- Total Data Channel Lockdown: When a security breach or boarding event is detected, the Eclipsion Protocol activates a full deadlock cascade, sealing off all data channels, physical, wireless, and internal ports alike. This prevents any external or unauthorized internal access, freezing digital movement and isolating command structures for containment.
- Microdroid Guardian Deployment: Embedded in the system are swarm nests of semi-sentient microdroids, forged with dark patterning and sith enforced parameters. Upon activation, these digital familiars surge through internal wiring and systems, severing unauthorized cable interfaces, disrupting intruder slicer rigs, and hijacking hostile command lines when possible.
- Soul-Crystal Data Backup: All operational data and logs are immediately mirrored into soul-crystal prisms, which cannot be accessed digitally and must be manually retrieved. These prisms are keyed to Sith identifiers only, rendering the data inaccessible to enemies, even if captured, without extreme Force manipulation or Sith-level knowledge.
- Security Partition Collapse Seals: During overwhelming system compromise, the Eclipsion Protocol can initiate hard partition collapses, sacrificing non-essential system zones to prevent spread into critical command infrastructure. This measure can destroy localized data, hardware, or communication arrays, but protects the larger structure from total loss.
- Sentinel Loop Surveillance Record: While sealed, the protocol activates hidden darkcoil filaments to continuously log any ongoing access attempts, including audio/visual feeds, input strings, and physical tampering. These logs are stored in high-fidelity echo formats and reviewed post-retrieval to assess breach tactics and traitor behavior.

- Absolute Breach Denial: Once activated, no communication ports or data interfaces can be used from inside or outside without physically destroying the system or overriding the Protocol's core. This ensures no data can be transmitted, extracted, or corrupted by an intruder during the seal phase.
- Autonomous Counter-Intrusion Agents: The deployed microdroids act independently once released, dynamically adapting their movements through internal pathways. They can sever, misdirect, or corrupt incoming signals and infiltrator connections in real time, providing physical resistance to otherwise digital threats.
- Secure Sith-Exclusive Retrieval: All logs are sealed in sith data vaults that are incredibly resilient, nearly impregnable to slicing or conventional access. Only verified Sith operators with proper clearance may extract the backup data, ensuring full security even in the wake of destruction.

- Cannot Be Reversed Mid-Protocol: Once the seal is triggered, it cannot be undone without a full shutdown and manual reauthentication from a Sith technician. This can delay command chain restoration and isolate key systems even after the threat has passed.
- Force Nullification: In Force Nullification, backup access may fail to verify properly, and microdroid behavior may become erratic or less responsive to hostile presence.

The Eclipsion Seal Protocol Mk. I was designed in the fortified depths of Malsheem Hypernautics, born from Sith paranoia and sharpened by the Kainate's experience in digital warfare. It answers a simple question with brutal elegance: What if they break in? The answer is they get nothing. At its core, Eclipsion is a fail-deadlock suite, a final defensive measure meant to be triggered the moment enemy boarding actions or deep-system intrusions occur. Where other systems fight to resist or delay, the Eclipsion Protocol closes the gates entirely, sealing off all data channels, shutting down port access, isolating the system from all external or internal interference. Not a single byte passes through once the seal is engaged.
But denial is only the first step. The system releases a swarm of microdroid guardians, semi-sentient constructs designed to act like digital familiars. These tiny constructs skitter through data conduits and cable junctions, physically cutting off unauthorized access points, hijacking hostile intrusion vectors, and inserting false command loops where possible. They act quickly, decisively, and without mercy. Even slicers who gain brief access to the system will find themselves sabotaged from the inside, as their own tools turn against them or connections silently collapse.
More critically, all operational data is mirrored into dark vault prisms, locked within encrypted resonance structures that cannot be accessed by conventional means. Even if a system is destroyed or captured, the intelligence within remains sealed, retrievable only by Sith operators trained in its recovery rites. This ensures that even in loss, the Kainate denies its enemies the prize.
If total compromise is detected, the Protocol initiates partition collapses, destroying internal segments of the system to contain the damage. These collapses are violent, cutting off access and destroying non-vital subsystems to protect the central core. Combined with Sentinel Loop Surveillance, which continues logging all intrusion attempts and tampering during the seal, it creates a system that doesn't just defend, it remembers, judges, and retaliates.
However, such strength comes at a cost. The seal cannot be undone lightly, and reactivation requires proper rites and clearance. In Force Nullification environments, the system loses key functionalities, and the microdroids may fail to deploy effectively. And if invoked prematurely or improperly, it may do more harm than good to the very systems it's meant to protect. Still, across Kainate vessels, Sith vaults, and critical facilities, the Eclipsion Seal Protocol has become a cornerstone of final-stage defense. It is not a firewall. It is a judgment, cold, sealed, and absolute.
