'Swarm' Multiple Pacifier Ship

MPSI

A highly specialised military Starship that mounts up to 72 Pacifiers (18 flights) in 'one-shot' single launch containers.

In battle it has a number of major disadvantages:

  • The high logistics support requirement each MPSI requiring an attached LSSI to maintain the pacifiers and their crews.
  • Vulnerability to countermeasures such as missiles or pacifier strikes
  • The large number of one-shots cannot be launched simultaneously without a high risk of collisions.


These disadvantages made this an unpopular oddity in some fleets during the 3050s.

In recent years the MPSI has become more popular as a means to re-load Carrier fleet pacifier complements - allowing longer engagements.
