!'Swarm' Multiple Pacifier Ship **MPSI** A highly specialised military [Starship] that mounts up to 72 [Pacifier]s (18 flights) in 'one-shot' single launch containers. In battle it has a number of major disadvantages: * The high logistics support requirement each MPSI requiring an attached LSSI to maintain the pacifiers and their crews. * Vulnerability to countermeasures such as missiles or pacifier strikes * The large number of one-shots cannot be launched simultaneously without a high risk of collisions. These disadvantages made this an unpopular oddity in some fleets during the 3050s. In recent years the MPSI has become more popular as a means to re-load Carrier fleet pacifier complements - allowing longer engagements.
