PROJECT-X
GYPSY SHIPS
(PXR5.1) GYPSY MERCHANT CRUISER (MCA):
The Gypsy Merchant Cruiser was the standard trading vessel during the First Era. Because the Gypsies were primarily interested in trading and peaceful relations with all species, the Gypsy Merchant Cruiser was not armed. Gypsy Merchant Cruisers roamed all of Project-X, reaching the farthest corners, selling their wares and spreading common technology to distant empires that normally would not have access to it.
The Republic discovered the Redundant Systems used by the Gypsies, which kept their systems running on their long journeys from star system to star system. After establishing a trade agreement with the Gypsies, the Republic began a massive research and development project to introduce Redundant Systems into Republic starships.
The research was time-consuming and arduous. But in the end, the Republic was successful, creating working Redundant Systems based on technological concepts from the Gypsies.
The Republic would later discover that, while they had been pushing their own Redundant System research, the Regime had been doing the exact same thing. Both the Republic and the Regime began employing Redundant Systems on their starships at roughly the same point in history.
REDUNDANT SYSTEMS
1) Redundant Systems are marked off before the actual system when the system is destroyed by an Internal on the DAC.
2) If a system is destroyed by an Internal on the DAC and it does not have a Redundant System, then mark off the system per the standard process.
