt, behauptete aber dann, dass sie \"Haushaltswaren der n\u00e4chsten Generation entwickeln\". Heute erkennt das Unternehmen an, dass es BAT gibt und dass sie f\u00fcr die schweren Waffen auf Marinekriegsschiffen verantwortlich sind, bestreitet aber die haushaltspolitische Implikation, dass sie eine viel gr\u00f6\u00dfere Rolle in der streng geheimen Forschung spielen.\n\nObwohl die Existenz von BAT formell abgelehnt wurde, war ihre Wirkung immer weit verbreitet und ihre Rolle ist in der gesamten Galaxie anerkannt; schlie\u00dflich mussten die massiven Laserwaffen, die von UEE-Schiffen der Linie verwendet wurden, schon vor der Zulassung von irgendwo herkommen. Dank der allgemeinen Sammlung der Folklore und des allgemeinen Zeitablaufs ist die lange Geschichte von BAT, die bis in die Anf\u00e4nge der Raumfahrt zur\u00fcckreicht, nun gut erforscht. Das Behring-Konsortium wurde 2554 gegr\u00fcndet und besteht aus mehreren Dutzend kleineren Forschungs- und Entwicklungsunternehmen. Aus dieser Anordnung entstand das ber\u00fchmte Terra-Labor, das f\u00fcr Standard-Laserwaffen und Dutzende weiterer Behring-Innovationen verantwortlich ist. Leise wurde daraus aber auch BAT geboren. Urspr\u00fcnglich auf einem terranischen Mond versteckt (und jetzt unter der Oberfl\u00e4che des Mondes von Odin II., Vili), wurde BAT beauftragt, die Bed\u00fcrfnisse von Black-Budget-Projekten des Milit\u00e4rs zu erf\u00fcllen. BAT ist bekannt f\u00fcr seine unnachgiebige Haltung gegen\u00fcber Experimenten und Forschung; die Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure, die das Team bilden, haben unerm\u00fcdlich und loyal daran gearbeitet, Waffen f\u00fcr Eroberung und Verteidigung in einer Vielzahl von politischen Landschaften zu schaffen.\n\nBis heute ist es schwierig zu sagen, welche Innovationen bei BAT ihren Ursprung haben, \u00fcber die Tatsache hinaus, dass die Abteilung f\u00fcr einen Gro\u00dfteil der Marinewaffen der UEE der Hauptklasse verantwortlich sein muss. Sicherlich hat Behring keine Anerkennung f\u00fcr Waffen oder andere dort entwickelte Technologien erhalten. Es wird jedoch angenommen, dass BAT die Technologien einer Vielzahl von Bereichen entwickelt hat, von denen die offensichtlichste in signifikanten Verbesserungen der Abschirm-, Antriebs-, Laser- und Fernerkundungstechnologien zu finden ist. Eine Sache, die heute weithin bekannt ist, ist, dass das inoffizielle Maskottchen der BAT-Abteilung Barrie ist, ein Cartoon-Schl\u00e4ger, der liebevoll auf unz\u00e4hligen Prototyp-T\u00f6tungsmaschinen gemalt wurde.\n\nT\u00fcrme der Hauptklasse\nInsbesondere das Labor von Behring Applied Technology wurde f\u00fcr zwei Arten von hochprozentigen Kapitalschiffswaffen ausgezeichnet: Anti-Schiffs-Artilleriewaffen (ASA) und Ship to Ship (STS) Turmwaffen. ASA Turmhalterungen sind einfach so konzipiert, dass sie gro\u00dfe Schiffe vor kleineren Schiffen sch\u00fctzen. Mit einer blitzschnellen Hydraulik und integrierten Zielschnittstellen sind die ASA-T\u00fcrme in der Regel in einem Ring um den Rumpf eines Gro\u00dfschiffes angeordnet, um einen m\u00f6glichst vollen Schutzbogen zu bieten. ASA-T\u00fcrme montieren Laserwaffen mit kleinerem Ertrag, \u00e4hnlich denen von zivilen Raumfahrzeugen. Die Milit\u00e4rfregatte Idris-M beispielsweise tr\u00e4gt sechs ASA-T\u00fcrme, die jeweils ein Behring M3C-Lasersystem aufnehmen.