Space Opera Computers

The computers in the Space Opera book are rated in DPU, which are 'data processing units', which is a great way to do things (since its totally fabricated), until they get stupid and try and try and relate how many DPU equals a current computing term. Ignore any of that crap. Lets assume that a DPU is some indeterminate ridiculously huge number of cycles or vibrations or instructions or terabytes. As long as we do that, things arent nearly as stupid as they could be.

Starship Computers

Starship computers are huge, all-encompassing units capable of running everything a starship needs. These giant systems are not just for starships, but also buildings, corporations, governments, whoever needs a giant network of computing power. These MultiComps include all the terminals, networking gear and peripherals that could be utilized by the user.

Personal Computers

Personal computers are like tablets, phones and laptops. They could be standalone devices or built into a vehicle or larger device. MiniComps can run programs just like a MultiComp, but not nearly as many at a time.

Battlefield Computers

BattleComputers are relatively compact units designed for use in fighting vehicles and by Power Armour and spacesuited personnel. The units improve hit probabilities in fire and possible hand to hand combat.
