The Heart of Gold, aka "Goldie," is a Normandy-class stealth frigate, and the current commission of Oz K in the Third Age.
History
Constructed in late 2019 at the CELAN Aperture Labs Chipyards, Heart of Gold maintained most of the non-platform components from Oz's previous system, Bistromath. The recommission was primarily a switch from Bistromath's 8th-generation Intel platform to 3rd-generation Ryzen, a swap which necessitated a few added components for such issues as AIO fit, lighting control and others. Heart of Gold was then swapped from its NZXT housing to a Thermaltake cube.
Stealth Conversion
In 2020, Oz began preparing a Power Mac G4 chassis for Heart of Gold's new housing. Upgrades were acquired in the form of a Ryzen 5800X (replacing a 3900X) and a GeForce 3070 (replacing a Titan Xp). After months of measurements, modifications, field tests and adjustments, the conversion was competed May 30, 2021. While adjustments to cooling and internal fit are still needed, and some minor issues are still outstanding, the project appears to be a success. The Heart of Gold is presently the most powerful stealth system in the CELAN Fleet -- as well as the only stealth system outside of the Auxiliary Fleet.
