Unreviewed Gravebind Hull Mesh Mk. I

[Darth Prazutis]

​

• Intent: To create a limited production Sith exclusive inner hull reinforcement system that absorbs incoming damage shock and redirects it into the next shield cycle as energized feedback.

  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Gravebind Hull Mesh Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Plating
  • Bloodsteel Reinforcement Threads
  • Grave-Twine Conduction Lattice
  • Abyssal Shock Condensers

• Shock Absorption Lattice: Distributes and absorbs kinetic and energy impact across the mesh structure before it reaches critical systems.
• Feedback Conversion Matrix: Captured energy is stored and rerouted into the next shield cycle, temporarily enhancing regenerative output or recharging depleted segments.
• Grave-Twine Conduction Lattice: A lattice of pain-reactive organic-metallic strands that channels absorbed force energy like nerve impulses, empowering shield systems with residual trauma.
• Sith Alchemical Runes: Engraved runes etched into the mesh absorb psychic trauma and residual energy from battle impacts, reinforcing system resilience and pain-stability.
• System Sync Integration: Links directly into most modern shield control cores or power distribution nodes to optimize synchronization timing during refresh cycles.

• Energy Recycling: Damage taken by the inner hull contributes to reinforcing shields in the next refresh interval, improving sustainability during prolonged engagements.
• Internal System Protection: Reduces immediate system trauma from hull breaches, explosions, or hard strikes by dispersing energy through the mesh web.
• Sith Tech Enhanced: Uses Sith alchemical properties to stabilize dark shockwaves and emotional backlash often present in dark side infused combat scenarios.

• Feedback Lag: Energy absorption is not instantaneous, feedback occurs during the next shield refresh, leaving a temporary vulnerability window.
• Force Nullification: In zones of total Force nullification (such as Voidstone saturation or ysalamir fields), the alchemical runes lose their resilience-enhancing effect. While the feedback mesh still operates mechanically, its resistance to psychic trauma and dark turbulence is significantly reduced.
• Overload Hazard: Excessive or rapid consecutive impacts may exceed the mesh's capacity, causing thermal buildup or feedback backlash into internal systems.

The Gravebind Hull Mesh Mk. I represents a fusion of cruel alchemical insight and cutting-edge Sith engineering. Developed deep within the crucibles of Malsheem Hypernautics, it was designed to turn suffering into strength, not merely endure damage, but feed on it. It represents the latest in a string of technologica innovations developed by the Kainate designed to push them far ahead of the rest of the galaxy.

Constructed from ultra-dense Sarrassian Iron plates and woven with Grave-Twine Conduction Lattice, a semi-organic mesh of pain-reactive materials derived from bloodsteel and alchemized remnants of tortured captives, the system spreads the impact of energy and kinetic strikes like agony across a nervous system. That force is then captured within Abyssal Shock Condensers that store it momentarily, before discharging it during the next shield refresh, empowering defenses with the echoes of injury.

The entire lattice is etched with alchemical runes, resonating with dark energy and reinforcing the system against dark destabilization. Sith commanders report feeling the vessel "grimace" in pain during extreme impact but also feel the grim satisfaction of retaliation. Its power, however, is not absolute. Overwhelming salvos, ion storms, or feedback mismatches can destabilize the mesh. And because the feedback is not immediate, moments of vulnerability exist between the intake of damage and the shield refresh. Still, for Sith warships and starfighters tasked with surviving impossible engagements, the Gravebind is more than armor. It is a living memory of pain, forged into the vessel's very bones.
