Ion Wake Obscurant System
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To provide a limited, defensive egress countermeasure for strike craft and bombers, allowing brief degradation of pursuit sensor fidelity and missile-lock reliability without enabling interdiction, propulsion denial, or area denial effects.

- Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: CFS-IWOS-S1
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material: Ionized exhaust injectors, dispersal vanes, thermal signature modulators, reinforced exhaust-channel baffles
- Short-Duration Exhaust Ionization: Injects ionized particulates and thermal noise directly into the engine exhaust stream.
- Pursuit Sensor Degradation: Reduces the fidelity of hostile tracking sensors and missile seekers operating within the obscurant plume.
- Egress-Optimized Activation: Designed for brief use during withdrawal or disengagement phases rather than sustained operation.
- Non-Persistent Signature Cloud: The obscurant disperses rapidly and does not linger or propagate through space.
- Degrades missile seeker and pursuit sensor fidelity
- Effective during high-speed withdrawal and disengagement
- No friendly-fire or fleet sensor interference risk
- Short duration and limited spatial coverage
- Ineffective against direct-fire or unguided weapons
- No area denial, drive disruption, or interdiction capability
The Ion Wake Obscurant System is a post-release survivability countermeasure intended to protect strike craft during egress rather than disrupt enemy operations. Upon activation, the system releases a controlled burst of ionized exhaust and thermal noise into the vessel’s wake, producing a short-lived signature cloud that interferes with pursuit sensors, missile lock solutions, and fire-control tracking.
The obscurant is deliberately non-persistent and lacks the density or coherence required to interfere with propulsion systems, impose drive disruption, or create interdiction effects. Its design philosophy emphasizes escape survivability, not battlefield control. As such, doctrine restricts its use to withdrawal phases following payload release or aborted attack runs.
The Ion Wake Obscurant does not affect direct-fire weapons, does not deny space, and poses no risk to friendly sensor networks.
