Temple of knowledge “Infinite-valued Logic”

Space 5, Power 5, Archeotech, Mechanicus Temple of Knowledge, near unique

Located: Large asteroid habitat Sphaera Imperator

This Temple is a fantastic piece of archeotech and engineering, kept lovingly updated by some of the most powerful members of the Mechanicus, placing what would normally be many more components, usually spread throughout a fleet in anything other than an Ark Mechanicus, so that a single ship can usefully do a myriad tasks befitting exploration and the obtaining of knowledge.

  • A Shrine of the Motive Force in its guise of the guiding light of human knowledge, or as his incarnation as the Omnissiah appropriate individuals towards tasks of learning and discovery for the greater humanity.
  • Librarium where, rather than being stocked mainly with books and scrolls, writings can be etched microscopically onto durable disks of sapphire or diamantine for later storage and retrieval, including facilities necessary to transfer traditional media onto this method.
  • Laboratorium, where small artefacts can be studied.
  • A small-batch rapid prototyping Manufactorum, with the curious, lost-to-time name of a ‘Skunkworks’.
  • A small research Hospital where humans can be treated or ailments investigated or upgrades installed to the flesh.

Some of the capabilities are less compared to their larger, dedicated equivalents, but the sheer usefulness more than make up for it.
+10 bonus to crafting or repair checks of small items or small batches of items, including via Trade checks, as well as medicae tests, all non forbidden lore investigation tests, as well as forbidden lore archeotech, and, at GM’s discretion, any forbidden lores directly associated with sanctioned Imperial technology, like Mechanicum, Astartes, Ecclessiarchy, or Inquisition (when dealing with Mechanicum/Space Marine/Sororitas/Inquisitorial technology, for example).
Further, at GM discretion, sometimes extended actions such as Triage may work for more crew than otherwise when making use of this component, and other similar benefits.
Counts as having Good Quality Superior Damage Control for this component only, even if that component and upgrade are not otherwise on the ship.

History:

Unknown date: Archeotech vault is built during the Dark Age of Technology at the archeotech vault ?? Gravis Major.

819.M41: Specialist Gödel dismantled the last remaining temple of knowledge at Gravis Major from Archeotech vault ?? and moves it to Sphaera Imperator.

Data stored to the tech-shrine:

816.M41

  • Canor Sol core logs and power distribution
  • Sphaera Imperator core logs and power distribution
  • Bastion of Saint Drusus core logs and power distribution
  • Gravis Minor planetary survey data

817.M41

  • Avaritas station’s power core logs and schematics of power distribution to components
  • Data gathered on the first Mechanicus expedition at Gravis Minor. (Gödel’s deviation)

Research:

  • Biological: Genetic material of original Yves and Xavier,
  • Ptera-Squirrel, genetic samples
  • Blood sample of Maximus of Grand falls

819.M41

  • Datavirus inflicts the tech-shrine. It is traced to contact to machine spirit of Alpha Vault at Gravis Major During “No Prayer” campaign.
