The Virtual Reality Sleep Device is a means for Starships such as fighters or other kinds of ships that don't have the means to allow the Pilots to rest and sleep to do so.
| Name: | Virtual Reality Sleep Device |
| Designers: | Sachiko Therwood |
| Manufacturer: | given to UNS_fleet_yards to aid in distributing early on [NDC Department of Engineering] for the New Dusk Conclave side of manufacturing. |
| Role: | hopefully new standard in certain starship classes |
The Virtual Reality Sleep Device is a physical construct, as well as a software program. That was created after a tinkering session of its creator Sachiko. The software programming was set up as an extra app in the Pilot’s helmet. The Helmet itself will need to be remade to facilitate the program effects. Though It is compatible with the NDC’s geist and can use that. What the program does is it sends a special bioelectric signal into the user’s visual cortex as well as the part of the brain that controls their movement. This renders the body in an almost paralytic state, which was in hopes to keep themselves in a safe state, and prevent them from hurting anyone else while under the effects. As a result of the impulses to the visual cortex of the brain, the user is placed in a state of hallucination, where they can perceive themselves moving their limbs and themselves so that they can get comfortable enough to get to sleep. The user perceives their seat lowering and depending on what ship the wearer is using with this piece of technology things will change. For Manufacturing purposes, the United Alliance of Neutral Systems and the New Dusk Conclave have both purchased Manufacturing rights to the product from SachiTech, and have used their own facilities to manufacture them.
Cost: 500 however, with the discount United Alliance of Neutral System will be able to pay just 100UCs while NDC can pay 200DS
Fail-safes in the programming meant that if they activate it without trying to go to sleep, the program will force itself to deactivate, and bring them out of the state they were previously in.
The likely risks of using this piece of technology are in a bootlegged version, specifically ones created by pirates, which can have faulty programming. Another problem lies in the fact that the programming relies on a computer and ship's sensors if the ship does not sense the attack coming, it won't bring the user to full wakefulness which leaves them vulnerable.
If the user is sitting in some kind of Fighter class Starship, then the area behind the seat opens up, as the seat is lowered and it begins placing the user into what the wearer perceives is one of those pods as seen in Pod Hotels, where they can adjust the pod to suit their desires. In this way, they will be able to gain rest and sleep when they weren't able to do so. If they were on a stakeout type mission or where they have to wait for someone to appear in space, the alert system will wake them up, and deactivate the illusion, bringing them back in the ship they were sitting in.
Depending on the room of the transport, the user's perception will see the area expand somewhat to make room as the seat they were sitting on lower and flatten itself much like the Fighter setting, however it doesn't slip into anything, instead around them the environment darkens and the temperature changes depending on their physiology and the setting from the volumetrics that appeared on an arm rest beside them. If there wasn't an arm rest, one will also appear.
