​

• Intent: To develop a limited production Sith alchemical repair system that uses bio-threaded components to autonomously seal minor hull damage and maintain vessel integrity.

  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Fleshcoil Maintenance Web Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Bloodsteel-Enriched Myomer Threads
  • Alchemically Stabilized Fleshfiber Matrix
  • Organic Repair Clots
  • Neural Impulse Relays
  • Dark Hemoflux Cells

• Autonomous Hull Repair: Automatically detects minor hull fractures and deploys bio-threaded growths to seal breaches in real time. This allows starfighter or capital ship crews to stay in combat without having to land or manually patch damage, keeping up offensive pressure even when struck.
• Pain-Reactive Response Triggers: Responds to damage by mimicking a pain reflex, triggering rapid thread growth and clotting. The system is keyed to trauma patterns, using biological mimicry of a nervous response to prioritize repairs with uncanny speed.
• Dark Alchemical Tissue Bonding: Uses hardened alchemical tissue to patch and seal damage, integrating with the hull itself. The hardened tissue becomes part of the vessel's structure, providing a seamless, armored repair that can withstand continued abuse.
• Neural Web Syncing: Syncs with onboard systems to prioritize repairs in critical regions or during power rerouting. Allows the system to prioritize sealing around vital zones like power conduits, fuel veins, or shield matrix junctions to prevent catastrophic failures.

• Self-Healing Efficiency: Seals minor hull breaches autonomously during combat or void exposure. This allows Kainate vessels to mitigate atmospheric venting or pressure loss during battle, increasing pilot survivability and mission success.
• Organic-Alchemical Durability: Repair tissue retains armor-level resilience after hardening. Once hardened, the bonded material is as strong as forged armor, ensuring that repairs aren't just temporary, they're battlefield ready.
• Minimal Downtime Required: Enables ships to sustain damage and remain operational longer without dock repairs. The system buys valuable time in warzones, allowing pilots to return to formation or finish a kill run without needing external assistance.

• Limited Damage Scope: Cannot repair massive hull breaches or vaporized sections. Deep structural fractures, amputated wings, or total bulkhead loss are beyond its capacity, necessitating dockside reconstruction.
• Biological Vulnerability: Susceptible to corrosive, bio-warfare, or flame-based weapons during repair. Active threads can be destroyed before they seal a breach if hit with acid, fire, or necrotic agents, exposing a tactical vulnerability.
• Force Null Zones: When exposed to force nullification effects the systems efficiency weakens significantly, slowing its regenerative abilities.

The Fleshcoil Maintenance Web Mk. I is the Kainate's answer to the age-old dilemma of resilience versus speed. Sith starfighters and smaller vessels are designed for aggression, often operating far from repair facilities or in highly contested warzones. In such environments, a starfighter that leaks is a dead starfighter. The solution? Give the vessel a nervous system, and make it suffer to survive.

Designed by Malsheem Hypernautics and Manufacturing, the Fleshcoil system is no mere mechanical patch kit. Instead, it is a semi-living web of bio-threaded material, laced with bloodsteel and grown in nutrient-vats bathed in Sith rituals. These threads are inert until the ship suffers injury. When struck, the system activates with a reflexive jolt, threads twitch to life, swarming toward damage like blood rushing to a wound.

Each thread is steeped in alchemical tissue memory, knowing how to bind, seal, and reinforce. A secondary clot layer hardens in seconds, mimicking scar formation but far stronger, resistant to vacuum, laser, and pressure. The whole system is backed by hemoflux power cells, alchemically energized "hearts" that pulse life into the web in cycles. In some cases, the threads have even reacted to pilots in pain, sealing a breach not for the ship's sake, but for the bleeding soul inside it. From the outside, the repairs often resemble veins or sinew sealed across metal, a grotesque sight, but one that has saved dozens of elite Sith pilots from death.

Primarily deployed aboard Sith starfighters, support craft, and light combat vessels, the Fleshcoil Maintenance Web excels in high-mobility environments where conventional repair crews cannot operate. Due to its incredible effectiveness in combat scenarios, it was tested and proven effective even on capital ships. Scalable varians were approved for inclusion on large scale warships. It remains especially effective within small-frame warships operating in hostile or remote theaters.
