- Maw Tech Core: Built around a reverse-engineered Path Engine captured from the Brotherhood of the Maw. Allows access to hyperpaths otherwise known as Paths. Short routes through hyperspace.
- Impossible to Possible Emulation Matrix II (IPEM-II): An upgraded droid-brain network featuring parts taken from Star Navigator Droids and Advanced Nav Droids, which combined are able to translate the Paths into navigational data, reducing the chance of the system rejecting said data as being impossible as regular systems have done.
- Access to the Paths: Provides unstable access to the legendary Paths, allowing for hyperspace jumps impossible for conventional drives.
- Tactical Surprise: Enables sudden, unexpected appearances and retreats.
- No Force-Sensitive Required: Replaces the need for a unique path-focused force user with technology.
- Navigational Decay: Unlike a Force-user who can feel the shifting currents of the Paths, the IPEM-II relies on static data snapshots. These routes decay as celestial bodies move; using a Path older than a few weeks increases the risk of collision or dropping out into deep space by 400%.
- Dimensional Stress: The Osmium-class engine exerts incredible pressure on a ship's hull. Frequent use without dry-dock maintenance can lead to micro-fractures in the Quadanium frame, potentially leading to catastrophic hull failure during transit.
- Calculation Latency: Because the IPEM-II must convince the ship's computer to ignore standard physics, jump calculations take significantly longer than a standard nav-computer often three to five times longer for complex routes.
The Osᴍɪᴜᴍ-ᴄʟᴀss Hʏᴘᴇʀᴘᴀᴛʜ Eɴɢɪɴᴇ represents Galactic Syndicated's most pragmatically amoral doctrine: if a weapon exists, it can be commodified. This principle was violently validated in the aftermath of the Brotherhood of the Maw's defeat.
While larger factions sifted the ruins of Exegol for political advantage, Syndicated salvage teams, operating under ruthless corporate mandates, scavenged the scorched and half-melted Path Engines from Maw raider wreckage from the former Maw Corridor before the collapse of the Galactic Alliance.
The core technological breakthrough is the Emulation Matrix II (IPEM-II). Lacking a Force-user's intuitive grasp of the living Paths, Syndicated engineers built a substitute from butchered Star Navigator and Advanced Nav Droid brains.
It takes the screaming, illogical coordinates of a Path and, through recursive brute-force calculation, produces a jump solution by overwhelming the ship's own computers with probabilistic arguments. The process is agonizingly slow, Calculation Latency means a pilot must commit to a jump vector long before a conventional fighter would, a deadly pause in a dogfight.
Additionally dimensional stress often resonates through every durasteel beam, requiring exhaustive dry-dock scans for microfractures after mere handfuls of jumps. Furthermore, the IPEM-II works with static data. A Path is not a hyperspace lane, but a momentary and often inaccessible route. The Navigational Decay is severe; a route mapped a month prior is now a cosmic game of chance.
