SPECIAL FEATURES

• Scalable Exclusion Envelope
  • 300–1,500 km (Single Ship):
    • High stability and precision
    • Controlled emergence displacement
  • 1,500–15,000 km (Multi-Ship Network):
    • Requires coordinated projection between multiple vessels
    • Moderate precision, wider denial coverage
  • 15,000–50,000 km (Strategic Grid):
    • Requires fleet-level or fixed installations
    • Functions as broad hyperspace disruption rather than precise control
• Forced Emergence Boundary
  • At tactical radii:
    • Produces predictable reversion zones just outside engagement range
  • At larger scales:
    • Boundary becomes diffuse but continues to deny direct insertion
• Gravitic Lattice Synchronization
  • Multiple IHX-9I units can:
    • Link and stabilize overlapping fields
    • Extend coverage while distributing energy load
  • Requires continuous synchronization and coordination
• Centralized / Distributed Projection Modes
  • Single-ship mode: Stable, precise, high-control field
  • Networked mode: Wider coverage with reduced emergence predictability
• Corridor Control Protocols
  • Allows Imperial forces to:
    • Maintain safe hyperspace entry corridors
    • Operate within the denial field without disruption

STRENGTHS

• Effective Tactical Hyperspace Denial: Prevents hostile vessels from entering directly into combat range and conducting surprise hyperspace insertions. Most effective within ≤1,500 km radius.
• Scalable Through Fleet Coordination: Larger denial zones achievable via multi-ship synchronization, orbital or fixed infrastructure. Encourages coordinated fleet deployment
• Predictable Engagement Control: At smaller radii forces enemy emergence into controlled zone and enables pre-calculated firing solutions and interception.
• Flexible Deployment Roles: Functions as a fleet anchor system, orbital denial tool and a siege-support network when scaled.

WEAKNESSES

• Limited Single-Ship Coverage: Effective precision limited to 300–1,500 km. Cannot dominate large battlespaces without support.
• Coordination Dependency at Scale: Larger fields require multiple synchronized emitters, stable communication and control, disruption of nodes can degrade or collapse the field.
• Reduced Precision in Expanded Modes: Beyond ~1,500 km emergence points become less predictable. At strategic scale functions primarily as a disruption tool rather than controlled denial.
• High Aggregate Power Demand: Scaling the field significantly increases total energy requirements and system strain across participating vessels.
• Detectable Gravitic Signature: Larger or networked fields produce strong mass-shadow signatures and an easily detectable operational presence.
• Navigation Constraints for Friendly Forces: Allied ships require pre-coordinated entry corridors, updated navigation data and the risk to them increases with field size and instability.

DESCRIPTION

Following the incursion of the Sith and Mandalorians on Tion which lead to the destruction of the shipyards there and the defeat of Imperial Remnant forces Barragh Nenn, studying the battle and the fleets involved concluded that interdiction had become far more weaponized than in the past. It presented an obstacle that could tie a fleet to a naval engagement, it was a snare that could be used to set a trap and close an ambush. It could tip the scales, especially towards the larger galactic polities. ​

​

The Imperial Confederation had given up ground, folding back in on itself to Fortress Worlds. It couldn't face the mass of fleets that the larger empires commanded. How then to tip the scales of battle?​

​

The IHX-7I Dominion Horizon Projector is an Imperial hyperspace denial system that projects a gravitic interference lattice designed to destabilize hyperspace emergence within a defined operational radius.​

​

Built upon established gravity well projector principles, the system does not prevent hyperspace travel outright. Instead, it renders realspace reversion within the field computationally unsafe and physically unstable, forcing incoming vessels to:​

• Revert prematurely at the outer boundary, or
• Emerge at displaced vectors along the field's gradient edge

When deployed on a single capital ship, the IHX-9I operates most effectively within a tactical radius of approximately 300–1,500 km, where field coherence allows for controlled and predictable emergence displacement.​

​

Expanded denial zones beyond this range—up to 15,000 km operational envelopes or 50,000 km strategic fields—require multi-ship synchronization or fixed projection infrastructure, forming a distributed gravitic lattice at the cost of reduced precision and increased power demand.​

Hello, I will be handling this today.

Now I can be honest, at best this would be unique and still need edits. You want to cover 3 distinct areas that were accessed via different methods. hyperspace was standard, sub-hyperspace is what quintessence traveled through and otherspace was an alternate dimension best accessed by accident. Even with suspension of disbelief and technobabble there would have to be something underlying to build off connecting how to control all three of these methods to deny/restrict it.

I appreciate the feedback. If you have suggestions as to how I could make this more efficient I would be open to them as it would help me to make the submission acceptable as I work on it more.

That said I will push back slightly with regards to this needing to be unique. As an example of other technology submissions we have the Hermes Hyperdrive that allows for travel through Hyperspace/Sub-Hyperspace/Otherspace but is both open market and mass produced. In reference to that I'm unsure why a technology that locks out a region of space from entry via those means would need to be unique.

Good question and to answer because the only example in canon of it is classified as a superweapon.

And John informed me that previous tries by others to make similar subs have been denied because of gatekeeping possibilities.

Fair. I'm not sure I understand how this constitutes a superweapon though. Its primary function, as stated in the submission is to lock down access to an area of up to 1200kms from access via Hyperspace/Sub-Hyperspace/Otherspace. Any ship could still enter via sublight speeds. Many heavy starship weapons on the board have an effective weapons range of up to 1000km which would put them just outside of that range. Really all this is doing is creating a zone that a Fleet couldn't jump in the middle of in the midst of a battle though they could still jump outside the limit and enter normally. It's more of an anti ambush device.

 

[Barragh Nenn]

Krass Wyms , I've completely reworked this submission so hopefully it's more acceptable now. It no longer deals with Sub-Hyperspace or Otherspace.
