Study of Hyperdiction Statistics

1. Introduction Ever since the Thargoids made their return known in human space in late 3303, commanders have been interdicted directly out of hyperspace by Thargoid Interceptors, a phenomenon that has been called a Hyperdiction by the galactic community [1].  These so-called Hyperdictions have primarily happened in the Pleiades, but over the course of time…

Spectral Class Distribution of Galactic Phenomena

We are proud to host CMDR Urania Minora's study of the Spectral Class Distribution of Galactic Phenomena, which aims to bring an understanding of the relationship between the Harvard Stellar Classification of a primary star, and what phenomena may be discovered in a system, as a help to guide exploration efforts. The research paper examines the specifics for phenomena of specific interest to Canonn scientists establishing potential patterns and biases from a detailed analysis of available data from 3.28×10^7 known explored systems

Thargoid Interceptor Hull Analysis

person Maligno
1. Introduction Some time ago it was discovered that is is possible to repair Thargoid ships with human repair limpets [1].  The discovery opened up the possibility of measuring the properties of Thargoid Interceptor hulls, namely total integrity and Armor Rating.  Recent understanding of Anti-Xeno (AX) weapon damage partitions [2] also complements this study well…

Advanced Multi-Cannon Analysis

1. Introduction The galactic community recently decided to support Zende Partners in the development of an Advanced Multi-Cannon (AMC) weapon [1].  Given the usual lack of transparency in weapon documentation, the goal of this study was to characterize the Anti-Xeno (AX) properties of this newly developed module.  Additionally, after the basic AX damage properties of…

SLF Damage Partition Analysis

person Maligno
1. Executive Summary The focus of this study is the detailed analysis of Ship Launched Fighter (SLF) damage partitions, namely the analysis of damage characteristics of Anti-Xeno (AX) fighters.  This study draws on the analysis of AX weapon damage partitions that was recently conducted [1].  The table below summarizes the damage partitions of the four…

AX Weapon Damage Partitions

person Maligno
1. Introduction There has been recent success in using rigorous mathematical techniques to accurately estimate the damage partitioning of human weapons, such as Plasma Accelerators and Railguns [1].  Information from the weapon damage partitioning study and similar mathematical techniques were leveraged to get accurate estimates of the Thargoid Interceptor shield characteristics, such as initial strength…

Thargoid Interceptor Shield Analysis

person Maligno
1. Introduction The subject of this article is the accurate estimation of Thargoid Interceptor shield strength.  An initial analysis was carried out to estimate these values and is referenced here in its entirety [1].  Given the success of the mathematical techniques used to accurately estimate the damage partitioning in human weapons such as Plasma Accelerators…

Weapon Damage Partition Analysis

1. Executive Summary The partition of the different types of damage (i.e. thermal, kinetic, absolute) has been determined for Railguns, Incendiary Multi-Cannons, High Yield Shell Cannons, Overload Munitions Seeker Missiles, Inertial Impact Burst Lasers, and Plasma Accelerators.  The results are summarized in the table below. The community has long suspected that Railguns have a damage…

A study into target selection in the Thargoid attacks of 3305

person factabulous
turned_in_not ,
This research paper by Redden Alt-Mer and factabulous looks at the thorny issue of how the Thargoids are selecting their targets for attack. In 3305 this has been more difficult as there is greater diversity in the selected systems, and has broken assumptions made in earlier times. The paper puts forward the theory that the…
