The Inertia Store Converter (ISC) is a technological system that reduces the forces of gravitational acceleration (G) that a Variable Fighter and its pilot experience. It is also known as an Inertia Buffer
Description & Characteristics[]
The Inertia Store Converter, ISC or otherwise known as an inertia buffer, is a device or system that links to a Variable Fighters EX-Gear to ease and reduce the forces of gravitational acceleration (G-Forces) that a high-output Variable Fighter and its pilot suffer during combat maneuvers.
The ISC works essentially by temporary converting and storing excess inertia or g-forces, which exceed the limits of the pilot's body and the Variable Fighter's airframe, into dimensional distortion field energy. The ISC slowly returns the inertia/g-forces over time thus reducing the strain experienced by both the pilot and the Variable Fighter.
As the limiting factor of acceleration is less of an issue, this allows a human pilot to at last realize the full potential of their variable fighter, beyond the normal limits of manned combat maneuvering.
History[]
As Variable Fighters become faster and more powerful they and their pilots experience greater amounts gravitational acceleration when performing combat maneuvers, This puts a great strain on the pilot and airframe of the Variable Fighter, a major hazard for the health and integrity of both. To solve this problem, the YF-24 Evolution was created with the ISC; as Variable Fighters derived from the YF-24, the VF-25 Messiah and the VF-27 Lucifer also make use of the ISC.
Notes & Trivia[]
- The Inertia Store Converter could be related to the Inertia Vector Control system used by the Queadluun-Rau and Queadluun-Rhea.
