VI Upgrade - Holographic Projector

A VI with the holographic projector upgrade gains the ability to project a hardlight hologram of itself anywhere within the starship. As a living hologram, the VI uses the statistics of an elemental whose maximum size is the size of the starship or the size associated with its model type, whichever is smaller. The living hologram also gains the incorporeal and technological subtypes, as well as the freeze, hardlight slam, and rejuvenation abilities of a living hologram. In addition, the living hologram cannot move more than 30 feet beyond the starship without being immediately destroyed (though it can rejuvenate).

The VI can manifest or dismiss its hardlight body as a move action, and if the hologram is destroyed, the VI’s consciousness returns to the starship’s computers, where it’s confined until the hologram can rejuvenate 1d4 hours later. The VI’s projector is typically located within the starship’s computer mainframe.
