'''IDRIS''' is an acronym for the system in use by the Colonials to handle [[FTL]] jump calculations within {{dis|Cyrannus|Deadlock}}. At its core, it is a complex networked computerized system that aggregates and calculates information recorded via sensors, broadcast relays, and astrological and ship-transit databases.<ref>See: [[:File:BSGD - Loading Screen - IDRIS.png|''Deadlock''{{'|s}} loading screen factoid.]]</ref>

This form of [[w:crowd computing|crowd computing]] allows FTL capable ships to extend the [[Red Line]] considerably, as ship-based computers consist of possibly outdated information that would reduce the Red Line. Extension of the Red Line allows for longer jumps, whereas reduction adds additional jumps and re-calculations for each jump, and thus IDRIS eliminates and optimizes jumps with crowd sourced information.
 
== IDRIS and the Cylon War ==


As the {{dis|First Cylon War|Deadlock}} waged onward and outward throughout Cyrannus, {{dis|Cylon|Deadlock}}s began attacking this system to hinder the Colonial's war effort as {{dis|Colonial Fleet|Deadlock}} and the [[Articles of Colonization]] were established.

The first of the known cyber-warfare attacks against IDRIS spawns the [[Skirmish at Caprica Terminal]], where Cylons attempt to keep ''[[Daidalos]]'' within the [[Helios Alpha]] system following the delivery of ''{{dis|Athena|Deadlock}}'' to {{dis|Picon|Deadlock}}. This attempt leads to the destruction of affected satellites, and the increased use of planets in the [[Starlanes]] between the Helioses due to IDRIS's diminished performance.

This attempt leads to the destruction of affected satellites, and the increased use of planets in the [[Starlanes]] between the Helioses due to IDRIS's diminished performance (''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'').
 
The second major attempt occurs at [[Caprica Terminal]], where [[Clothos]] returns ''{{dis|Galactica|Deadlock}}'' and her remaining crew there. [[Battle at Caprica Terminal|During the recovery of ''Galactica,'']] [[Praetor]] [[Samanta Agathon]] of the [[Caprican Legionnaires]] discovers the addition of networked terminals throughout the station broadcasting erroneous waste data into IDRIS. As a result of this pervasive threat, Agathon orders the destruction of Caprica Terminal.
 
The Colonies later dismantle the entire system to prevent further Cylon cyber warfare attacks (''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'').
