The Epsilon series is a work in process. Her construction is a balance of synthetics, breakthroughs in cybernetics and an experiment in form and function. Her hardware design is modifiable. Aboard [[USS Discovery-B]], the Chief Medical Officer and Science Chief possess separately packaged critical data regarding cybernetic functions. In accordance with Starfleet regulations that the Chief Engineering Officer has command clearance data on all on-board equipment. Epsilon's schematic is also accessible by authorization of her Commanding Officer. | |||
Although it may sound counter-intuitive, it is the deeper internal structure surrounding her cybernetic brain which has been designed for durability and limited access, while the "superficial" function of her exterior is designed to allow her to blend into humanoid environments. | |||
Starfleet Engineering Corps rigorously pursued a design to fool-proof reverse engineering attempts on the Epsilon series, developing a semi-modular design scheme that "counters" unauthorized disassembly. Comprehensive analysis of hypothetical and actual missions scenarios showed that the highest probability Epsilon-Delta would be damaged beyond repair would occur by intentional, pre-meditated subterfuge by Starfleet personnel or a member of the Epsilon project to gain access to her positronic brain. | |||
Final analysis by Starfleet Intelligence concluded that Epsilon Program modify the basic Soong Architecture with the primary intention to protect the positronic memory at the expense of external hardware, synthetics and cosmetic function. However, the design primer of her personality interaction routine maintained the final design include several (not explained here) cosmetic functions. Furthermore, Starfleet Intelligence was intrigued by the mission potential of an easily deployable, re-assignable physiology using cybernetics. This last function is least explored aspect of her construction and upgrades may be potentially developed in the future Mark V. | |||

In the event Epsilon predicts she will incur catastrophic damage, Epsilon will execute a secure memory transfer by subspace to [[DS285|Deep Space 285]], one of two Federation facilities where major repairs of her systems are possible. | In the event Epsilon predicts she will incur catastrophic damage, Epsilon will execute a secure memory transfer by subspace to [[DS285|Deep Space 285]], one of two Federation facilities where major repairs of her systems are possible. | ||
