Odin. Charon. Baker. These systems, far from Earth or the UEE\u2019s military research and development framework, don\u2019t seem like the kind of systems that would gain a reputation for high end aerospace equipment. But that\u2019s exactly what has happened in the case of GNP.Seeking to stand out in the crowded field of ship manufacturers and to compete with the more developed \u201chomeworlds,\u201d the governments of these four systems banded together to subsidize the creation of GNP, an entirely new kind of company.\n\nThe basis for GNP\u2019s corporate structure was the Tangaroa (Helios II) based FarSeer Corporation. FarSeer was incorporated in 2908 and developed high end sensor suites for almost thirty years.Despite the acknowledged quality of their goods, FarSeer could not navigate the aerospace recession of the late twenties, and the company\u2019s assets were turned over to the Helosian government for dispersal. Rather than sell off FarSeer to the lowest bidder, officials maintained the corporation using tax dollars as they developed their crosscolonial alliance plan. The former FarSeer\u2019s corporate infrastructure was soon joined by government repossessed engine labs in the Odin System, a series of refineries and factories in Charon and a massive influx of UEC from Baker\u2019s unique spoils system.\n\nThe most startling thing about the company is that it entirely avoids the single most profitable segment of starship R&D: direct application weapons. Where companies like Behring and MaxOx are making trillions selling consumer grade lasers and missiles, GNP\u2019s charter strictly forbids putting armament in the hands of civilians (and similarly shies away from developing such tools for governments).Instead, the company\u2019s output is focused entirely on essential high grade equipment that most users don\u2019t generally consider when outfitting spacecraft in their heads: sensors, engines, navigation markers, piping control surfaces, software and the like.\n\nSensors\nGNP\u2019s first triumph was the adoption of their V601-11 RADAR by the UEE Navy.The V601-11, a high resolution multisync radar system capable of independently tracking dozens of items and interfacing with hundreds of ship sub systems, now forms the basis of the Navy\u2019s signature \u2018top gun\u2019 F7A Hornet fighters. The Hornet contract, which most expected to go to AllTell or Skanix, changed everything for GNP and shocked the aerospace industry\u2019s foundations.\n\nThe contract was just the first punch, though. The sheer superiority of the system was immediately made clear, and other manufacturers began licensing or cloning the V601.GNP made billions of credits, 100% of which was funneled back into development and manufacturing. While other companies have released similar grades of radar in recent years, the modularity and the customizability of the V601 has left it with the lion\u2019s share of sensor suite integration coverage.\n\nTrue to their word, there is absolutely no difference between the civilian and the milspec version of the V601-11; the same rugged technology and software used to fly the F7A Hornet is available standard (or as an upgrade) on a variety of civilian ships (including most notably the MISC Freelancer line, which actually adopted the system before it had become a navy supported industry standard).\n\nThe V601-11 system is more than just physical scanners; it\u2019s a whole spacecraft solution which includes both physical modules and the Heads Up Display.Developed by a software team that included some of the galaxy\u2019s most advanced interface designers, the V601-11\u2019s HUD is a thing of beauty. Integrated directly with a pilot\u2019s helmet display, subdued colors provide a massive amount of flight information without being distracting.The HUD layout is reactive, with the computational power to predict and arrange information as needed; it may display targeting data one moment and then navcom range finding data another.Furthermore, the standard GNP HUD is now familiar to millions of non pilots, as it was used in Original System\u2019s Arena Commander game.Fearful that the HUD would become commonplace public domain, GNP insisted that Original license the design from them rather than simply reproducing it themselves (the licensing fee was a single UEC).\n\nEngines\nIf the V601-11 birthed GNP, then the Tonnerre line of engines is what secured its positioning as a diversified, broad spectrum aerospace corporation. Tested on Odin under extreme deep space conditions and produced on Charon, the Tonnerre represents an interesting way at targeting the starship engine market. Previous companies have always attempted to make a name for their engines by addressing the single most PR friendly role: fast ships. What GNP realized is that while other companies were climbing over one another for the ORIGIN 350R or the Anvil Super Hornet slot, there was little competition (or even quality) being directed towards larger transport ships.