Hm, it's somewhat lacking

This article (Planck Compressor), or a section of this article, is a stub and thus shorter than the author expected.

Due to the method that everything is written for Paradox, pages can get forgotten, inspiration can be lost, and writers can get lazy. In any case, on this page more could be added later.

- Compressor Operator

Tactical Analysis[]

  • Time is never a constant: The Planck Compressor is a highly experimental Tier X support vehicle used to augment your allies or hamper your enemies. In Red Shift mode, it speeds up time around a targeted unit, increasing its speed in both moving and firing.
  • General Practice of Relativity: The operator can switch from Red Shift to Blue Shift (and vice versa) at the flick of a switch. Blue Shift does the opposite of Red Shift, slowing down time around the targeted unit.
  • The Uncertainty Principle: Do note that the Planck Compressor is strictly a support unit and has no means to protect itself. Also, its containment field is rather fragile and easily disturbed, meaning that it is easily destroyed.
  • No Modifications Allowed: Allied Command has banned all attempts to arm or modify the Planck Compressor, after an attempt to equip the Planck with a machine gun failed when the bullets inexplicably slowed down upon leaving the gun barrel.

Operational History[]

The Planck Compressor resulted from an experiment into a combination of gravity lensing technology (used in Black Hole Armour) and Chronoshift systems. By mass shifting the system used by the Chronosphere to create wormholes, shifts in the perceivable "lengths" of the basic unit of time and space, Planck's constant, could be observed. Over time this technology was refined until it could be used to reliably slow down and speed up the flow of time for a target outside of the machine.

The invention of the Planck Compressor is sure to have widespread consequences; it could be used to fight the effects of relativity, to accelerate unmanned probes to other solar systems, to study events in greater detail or to save lives by holding a casualty in stasis, but of course the proposal was almost immediately made to weaponize this technology; after all, there could be no greater advantage than control of time itself! The Planck Compression Unit was bolted onto an AF-15 transport track, normally used to move ammunition and rations to the front lines, and the XSW-6.626 Planck Compressor was born.
