Mobile Holo-Emitter Deployment Unit

Name: HELIOS Pack (Holographic Emitter & Localized Immersive Operational System)


Form Factor:

  • Appearance: Trolley-style hard case, metallic alloy with retractable chassis and ruggedized plating. Starfleet Intelligence variant includes minimal Starfleet markings, potentially Orion Syndicate or civilian freighter camouflage.
  • Mobility: Handle, hover-assist lift, rugged terrain wheels. Can be deployed by a single operative or drone.

Core Systems:

  • Emitter Pole: Telescopic, adjustable from 0.5m to 5m. Auto-sensing ceiling constraints; will auto-limit to available vertical space.
  • Emitter Nodes: Arrayed in circular (default) or square (constrained) layout via smart-segment reallocation. Utilizes high-fidelity microprojectors with adaptive graviton fields and holo-integrity scaffolding.
  • Core Processor: Integrated compact quantum core with neural-dynamic response engine. Tier 3 adaptive holomatrix rendering.
  • Power Source: Miniaturized fusion core with 6-hour operational time per full charge. Has auxiliary EPS tap capability.
  • Stabilization: Deployment requires hard-surface anchoring. Anti-jitter legs engage on uneven or sloped terrain. Magnetic clamp for deckplating.
  • Environment Detection: Automatic terrain scanning and architecture mapping. Adjusts projection radius dynamically: max 5m spherical or 4m square depending on room geometry and obstructions.

Operational Use-Cases:

  • Tactical infiltration (disguised environmental illusions)
  • Rapid medical simulation or triage support
  • AI projection (Nyx-class entities with local autonomy)
  • Decoy or diplomatic interface system (reconstruct high-status environments or personalities)
  • Espionage (simulate crew presence, fool motion sensors or enemy surveillance)

Limitations:

  • Cannot operate in unstable gravitational fields without anchoring.
  • Vulnerable to wideband EM disruption (Theta-band suppression).
  • Projection limited to local zone only—no remote holographic relay unless coupled with shipboard uplink.
  • Subject to overload if simultaneously running full-environment simulation and active AI projection.

Lore Integration:

  • Designed by Starfleet, later leaked to certain Maquis and Orion black labs.
  • One prototype is carried aboard the USS Heimdahl for off-grid operations, designated “Lance Echo.”

Field-ready. Covert. Adaptive. The HELIOS Pack doesn't simulate presence—it is presence.

Gameplay Mechanics (STA 2e – Simplified):

  • Deployment Task: Control + Engineering, Difficulty 2 (Anchoring), Difficulty 3 (Uneven Terrain)
  • Operational Task (AI Upload or Tactical Use): Reason + Science or Insight + Command, based on scenario.
  • Effect Trait: “Holographic Presence Field” — allows AI interaction, illusion projection, or environment masking within defined radius.
  • Complications: Malfunction, Power Fluctuation, Identity Echo, Unexpected AI Fragment
