- Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: CSM-AIXMS-X1
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material:
- Kyromite-laced modulation crystals
- Synthek control matrices
- Boreas-vent dampers
- Crystaplast casing
- Electromagnetic flux filters
- EFP-channeled plasma relays
- Slipshock Phase Coil
- Inertial dampening + vector-thrust enhancer
- Reduces G-load during high-speed turns or sudden reversion to realspace
- Tunes inertial flow with Synthek crystal assist
- Coldburn Auxiliary Thrusters
- Tiny EFP-driven vector thrusters for fine maneuvering or emergency attitude correction
- Excellent for docking, spin correction, or last-second flares
- Passive heat bleed can be redirected into FRIES or CIHR channels
- Plasma Shunt Intercooler (PSI Unit)
- Redirects hot plasma surges into cooling baffles during overburns or capacitor discharge
- Extends Kyromite crystal lifespan and reduces system fatigue
- Can prevent shutdown or thermal buildup in prolonged engagements
- Windshear-W Drive Modulator
- Hyperdrive coil buffer tuned via CIHR
- Smooths entry/exit to hyperspace and reduces flare signature (but not stealth-capable)
- Great for microjump accuracy, rally-point shifts, or flash retreats
- Improves overall maneuverability and performance
- Extends system endurance during sustained ops
- Reduces reactor/engine strain in high-pressure moments
- Fully compatible with CFIE, Arbalest, CIHR, and FRIES systems
- Adds some internal system complexity — more maintenance, more tuning
- Useless on ships that don’t use EFP or Gen IV crystal systems
- Not combat-rated on its own — cannot provide damage resistance or weapon enhancement
- Does not grant stealth, only cleaner performance
The AETHER‑IX Enhancement Suite is a modular collection of advanced crystal-aligned tuning systems developed to maximize survivability, control, and mechanical stability in Gen IV ships running Crystal-Fused Ion Engines, ElectroFrost Plasma conduits, or harmonic-regulated reactor systems. Designed for capital ships, heavy cruisers, and elite midweight platforms, AETHER-IX offers fine control over stress, predictive cooling, and recovery vectoring during aggressive maneuvering or hyperspace operations.
Each module — the Slipshock Coil, Coldburn Thrusters, Plasma Intercooler, and Windshear Modulator — may be used independently or networked into a central harmonic control cluster via CIHR. While not a stealth suite, AETHER-IX ensures ships remain precisely responsive, cohesively calibrated, and better prepared for extended combat or rapid extraction scenarios.
