USS RMG Nexus – Starfleet Vessel Overview

USS RMG Nexus (NCC-94123) is a highly specialized Nebula-class starship, a unique vessel designed for the bleeding edge of Starfleet’s technological and ethical frontiers. The “RMG” in its designation stands for Robotics and Manufacturing Group, a name chosen to reflect its primary mission profile.

This starship was commissioned under a groundbreaking joint initiative between Starfleet and a private sector corporation, Rebootica Mobile Games. Originating on Old Earth as a hugely successful video game developer, Rebootica Mobile Games strategically leveraged its expertise in complex code, virtual world-building, and procedural generation to become a pioneering force in advanced artificial intelligence and robotics. Its sponsorship of the RMG Nexus allowed for the installation of state-of-the-art systems not typically found on standard Starfleet vessels. As a result, the RMG Nexus operates as the flagship of the Starfleet Advanced Robotics & AI Division.

The RMG Nexus is tasked with a threefold mission:

• Frontier Research & Uncharted Phenomena: To explore and analyze deep-space anomalies, unique planetary environments, and other uncharted phenomena that require specialized robotic and AI-assisted analysis.
• AI Integration: To serve as a testbed for the integration of highly advanced, sentient AIs and robotic life forms into Starfleet operations, exploring the ethical and operational challenges of such a future.
• Spatial-Temporal Threats: To respond to unusual spatial-temporal threats, utilizing its unique systems to navigate and mitigate risks posed by time distortions, dimensional rifts, and other non-standard astrophysical phenomena.

The ship’s mission is not just a scientific one, but a philosophical one—pushing the boundaries of what it means to be alive and conscious in the vastness of the galaxy. Its crew is a diverse group of specialists, each chosen for their expertise and open-minded approach to a future where man and machine work side-by-side.

USS RMG Nexus (NCC-94123) Deck Overview

The USS RMG Nexus, a modified Nebula-class starship, features a deck layout that prioritizes its unique mission profile of robotics, AI integration, and deep-space anomaly research.

While maintaining the standard structural integrity and layout of its class, several decks have been extensively re-engineered to house its specialized systems and support its groundbreaking crew.

Deck 1: The Bridge & Command

The command center of the RMG Nexus is a hub of advanced technology. In addition to standard helm, tactical, and science stations, the bridge features a dedicated console for AI and robotics oversight.

Behind the main viewscreen, the ship’s panoramic Observation Lounge doubles as a mission briefing and diplomatic reception area—equipped with holographic projection interfaces and access to shipwide records.

Deck 2: Strategic Operations & AI Core

This deck is home to the Strategic AI Operations Center. It is a restricted area housing the powerful Rebootica Nexus AI Core, the heart of the ship’s advanced computing capabilities.

This core allows the ship’s computer to process data at unprecedented speeds, making it a crucial component for analyzing complex spatial-temporal threats.

Deck 3: Primary Science & Medical

The primary science labs are located on this deck, with facilities for astrophysics, exobiology, and temporal mechanics.

These labs are where the crew, including Lieutenant Jien’a, conducts deep-space analysis and studies the bizarre phenomena encountered on their missions.

The main Sickbay is also on this deck, equipped with specialized holographic emitters for treating a variety of life forms, both organic and synthetic.

Deck 4: Robotics & Security

This deck is the core of the ship’s “RMG” designation. It consists of expansive, state-of-the-art laboratories and clean rooms dedicated to advanced robotics and Exocomp development.

Here, new robotic tools are designed, manufactured, and tested. It also serves as the primary hub for the sentient Exocomps, including X-239, providing them with dedicated diagnostic and maintenance stations.

A miniature holodeck on this deck allows Exocomps to simulate decision trees, test upgrades, or participate in ethics programming exercises in a sandboxed environment.

Due to the sensitive nature of the work here, the Security Office and Brig are discreetly located on this deck to handle containment of rogue tech or hostile entities.

Advanced force field systems integrate directly with the AI Core for automated response.

Decks 5–6: Crew Quarters & Utility

These decks are dedicated to the crew’s living and recreational needs. The layout is designed to foster camaraderie among the diverse specialists on board.

Facilities include a large mess hall, holodecks, and a hydroponics bay for growing fresh food. The quarters are designed to be adaptable for a wide range of species, from the Andorian Ensign Kael to the Vulcan Commander T’Lar.

A dedicated Transporter Bay on Deck 6 handles both personnel transfers and specialized cargo movements, optimized for robotic and Exocomp logistics.

Decks 7–9: Main Engineering

Under the command of Chief Engineer Rax, these decks contain the heart of the ship’s propulsion and power systems. All decks are threaded with expanded Jefferies Tubes, redesigned to support autonomous Exocomp navigation and micro-repairs without interrupting crew operations.

• Deck 7: Houses the secondary engineering bay and various maintenance corridors.
• Deck 8: The main engineering bay, a large, two-story chamber housing the matter-antimatter reaction assembly. This is the central hub where Chief Rax and his team oversee all starship operations. Adjacent to this bay is a dedicated Exocomp Service Bay, a custom-built facility that allows X-239 and other Exocomps to perform self-diagnostics and interface directly with the ship’s systems.
• Deck 9: The warp core is located on this deck, accessible for maintenance and repair.

Decks 10–14: Auxiliaries, Shuttlebay & Sensor Core

These lower decks contain a variety of critical support systems.

• Deck 10: Features the main shuttlebay, which houses not only standard shuttles but also specialized, unmanned probes and drones designed for hazardous environments.
• Deck 11: Dedicated to cargo storage, atmospheric processors, and other vital auxiliary systems that keep the ship operational during long-duration missions.
• Deck 12: Houses the main sensor array and long-range scanners.
• Deck 13: A highly restricted deck that serves as the Gravimetric & Temporal Sensor Sub-Core. This heavily shielded chamber is where the most sensitive components of the ship’s sensor array are housed, allowing the crew to detect and analyze subtle distortions in the space-time continuum without risking exposure to chroniton particles or other temporal fluctuations.
• Deck 14: Contains the main environmental systems, waste management, and additional cargo holds. Escape pods are distributed across all decks, with smart routing systems that prioritize injured crew and Exocomp containment units.
