Computer Combat Predictor
The CCP system was developed by Imperial engineers in the decade after the death of Admiral
Thrawn. It was designed to predict attacks of incoming starfighters, interfacing with the
weapons systems to fire autoamtically in a set pattern. This was particularly useful when
combined with an active stealth system such as the Hibridium Cloaking Device, but the CCP is
rather lacking in accuracy. The variables of tacking invisible targets quickly reaches
infinity, but the CCP gives at least some chance to hit targets in the very beginning of
a battle while firing blindly. Striking capital ships is obviously easier due to their larger
size and lower manoeuverability, but tracking difficulty increases rapidly with distance to
the target. The CCP remains effective a few minutes at most, and seldom more than seconds
against starfighters. However, de-cloaking to acquire correct data will reset the system.
The NIF has improved on the system to allow it to be used against other, relatively
fixated objects such as ground targets, stations and capital ships. Additionally, the system
can be placed in an advisory role rather than firing automatically to take advantage of a
gunner's "gut instincts". The improved CCP was designed for use in the V-38 Assault
Starfighter.
