Overview
Projet Theta attempts to create new Capsuleer technology by studying Rogue Drone materials. This includes ships, AI-cores, modules and rigs. Project Theta does not intend to create destructive technology, but rather a set base for future inventions. The goals of the Project will be fulfilled by studying known Rogue Drone technology and finding new unknown ones, and reverse-engineering them. A special interest of the project are Spatial Rifts, and the forces that operate them.
Research Devices Being Developed
Comm Override Unit
This planned device is intended to act as a safe communications medium between humans and rogue drones. It has the needed logic to encode sent and decode received the messages on the fly. It will flush it's log buffer to the nearby portable database, logging both incoming and outgoing transmissions as plain text. This item must be fit to a ship. Estimations indicate it will need a medium-power output connection, and draw around forty megawatts after activation. The activation cost is estimated to be around twenty gigajoules. Estimated volume is ten cubic meters.
Material list so far determined: 220 Drone capillary fluid, 200 drone synaptic relay wiring, 15 drone cerebral fragment, 2 drone coronary unit, 15 drone transceiver, 95 logic circuits, 1 Artificial Neural Network, 215 micro circuits, 5 power circuits and conduits, 1,680 tritanium, 2,000 pyerite, 3 binary transpositional code, 125 mexallon, 1 proprietary network link
Portable Database
This is a planned back-end unit meant soley for intermediary data storage. It is accessed remotely by the station-side unit for analysis, and by the comm override unit as a secondary storage medium. This item needs to be fit to a ship. Estimations indicate it will need a high-power output connection, and draw around eighty-eight megawatts after coming online. Estimated volume is two hundred cubic meters.
Material list so far determined: 300 Drone capillary fluid, 280 drone synaptic relay wiring, 30 drone cerebral fragment, 3 drone coronary unit, 30 drone transceiver, 125 logic circuits, 310 micro circuits, 8 power circuits and conduits, 6 consumer electronics, 2,850 tritanium, 3,000 pyerite, 500 mexallon, 5 proprietary network link
Station-side System Core
This unit, while "portable" is meant to operate from within a station. It will read and pull data from the portable databases for processing. It also functions as a comm override unit. Estimated volume is thrity cubic kilometers. This system is the heart of the isolated comm system. It should be noted that we may need CONCORD approval to activate this device within Empire, Republic, State, and Federation space.
Material list so far determined: 350 Drone capillary fluid, 310 drone synaptic relay wiring, 55 drone cerebral fragment, 10 drone coronary unit, 55 drone transceiver, 350 logic circuits, 13 ANNs, 575 micro circuits, 15 power circuits and conduits, 17 corporate electronics, 159,000 tritanium, 375,000 pyerite, 15,000 mexallon, 15 proprietary network link
Intermediary Construction Hardware in Development
Proprietary Network Link
This presently unnamed device is based off of the Aether hive link.
Material list: currently unknown

Applied Rogue Drone technology so far
'Integrated' Drones: These drones have so many Rogue Drone components in them that they begin to resemble almost the Rogue Drones themselves. They have better firepower and armor than the average drones.
'Augmented' Drones: These are like Integrated drones, only they have much more rogue drone parts in them.
