Raiden: Miscellaneous
built 629 days ago
Raiden is an extremely lightweight and fast block cipher, developed using genetic programming. Its aims are to be simple enough to be remembered by heart and to be compact, highly portable, and light enough to be implemented in resource constrained environments. It was developed with the intention of being an alternative to TEA, with the same speed and without any of its known weaknesses.

Despite having a well-defended world, Raiden chose one of his ha'tak's, the Katana, as his base of operations as well as his flagship. It is perhaps because of this mobile base of operations that he has survived so long against such superior foes, as it made him a very difficult target to take out. Indeed, he went so far as removing the Stargate from Kyoto and placing it onboard the Katana so that he would be able to use a Stargate whenever orbitting a planet.
Raiden's appearance and mastery of electricity appears to have been inspired by the villain "Lightning" from the John Carpenter film Big Trouble in Little China. As if referencing the influence, Lightning's prominently large straw hat is available alongside Raiden's smaller hat as usable parts in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Kreate-a-Fighter mode.

Raiden is a geochemical transport code, designed for fully-coupled flow and transport problems in geochemically evolving regions. Varying assumptions on the form of reactive geochemistry can be made, with the possibility of modelling heterogeneous regions in which physical parameters vary across the domain.

The Japanese codename for the J2M3 was "Raiden" which is said to translate as Thunderbolt ; this is where the nose art symbolism displays the connection it is presumed. The "J" in J2M3 is the Japanese designation for this aircraft being a Land Based Interceptor .

Styling himself in the manner of a Japanese Emperor much like Yu, Raiden maintained a moderately-sized power base in a remote area of Goa'uld space bordering Yu's domain. It was because of this close proximity that the two Goa'uld often battled over the planets between their two domains and, despite Yu's greater numbers, the battles were evenly matched with each Goa'uld claiming victory on one world only to suffer defeat on the next.
