Unreviewed Oblivion-Pattern Droid Incubator Mk. I

[Darth Prazutis]

​

• Intent: To replace standard droid fabrication systems with a Kainate developed automated assembly engine that grows, imprints, and manufactures Sith aligned droid constructs with darkly integrated programming and semi-organic components.

• Loyalty-Imprinting Neurohelix Engine: Integrated within the heart of the Oblivion-Pattern Incubator is a ritual-bound neurohelix imprint lattice, a sophisticated evolution of standard behavioral core programming. Unlike the basic heuristic subroutines of self-regulating droidmakers, this system engraves unwavering loyalty directly into the cognitive root of each unit. These are not simple command strings, but layered compulsions forged through Sith encoding rites, hardwired into the synthetic cortex. Each droid is born irrevocably loyal to the Kainate, its Sith masters, and designated Shadow Mind nodes. This hardened structure is incredibly resistant to slicing, reprogramming, coercion, or treachery, a perfect foundation for both frontline grunts and high-level tactical droids.
• Hybridization Chamber for Alchemical-Organic Integration: Where the Self-Regulating Droidmaker was limited to mechanical constructs, the Incubator's gene-forge chamber opens the door to a new breed of horror: semi-organic battle thralls. This chamber utilizes gene-splicing tanks and alchemical grafting arrays to forge droids partially composed of vat-grown flesh, bone, and blood. These hybrid constructs possess enhanced strength, rapid reflexes, and erratic, intuitive combat behavior, making them more dangerous, unpredictable, and resistant to standard anti-droid tactics. This also enables the Incubator to craft specialized Sith droids, infused with Force-reactive tissues and sacrificially bound cores. No other droidmaker in the galaxy can match its scope.
• Adaptive Battlefield Telemetry Node: At the core of the system lies a self-correcting command nexus that constantly analyzes live combat data from active droid deployments. This information, kill patterns, losses, sensor anomalies, target prioritization, is immediately used to revise the design schema of the next production wave. Unlike the static programming of conventional factories, the Incubator evolves with every engagement. Its ability to adapt armor structure, behavior protocols, and weapon loadouts without downtime gives the Kainate a tactical edge no other droid production system can match, and allows it to shift seamlessly between infantry, assassin, or heavy unit templates, including customized variants as needed.
• Ritual-Automated Assembly Spine: The Incubator's core manufacturing tier is built around a vertically aligned Ritual-Automated Assembly Spine, a production framework that merges precision mechanization with alchemical oversight. Unlike standard droid factories, which rely solely on mechanical arms and bulk assembly tracks, the Spine uses layered glyph-circuitry and blood-fueled motion channels to manipulate materials with unnatural efficiency. This system enables the creation of fully fabricated droids, mechanical or hybrid, in significantly less time, allowing the Incubator to outproduce all traditional droid foundries while embedding ritual signatures directly into the frame during construction. Whether it is mass-producing infantry drones or rapidly shifting to high-grade Sith enforcers, the system's throughput is unmatched.

• Produces Fully Indoctrinated, Kainate-Loyal Droids: Unlike conventional droidmakers, which rely on command protocols or manually programmed orders, the Oblivion-Pattern Incubator engraves factional loyalty into every core it creates. These droids are not simply obedient—they are ideologically aligned and incapable of treachery. Their imprint ensures they will resist even advanced slicers or coercive techniques, rendering them ideal for high-security deployments or black-site operations.
• Capable of Creating Semi-Organic Constructs with Enhanced Capabilities: By fusing biological components with droid frameworks, the Incubator can produce battlefield units that enjoy the tactical advantages of both machine and living matter. These include muscle-tendon reflex enhancements, adaptive pain responses, and flesh-woven control tissues for nuanced command response. These hybrid thralls are terrifying to behold and devastating to face, combining the relentlessness of machines with the brutality of living creatures.
• Self-Updating for Maximum Efficiency and Tactical Relevance: The Incubator's self-optimization system enables each production cycle to improve based on live battlefield data. Weaknesses in armor, response time, or strategic performance are recorded and eliminated in future models. This continuous refinement allows Kainate forces to maintain supremacy even against adaptive or well-prepared foes, with droid units that evolve without the need for central development overhauls.

• Force Nullification: The droid imprinting and hybridization process is deeply tied to Sith doctrine and relies on ambient dark side energy, sacrificial components, and ritual feedback systems. When placed under Force Nullification, the Incubator cannot perform indoctrination or semi-organic bonding, and defaults to baseline droid manufacturing only. While still far beyond normal foundries, its efficiency and dark edges are weakened. These basic units lack the enhancements of full Incubator products.
• Hybrid Constructs Are Resource-Intensive: The fabrication of semi-organic battle thralls requires organic tissue stock, sacrificial lifeforce reservoirs, and additional containment systems. This limits the number of hybrid units that can be created at once and increases the logistical burden on installations that maintain them. Additionally, care must be taken to ensure biological matter is kept stable during deployment, if compromised, hybrid units may degenerate or go berserk.

The Oblivion-Pattern Droid Incubator Mk. I is the Kainate's answer to the anonymous automation of conventional droid foundries. Where other systems produce simple servile machines designed for neutrality or civilian integration, the Oblivion-Pattern exists to make all before it inferior in every sense of the term, weapons with minds, constructs birthed in sealed alchemical chambers and bound in both purpose and will to the Sith. These are not mere droids, they are the sharpened doctrine of the Kainate made in both flesh and metal alike. Instruments of loyalty, violence, and indoctrination, each one forged with purpose and precision beneath the shadow of Sith dominion.

Developed by the Shadow Mind and refined within the sanctums aboard Malsheem and Nexul Station, the Incubator marks the end of galactic neutrality in droid design. Each one is a sealed system of fusion crucibles, sacrificial catalyst tanks, ritual encoding cores, and flesh-binding spindles, able to forge hundreds of units per cycle in perfectly tuned obedience to Kainate needs. Each model is a union of bleeding-edge technology and dark systems. From frontline battle droids to specialized skirmishers, enforcers and beyond, all emerge from the chamber as tools of domination, fear, and precision. There is no limit to what the Incubator can produce, or to the purposes it serves.

In the field, these droids act without hesitation, unclouded by hesitation or conflicting loyalties. Hybrid thralls stalk the battlefield with fluid, grotesque motion, absorbing fire and retaliating with unnatural efficiency. Others skitter across bulkheads or trench lines, guided by orders encoded in blood and pain.

With the Incubator now deployed across warships and factories throughout the Kainate war machine, the age of standard droid production has ended. In its place stands something older. Something crueler. Something utterly obedient. The Oblivion-Pattern Droid Incubator does not simply manufacture droids.

It births war.
