Special Technology:
-Auto-Pilot
-Omni-Directional Energy Grid: A revolutionary energy system based off of the bio-mechanical systems used by the Invid. Designed like a nervous system, the system can transfer massive amounts of energy with ease as the system can adapt to the amount of energy being pushed through the power lines, reducing the chance of an overload.
-Mental-Integration Control System: Based off of the telepathic controls of the Invid as well as control system of the Robotech Master's Bioroids, this system allows the user to interface with the system, drastically decreasing reaction time, due to the lag time between thought and reaction of the system is cut down. The system also increases the users ability to generate thought as well, further decreasing reaction time even more.
-Integrated Multi-Dimensional Shadow System: The unit has numerous small, SF-10 RRG SHADOW Mk.3 Shadow Dimensional Cloaking devices scattered throughout the unit, allowing for a much more consistent and energy efficient Shadow Dimensional field as the field contours to the shape of the vessel in question and not in a sphere shape. This systems drastically reduces the heat build up as well as the energy drain of the Shadow Dimension Field, allowing even Cyclones to take advantage of the Shadow Dimension technology.
-Inertial Dampeners: This technology drastically reduces the G's felt on the body during harsh turns and movement while both in space and in atmosphere, allowing the vessel to perform much more intense maneuvers without blacking out or dying. Can also be used on capital grade warships to reduce the G's felt on the crew while being struck by weapons or during intense maneuvers at high speed.
-Multi-Spectral Communication Jammers: A highly advanced communication jamming system that broadcasts a lot of jamming frequencies that prevents long range communication.
-Combat Computer: The Liberator-class is equipped with an advanced AI combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. Data collected by the combat computer can be displayed on the virtual environment cockpit of the mecha, which allows the system to display large amounts of data to the pilot and even highlight enemies and missile attacks with overlaid graphics. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over a few million images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to several thousand targets simultaneously.
-Heat and Radiation Shields: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening head and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
-Homing Signal: The escape pods of the Anglerfish class is equipped with a homing device that enables rescue teams to locate a disabled craft or ejected life pod. The range of the signal is 400 miles. Most REF ships and veritechs can locate and track a homing signal, and the onboard computers will automatically notify their pilots if such a signal is detected.
-Laser Targeting System: Range: 1,500,000 miles. An system that uses invisible laser to help target vessels, mecha or any other kind of objects.
-Optics (Infrared): Range: 1,500,000 miles. This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
-Optics (Night Vision): Range: 1,500,000 miles. A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
-Optics (Thermal Imager): Range: 1,500,000 miles. A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke.
-Radar AN/APG-95C: X-band pulse Doppler radar. Detection radar against target 1,750,000 km.
-Gravitic Disruption Sensors: An advanced Haydonite/Tirolian sensor module that allows the vessel to track other ships by the gravitic wake of vessels.
-Radio/Video Communication: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 3,000 light years or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
-Infra-Red Warning Receiver OLDELFT (IRWR): Providing all aspect protection from IR guided missiles
-Radar Warning Receiver AN/ALR-80 (RWR): Providing all aspect protection from RF guided missiles.
-SF-10 RRG SHADOW Mk.3: A four-dimensional distortion field generator which downshifts and dampens protoculture radiation so that it is emitting only weakly in these wavebands. Like the VAF-8, the Liberator-class is designed to use the SF-10 Cloaking Device, the new standard cloaking device for the REF. A much improved version of the original SF-7 cloaking device, this version incorporates changes that makes the device smaller and more affordable to manufacture. The device still operates like older versions; rendering the mecha invisible to all electronic forms of detection, including radar, Invid Protoculture sensors, and microwaves. Only light-based detection systems, such as optical and laser tracking will detect the mecha.
The SF-10 is the first cloaking device to feature THREE modes of operation instead of only two: ON, in which the device operates normally; OFF, in which the device is shut off and the mecha is detectable by all forms of electronic detection; and SAFETY, in which the device emits a "4th dimensional blip," which is detectable by other REF mecha's collision warning systems. The SAFETY mode is used for close formations where mecha proximity could potentially cause disastrous collisions.
-Laser-Resistant Ceramic Coating: A Southern Cross invention, this coating type has been heavily upgraded by modern technologies, allow the coating to scramble laser tracking and can even reduce laser damage by half.
-RRG Mk.4 EM-Absorbing Skin Cover: A thin skin covering that strongly absorbs EM radiation from radio through ultra-violet wavelengths so that the unit emits only weakly in these bandwidths.
-Self-Destruct: To prevent capture of an advanced ship by the enemy, the crew can activate the Liberator-class self-destruct system, which will cause the vessel to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes with the time set by the vessel's captain alone. All internal systems are obliterated.

Design:
Liberator-class Super Dimensional Battlefortress
Description:
The largest and most heavily armed warship class ever developed by human hands, the Liberator class greatly expands the reach and might of the United Robotech Defense Forces. The class serves the role of a heavy dreadnought, bring incredible amounts of firepower to a battlefield as well as enough fighters, bombers and ground forces to lock down a small section of outer space by itself. The Liberator class serves as some of the most powerful warships ever seen in galactic history, having the mostly advanced and powerful technologies place into their frames, allowing them an incredible amount of firepower and versatility.
