• Model: Abyssal Transmutator Core Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron (Outer Armor Casing)

  • Bloodsteel Lattice (Energy & Sacrificial Conduits)
  • Voidglass Crystalline Matrix (Central Transmutation Core)
  • Neutronium Reinforcements (Structural Supports & Gravity Stabilizers)

• Subatomic Disassembly Engine: The heart of the Transmutator Core is a tightly contained disassembly crucible that breaks down matter beyond the molecular level into subatomic filaments. This process is governed by a lattice of rune-bound containment fields and gravitational compression cores, ensuring that even hardened starship hulls, corrupted debris, or exotic alloys are cleanly reduced without energy loss or volatile reaction. Unlike traditional furnaces, this leaves behind no inert slag, maximizing reclamation yields and significantly reducing processing downtime for slag removal.
• Dark Infusion Transmutation Chamber: Once raw matter is reduced, it is channeled through the central transmutation chamber, an alchemical sphere lined with bleeding glyph-circuitry and infused with Sith energy from bonded bled kyber shards. In this chamber, reclaimed filament matter can be altered through controlled alchemical saturation. This not only purges impurities but actively reshapes recovered elements into more useful or enhanced forms, such as transforming recovered Durasteel into Bloodsteel or crystallizing slag into dark-forged structural substrates. It can handle mundane transmutation or alchemical with frightening ease.
• Void-Resonant Recycling Capability: The Transmutator Core can recycle materials considered inert or untouchable by conventional means, including void-tainted alloys, ruined alchemical fragments, and Force dampened wreckage. Specialized voidglass resonance nodes embedded directly within the chamber walls enable the core to reinterpret fragmented exotic states into functional mass. This enables the system to reclaim and refine the shattered remnants of Sith constructs, cursed hull fragments, or matter warped by dark fields.
• Integrated Sacrificial Catalyst System: To empower difficult conversions or stabilize volatile reactions, the Core is integrated with a sacrificial catalyst system. Designed to accept biological mass, lifeforce-saturated components, or decayed Sithspawn remains, this system allows users to burn offerings into the transmutation matrix. Biological mass and lifeforce rich substances, when sacrificed, enhance material purity and stabilize volatile transmutation reactions, ensuring consistently high-quality alchemical outputs. This feature also supports integration with Sacrifice-Fed Relays and blood-tech infrastructure.

• Fully Replaces and Surpasses Molecular Furnaces: The Abyssal Transmutator Core matches all primary functions of a standard molecular furnace, reclaiming matter and refining usable resources from debris, salvage, or waste. However, its layered functionality, including dark infusion and subatomic refinement, results in higher yield purity, faster processing time, and the ability to selectively enhance output. This allows Kainate facilities and warships to remain resupplied far from traditional supply lines.
• Creates Alchemically Charged Resource Output: Rather than producing inert base matter, the Transmutator Core's unique output is partially infused with dark side resonance and alchemical structuring. The resulting material is more readily forged into Sith-based technologies, weapons, or armors, and serves as an ideal precursor for other production systems in the Kainate war engine. This significantly reduces the time and resources required in subsequent alchemical forging, increasing production efficiency throughout the Kainate manufacturing process. In many cases, materials recycled through the Core produce a superior structural yield when reforged, particularly in the crafting of Bloodsteel, Dark hull plating, Force reactive lattice alloys, and more materials and designs utilized by the Kainate.
• Reclaims Exotic and "Dead" Materials: The system's ability to process corrupted matter, cursed alloys, and matter infused with dark anomalies is unmatched. In theaters of war where Force based destruction or corruption may render salvage unusable by most systems, the Transmutator Core excels. It can process fragments from devastated Sithspawn, destroyed alchemical reactors, or wreckage warped by Sith fields. This gives the Kainate a permanent advantage in recovering value from battlefields others must abandon.

• Vulnerability to Force Nullification: Because the system relies on a binding network of Sith alchemical runes and energy drawn from the dark side, it suffers performance degradationwhen exposed to Force Nullification. In such cases, the transmutation chamber may become inert, or worse.
• Requires Sacrificial Power for Maximum Efficiency: While the Core can function on standard reactor output alone, its more advanced transmutation processes, particularly those required for alchemical enhancement, demand offerings of sacrificial value. Without access to either integrated systems (like Sacrifice-Fed Relays) or physical organic fuel (Ex. Sithspawn biomass, Blood-imbued minerals), the system may only operate at 60-70% efficiency and cannot generate alchemical-grade materials.
• Dangerous to Unshielded Personnel: The inner workings of the Transmutator Core produce intense radiation, heat, and unstable dark emissions. Without shielding or containment protocols, unarmored personnel near the system may suffer necrotic exposure, cognitive dissonance, or madness from extended proximity. Facilities using the Core require reinforced alchemical shielding or containment chambers to remain safe for crew operation.

The Abyssal Transmutator Core Mk. I represents a turning point in the Kainate's industrial doctrine, a weaponized reimagining of the molecular furnace, cast in the image of Sith alchemy and designed under the eyes of the Shadow Mind and the Shadow Hand Darth Prazutis himself. As the war machine of the Kainate expanded and the supply chains of grew strained under relentless warfare, a need arose for self-sufficient recycling technology capable of elevating reclaimed materials, the need arose for a system that could not only sustain starships and stations through recycling, but one that could elevate the output into dark superiority. The result was the Transmutator: not a machine of industry alone, but a crucible of domination.

Forged within the dark depths of Malsheem, the Abyssal Transmutator Core was built to wean the Kainate fully off the galactic dependence on neutral molecular technology. Unlike standard matter reclamation systems, which merely process debris into neutral slurry, the Transmutator reconfigures recovered mass into components rich in dark side energy, making them immediately compatible with Sith armaments, armor systems, and ritual infrastructure. Matter does not simply become useful again, it becomes stronger.

Throughout its development, the Shadow Mind poured millions of simulation hours into refining the Core's containment fields and sacrificial catalyst systems, ensuring that it could operate not only aboard the Kainate's dreadnoughts, but within shipyard forges and orbital foundries. Its presence aboard key vessels of the Shadow Armada, as well as vital facilities like Nexul Station, has allowed these bastions to remain operationally independent even during prolonged isolation.

But like all creations born of Sith ambition, power demands sacrifice. Without blood and life, the Core falters. Without adequate shielding, it consumes those nearby. Without the dark side, it withers. These are prices the Kainate willingly pays for supremacy.
