Nuclear Authentication Disk

"SECURE DAT FUKKEN DISK!"

Greetings. This is the page for the Nuclear Authentication Disk, or more commonly reffered to as the 'nuke disk' or simply 'disk'. The 'nuke disk' is used to arm the Nuclear Fission Explosive after putting the disk in, and then inputting the respective code for the specific nuke.

This disk is the most valuable piece of equipment that is present on a station. It is the job of the Captain to protect this disk with his life.

The disk spawns in the captains locker and should always be on the captain, if there is a captain on the station.

There are several types of fake disks:

Firstly, there is a disk that is clearly labelled as a fake, and can immediately be told apart by inspection with a description of "a joke by a syndicate faction".

Another fake disk is alarmingly labelled as a syndicate target and major contraband, although a close inspection will reveal that it is an EDM album, and not the actual disk. This can sometimes be mapped as maints loot, and can make for some fun jokes with the captain.

Lastly, there is a fake disk that can be brought by syndicate agents that costs 1TC in their uplink. This is an exact replica of the disk. There is no way to know if it is the fake disk unless you attempt to put the disk into a Nuke, or if you use pinpointers to determine the real disk's location. However, ghosts that are able to inspect will be able to tell if it is a fake, due to the lack of a location ID.