\n\nDesign teams set out to create a range of high durability fission engines powered by liquid fluoride thorium reactors, focusing only on this larger ship technology rather than something that could be adapted for starfighters and snubs. From this was born a line of truly high quality engines designed with the user in mind. Tonnerre brand engines are easy to repair and maintain, with a common core of parts that can be easily changed (in many cases during flight).The resulting complete Tonnerre line, currently produced in nine separate models, was designed from Day One to replace the aging engines found on MISC\u2019s Freelancer and Starfarer chassis lines.The gambit worked exactly as intended: MISC adopted the GNP Tonnerre-00 for their all duty Freelancer model and the GNP Typhon-00 for the massive Starfarer.\n\nThere are three lines of GNP Tonnerre engines, each with three different sizes. The smallest, designed for the Freelancer, is the Tonnerre (Tonnerre-00, -55 and -77).The second range, Super Tonnerre, has not yet been adopted by a manufacturer, although corporate rumors suggest Aegis is in talks for the new advanced civilian model of the Retaliator. The massive Typhons, designed for the Starfarer tankers and larger transport ships, complete the range. MISC\u2019s happiness with the line to date suggests that the biggest of these engines, the Typhon-77, may be mounted on the Hull C as soon as next year. Because liquid fluoride thorium reactors can theoretically increase in size endlessly, it is also likely that GNP will unveil even bigger engines for true capital ships within the next five years.","de_DE":"Helios. Odin. Charon. B\u00e4cker. Diese Systeme, weit weg von der Erde oder dem milit\u00e4rischen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsrahmen der UEE, scheinen nicht die Art von Systemen zu sein, die sich einen Namen f\u00fcr High-End-Luft- und Raumfahrtausr\u00fcstung machen w\u00fcrden. Um sich im \u00fcberf\u00fcllten Feld der Schiffshersteller hervorzuheben und mit den entwickelteren \"Heimatwelten\" zu konkurrieren, haben sich die Regierungen dieser vier Systeme zusammengeschlossen, um die Gr\u00fcndung des GNP, einer v\u00f6llig neuen Art von Unternehmen, zu f\u00f6rdern.\n\nDie Grundlage f\u00fcr die Unternehmensstruktur von GNP war die in Tangaroa (Helios II) ans\u00e4ssige FarSeer Corporation. Trotz der anerkannten Qualit\u00e4t ihrer Produkte konnte FarSeer die Rezession in der Luft- und Raumfahrt Ende der zwanziger Jahre nicht \u00fcberstehen, und die Verm\u00f6genswerte des Unternehmens wurden an die Helosianische Regierung zur Verteilung \u00fcbergeben. Anstatt FarSeer an den niedrigsten Bieter zu verkaufen, hielten die Beamten die Gesellschaft mit Steuergeldern aufrecht, als sie ihren Plan f\u00fcr eine koloniale Allianz entwickelten. Die Unternehmensinfrastruktur des ehemaligen FarSeer wurde bald durch die von der Regierung wieder in Besitz genommenen Motorenlabore im Odin-System, eine Reihe von Raffinerien und Fabriken in Charon und einen massiven Zustrom von UEC aus Bakers einzigartigem Beutelsystem erg\u00e4nzt.\n\nDas Aufregendste an dem Unternehmen ist, dass es das einzelne, profitabelste Segment der Raumschiff-Forschung vollst\u00e4ndig vermeidet: die direkten Anwendungswaffen. Wo Unternehmen wie Behring und MaxOx Billionen Menschen mit verbrauchertauglichen Lasern und Raketen verkaufen, verbietet die GNP-Charta strengstens, die Bewaffnung in die H\u00e4nde von Zivilisten zu legen (und ebenso wenig die Entwicklung solcher Werkzeuge f\u00fcr Regierungen), sondern konzentriert sich die Produktion des Unternehmens ausschlie\u00dflich auf wesentliche hochwertige Ger\u00e4te, die die meisten Nutzer bei der Ausr\u00fcstung von Raumfahrzeugen im Kopf nicht ber\u00fccksichtigen: Sensoren, Motoren, Navigationsmarker, Rohrleitungssteuerfl\u00e4chen, Software und dergleichen.\n\nSensoren\nDer erste Triumph von GNP war die Einf\u00fchrung des V601-11 RADAR durch die UEE Navy: Das V601-11, ein hochaufl\u00f6sendes Multisync-Radarsystem, das in der Lage ist, Dutzende von Gegenst\u00e4nden unabh\u00e4ngig zu verfolgen und sich mit Hunderten von Schiffssubsystemen zu verbinden, bildet nun die Grundlage f\u00fcr die Unterschrift der Marine unter die \"Top Gun\" F7A Hornet J\u00e4ger. Der Hornet-Vertrag, der am ehesten an AllTell oder Skanix gehen sollte, \u00e4nderte alles f\u00fcr das BSP und schockierte die Fundamente der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie.\n\nDer Vertrag war jedoch nur der erste Schlag. Die schiere \u00dcberlegenheit des Systems wurde sofort deutlich, und andere Hersteller begannen mit der Lizenzierung oder dem Klonen der V601.GNP, die Milliarden von Credits einbrachte, von denen 100% in die Entwicklung und Fertigung zur\u00fcckflossen. W\u00e4hrend andere Unternehmen in den letzten Jahren \u00e4hnliche Radartypen auf den Markt gebracht haben, hat die Modularit\u00e4t und Anpassbarkeit des V601 den L\u00f6wenanteil der Integration von Sensor-Suiten \u00fcbernommen.\n\nGetreu ihrem Wort gibt es absolut keinen Unterschied zwischen der zivilen und der milspec-Version der V601-11; die gleiche robuste Technologie und Software, mit der die F7A Hornet geflogen wird, ist auf einer Vielzahl von zivilen Schiffen (einschlie\u00dflich vor allem der MISC Freelancer-Linie, die das System tats\u00e4chlich \u00fcbernommen hat, bevor es zu einem marinegest\u00fctzten Industriestandard geworden ist) standardm\u00e4\u00dfig verf\u00fcgbar (oder als Upgrade).\n\nDas V601-11 System ist mehr als nur ein physischer Scanner; es ist eine komplette Raumfahrzeugl\u00f6sung, die sowohl physische Module als auch das Heads Up Display beinhaltet. Entwickelt von einem Software-Team, das einige der fortschrittlichsten Interface-Designer der Galaxie umfasste, ist das HUD des V601-11 eine Sch\u00f6nheit. Das HUD-Layout ist reaktiv, mit der Rechenleistung, Informationen nach Bedarf vorherzusagen und anzuordnen; es kann Targeting-Daten einen Moment lang anzeigen und dann Navcom-Reichweiten finden, die Daten eines anderen.Dar\u00fcber hinaus ist das Standard-GNP-HUD inzwischen Millionen von Nicht-Piloten bekannt, wie es im Arena Commander-Spiel von Original System verwendet wurde. Aus Angst, dass das HUD allgemein bekannt wird, bestand GNP darauf, dass Original das Design von ihnen lizenziert und nicht nur selbst reproduziert (die Lizenzgeb\u00fchr war eine einzige UEC).\n\nMotoren\nWenn die V601-11 das BSP brachte, dann ist es die Tonnerre-Triebwerkslinie, die ihre Positionierung als diversifizierter, breit gef\u00e4cherter Luft- und Raumfahrtkonzern sicherte. Die Tonnerre wurde auf Odin unter extremen Weltraumbedingungen getestet und auf Charon produziert und stellt eine interessante M\u00f6glichkeit dar, den Markt f\u00fcr Raumschiffmotoren anzusprechen. Fr\u00fchere Unternehmen haben immer versucht, sich einen Namen f\u00fcr ihre Motoren zu machen, indem sie die einzige PR-freundlichste Rolle \u00fcbernommen haben: schnelle Schiffe. Was GNP erkannte, war, dass w\u00e4hrend andere Unternehmen f\u00fcr die ORIGIN 350R oder den Anvil Super Hornet Slot \u00fcbereinander kletterten, es wenig Wettbewerb (oder gar Qualit\u00e4t) gab, der sich auf gr\u00f6\u00dfere Transportschiffe richtete.\n\nDie Entwicklungsteams machten sich auf den Weg, eine Reihe von hochbelastbaren Spalttriebwerken zu entwickeln, die von Fl\u00fcssigfluorid-Thoriumreaktoren angetrieben werden, die sich nur auf diese gr\u00f6\u00dfere Schiffstechnologie konzentrieren und nicht auf etwas, das f\u00fcr Sternenk\u00e4mpfer und Br\u00fcskierungen angepasst werden k\u00f6nnte. Daraus entstand eine Reihe von wirklich hochwertigen Motoren, die speziell f\u00fcr den Anwender entwickelt wurden. Die daraus resultierende komplette Tonnerre-Linie, die derzeit in neun verschiedenen Modellen produziert wird, wurde vom ersten Tag an so konzipiert, dass sie die alternden Motoren der MISC-Chassislinien Freelancer und Starfarer ersetzt: MISC hat das GNP Tonnerre-00 f\u00fcr ihr Freelancer-Modell und das GNP Typhon-00 f\u00fcr den massiven Starfarer \u00fcbernommen.\n\nEs gibt drei Linien von GNP-Tonnerre-Motoren mit jeweils drei verschiedenen Gr\u00f6\u00dfen. Die kleinste, f\u00fcr den Freelancer entwickelte, ist die Tonnerre (Tonnerre-00, -55 und -77), die zweite Serie, Super Tonnerre, wurde noch nicht von einem Hersteller \u00fcbernommen, obwohl Firmenger\u00fcchte vermuten lassen, dass Aegis sich in Gespr\u00e4chen f\u00fcr das neue fortschrittliche zivile Modell des Vergelters befindet. Die massiven Typhons, die f\u00fcr die Starfarer-Tanker und gr\u00f6\u00dfere Transportschiffe konzipiert wurden, runden das Angebot ab. Die Zufriedenheit von MISC mit der bisherigen Linie deutet darauf hin, dass der gr\u00f6\u00dfte dieser Motoren, der Typhon-77, bereits im n\u00e4chsten Jahr auf dem Rumpf C montiert werden kann. Da Fl\u00fcssigfluorid-Thoriumreaktoren theoretisch endlos an Gr\u00f6\u00dfe gewinnen k\u00f6nnen, ist es auch wahrscheinlich, dass GNP innerhalb der n\u00e4chsten f\u00fcnf Jahre noch gr\u00f6\u00dfere Motoren f\u00fcr echte Gro\u00dfschiffe enth\u00fcllen wird.","zh_CN":"Helios.