\n\nSchiff zu Schiff T\u00fcrme sind eine viel m\u00e4chtigere Angelegenheit, die entwickelt wurde, um durch die Schilde und den Rumpf anderer gro\u00dfer Raumschiffe zu schlagen. Obwohl ihnen die schnelle Reaktionszeit von ASA-T\u00fcrmen fehlt und sie daher im Allgemeinen nicht f\u00fcr die Flakabdeckung geeignet sind, sorgen ihre h\u00f6herwertigen Waffen daf\u00fcr, dass jeder Treffer gegen einen J\u00e4ger oder Bomber wahrscheinlich t\u00f6dlich ist. Wie ihre kleineren Cousins sind die STS-T\u00fcrme modular aufgebaut und k\u00f6nnen mit einer Vielzahl von Einzelkanonen ausgestattet werden. So montiert die Korvette Idris-M beispielsweise einen Mittellinien-STS-Stinger-Turm mit einer Behring M5C-Laserkanone. Das Arbeitspferd der Marine, der Javelin-Zerst\u00f6rer, montiert ein Paar Behring M6A-Laserkanonen auf STS-T\u00fcrmen.\n\nW\u00e4hrend der Konzern f\u00fcr die Herstellung, die Antimaterieausbeute und andere wichtige Prozesse bei der Turmentwicklung verantwortlich ist, ist der wahrscheinlich bedeutendste Fortschritt, der ihnen zugeschrieben wird, die Entwicklung der Schildzwischenphasen-Kits, die heute bei allen Revolvern Standard sind. Vor dem 28. Jahrhundert wurde es f\u00fcr unm\u00f6glich gehalten, ein Schildsystem zu entwerfen, das mit einem rotierenden Turm funktionieren konnte; wo fr\u00fche Schilde mit \"toten Winkeln\" entworfen wurden, die es festen Kanonen erm\u00f6glichen konnten, aus einem bestimmten harten Punkt heraus zu schie\u00dfen, fehlte ihnen die F\u00e4higkeit, dasselbe mit einer Waffe zu tun, deren Position vor dem Schie\u00dfen nicht vorherzusagen war. Gro\u00dfschiffe fr\u00fcherer Zeiten m\u00fcssten ihre Schilde vor dem Schie\u00dfen vollst\u00e4ndig fallen lassen, was die Bewaffnung mit Anti-Raumschiffwaffen unpraktisch machte. Mit den Interphasen-Kits von BAT kann fast alles aus einem Standardschild herausgeschossen werden.\n\nSchienenpistolen\nWas w\u00fcrdest du tun, wenn du die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Waffe der Galaxie h\u00e4ttest? BAT bietet die M\u00f6glichkeit, diese Frage in Form seines massiven 130 mm \"Ship Buster\" Rail Gun Systems zu beantworten. Ein einzelner Schiffsbrecher bildet die Kielhalterung des bengalischen Tr\u00e4gers, w\u00e4hrend eine Reihe von Waffen die Kampfkraft der Vergeltungsklasse bildet. Diese Eisenbahngesch\u00fctze verwenden die gleichen Technologien wie Standard-Kampfj\u00e4ger-basierte Massenfahrer, die in gro\u00dfem Umfang als unm\u00f6glich erachtet wurden. Serien von Tausenden und Abertausenden von geladenen Elektromagneten erzeugen die Energie, die ben\u00f6tigt wird, um die 130 mm Kugeln zu werfen.\n\nBlack Ops\nEs scheint unbestreitbar, dass BAT stark in die Forschung von Black Ops involviert ist. Die j\u00fcngsten Fortschritte in den Bereichen Fernerkundung, automatisierte Tarnung und gelenkige Triebwerkstechnologien sind wahrscheinlich aus den streng geheimen Labors von Behring hervorgegangen. Obwohl dies nie offiziell best\u00e4tigt wird, k\u00f6nnten die Billionen von UEC, die sich in die Forschungsbem\u00fchungen innerhalb von Vili's Kern einschlichen, die Gro\u00dfkaliberlaser der stehenden Marine um ein Dutzend Mal nachr\u00fcsten. Schrecklichere Ger\u00fcchte deuten darauf hin, dass BAT f\u00fcr die biologische Kriegsf\u00fchrung verantwortlich ist. Es gibt eindeutige Beweise daf\u00fcr, dass eine Reihe von bedeutenden Xenobiologen \"grau geworden\" sind und im Black-Ops-Fl\u00fcgel des Milit\u00e4rs verschwanden. Ob die Randbemerkungen zutreffend sind oder nicht, dass sie an der Vivisektion von Vanduul-Kriegsgefangenen teilnehmen, ist weniger klar.","zh_CN":"The Behring Applied Technology division stands in an interesting place: while its existence may have been one of the worst kept secrets in the galaxy, its overall reach and impact on military (and spin-off) technologies may never be truly known.
