Atlas (computer)

An invention of the Andorian Mining Consortium (AMC). Atlas is a computer capable of working in conjunction with a transporter to teleport sections of mineral deposits out of the ground, sending low percentage ore back to where it came from, while sending high-grade ore to a processing facility.

Atlas is capable of pin-point accuracy, and AMC officials claim that Atlas does not disturb the environment as much as traditional techniques, a claim disputed by some planetary ecologists.

The Atlas Project allowed the AMC to become the third largest private corporation in the Federation.
