This is a formal request to the New Republic High Command. I wish to appropriate funding for a military satellite project. Research was started a month ago (OOC), and several billion credits are needed to finalize the research and build a prototype of both new satellites.
The first is the MGC-902NR Osprey Satellite. It is a highly advanced orbital surveillance system, which is both effective through cloudy and stormy weather systems. The satellite can track and view individuals and even lace them for further tracking by planetary means.
The second is the more controversal DR-23NR Disruptor Satellite. This was originally a project under TSE, though it never even got close to starting before my defection. Any records of it were erased, as it was not well known at the time. The DR-23NR works on the principles of the Mag Pulse warhead, that specific systems on a ship can be disabled. But, instead of targeting weapons systems, the DR-23NR disables repulsorlifts, the system which is used for takeoffs and landings of ships, and some ground vehicles, including hovertanks and speeder bikes. Upon triggering, the satellite fires an energy beam that completely hinders any repulsorlift technology on the ground within twenty kilometers of the target area, or less if programmed. The effect would be more efficient closer to the center of the zone. This device would allow for easier capturing of enemy bases, and safer transport onto planet, without worry of enemy fighters in the area intercepting. Also, it would be useful in stopping evacuations and taking prisoners for interrogation. The satellite, however, would use up so much energy at a time that it would need almost an hour to recharge for a five klick blast, and more to fully recharge.
