History
In the year 2387, amidst the high-stakes environment of Operation Flintlock, the NVV Duzitzapa faced an unprecedented threat that jeopardized its critical mission: an infestation of the voracious Aloftex Arachnids. It was within this context of urgency and necessity that the genesis of the "Deamhain Aeir" took place, a creation spearheaded by the distinguished engineer Itza.
The journey of the "Deamhain Aeir" began with the adaptation of the SSR (Sputnik Service Robot), a versatile utility device originally designed for maintenance and service tasks aboard spacecraft. Itza, recognizing the potential for a more aggressive application, ingeniously modified the SSR to incorporate neutrino pulse technology. This initial modification utilized a modified phaser crystal, enabling the SSR to emit concentrated neutrino pulses specifically calibrated to target the biological vulnerabilities of the Aloftex Arachnids.
The effectiveness of this innovative solution did not go unnoticed. The modified SSR units, now functioning as proto-"Deamhain Aeir," were swiftly distributed throughout the fleet, providing a much-needed edge against the arachnid infestations plaguing other ships. However, the evolution of these devices did not stop there. In pursuit of enhanced efficiency and power, the neutrino pulses were eventually supplanted by nadion pulse emitters. This transition marked a significant leap in the weaponry's capabilities, as the nadion pulse emitters, benefitting from the unique design of the "Deamhain Aeir," could operate at power levels unprecedented for devices of their size and class.
Mirroring the operational principles of the Mark 1 Active Repair System, the "Deamhain Aeir" were engineered to function in swarms, governed by a central directive yet capable of remarkable autonomy. This design philosophy allowed for a highly adaptive and responsive weapon system, able to execute complex tactical maneuvers and engage threats with unparalleled coordination. The autonomy of each unit within the swarm ensured operational resilience, allowing the "Deamhain Aeir" to continue their mission even in the event of directive communication breakdowns.
