• Scry-Lock Augur Array: This advanced clairvoyant targeting node uses Sith sigil-weaving rites to identify and paint targets through terrain, ECM, and all manner of complications, disruptions encountered on the battlefield. It projects invisible Sith runes onto critical structures, allowing bombs to home in on unseen weaknesses. These sigils act as both targeting guides and psychic beacons, remaining locked even in shifting battlefield conditions.
• Malediction Lens Integration Node: Housed within the bomber's forward node and ritual command cluster, the Malediction Lens is a dark fusion of kyber focusing and precognitive data threads. It maps future points of collapse, aligning bomb release with key structural vulnerabilities, power surges, or shield downtimes. It can delay detonations mid-flight to heighten psychological dread or trigger synchronized impacts across a fleet-wide assault.
• Harrowmark Transmitter Nodes: Carved from Bloodsteel and encoded through sacrificial rites, these nodes mark each bomb with a binding curse. Upon deployment, the Harrowmarked payload locks onto designated victims with deadly precision. These marks disrupt nearby morale, distort sensors, and amplify effects of bombs deployed by the vessel.
• Bloodpane Lensplate Integration: Serving as the primary viewing aperture for the Scry-Lens suite, the Bloodpane interface is forged from the signature glass utilized by the Kainate. It offers unbroken, unmatched visual clarity while shielding the suite from feedback, thermal shock, and enemy counterstrikes. When activated, it shimmers with a subtle pulse, and those who gaze into it often describe seeing their own death reflected within.
• Ritual Foresight Bombardment Synchronization: The system communicates directly with the Shadow Mind and onboard augur circuits, predicting ideal release timing and multi-vector convergence. This allows multiple payloads to strike separate weak points simultaneously, causing cascading subsystem failures rather than brute-force destruction. Foresight integration ensures the bomber is always one step ahead of the enemy's defenses.

• Unrivaled Precision: Through sigil targeting, foresight synchronization, and psychic resonance, the Scry-Lens suite delivers the most precise bomb strikes in the known galaxy. Payloads bypass cover, misdirection, as well as interference, and detonate where they cause the most systemic failure.
• Psychic & Visual Suppression: The Bloodpane interface and Harrowmark effects work in concert to demoralize defenders before a single bomb hits. Enemy crews often experience dread, hallucinations, or lapses in judgment when targeted. The presence of the suite on the battlefield alone is enough to break cohesion in less disciplined forces.
• Enhanced Payload Amplification: The system amplifies certain bombs' effects through sigil synergy. For example, Crucible Sunder Charges detonate with double the structural destabilization if dropped onto an augur-painted target, while Reaper's Mark Warheads create lingering instability fields when released through the Malediction Lens.

• Force Nullification: As with many Sith alchemical systems, exposure to Force Nullification areas renders the suite's targeting matrix weakened. Sigils fail to project, foresight targeting shuts down, and bombs must rely on traditional technological delivery methods with reduced effectiveness.
• High Complexity: The system's layers of alchemical integration, sigil-tuning, and precognitive calibration require intensive upkeep. If improperly maintained, targeting feedback may become unreliable. Repair or recalibration during combat is difficult without trained Kainate technicians.

The Scry-Lens Bombardment Suite Mk. I is a masterwork of Sith warfare engineering, a precision targeting and deployment system forged not just with technology, but with foresight, ritual, and fear. Created primarily as the newest in bomber technology, the suite elevates each bombing run into a ritualized execution. It fuses the clairvoyance of Sith augury with bleeding-edge sensor logic, turning each payload into a cursed instrument of destruction that strikes not just the body, but the soul of enemy command structures.

Right at the core of this system lies the Scry-Lock Augur Array, an alchemically tuned sensor unit capable of identifying vulnerabilities invisible to standard scanners. It detects weaknesses in material structure, energy fluctuation in shields, and even psychic strain across hulls or bunkers. Once a vulnerable point is found, the array projects a hidden Sith sigil, a targeting rune etched in unseen energy, onto the strike zone. These sigils cannot be detected by enemy scanners, yet they serve as unmistakable beacons for the Velakorr's bombs, anchoring the payload's strike to the chosen point of collapse. Only through destruction or disabling the vessel, or targeted disruption can the sigil be removed.

Every bomb released from a vessel with the suite passes through Harrowmark Transmitter Nodes, ritual-forged Bloodsteel structures that inscribe a momentary curse onto each payload. This curse synchronizes with the previously marked sigil, creating a one-to-one bond between the munition and the strike point. These Harrowmarked bombs will always find their assigned targets, guided not by magnetics or sensors alone, but by ritual fate. As they approach, the sigils flare in unseen resonance, often accompanied by a localized psychic hum that disorients enemy troops and disrupts short-range targeting systems.

The true engine of foresight, however, is the Malediction Lens Integration Node. Located in the forward section of the suite's control apparatus, it blends real-time sensor data with prophecy-focused Sith algorithms. It does not simply respond to the battlefield, it predicts it. The lens uses ritually scarred kyberite and Shadow Mind overlays to calculate when a target will be most vulnerable, adjusting bomb trajectories accordingly. Some bombs may delay detonation, hang eerily in the air, or arc unexpectedly toward shield cycle openings, reactor shifts, or exposed joints. This foresight not only ensures maximum destructive efficiency but creates a sense of inevitable doom that ripples across enemy ranks.

All of this is seen and controlled through the system's Bloodpane lensplate, a crimson-tinted viewing panel crafted from the signature glass utilized by the Kainate. It acts as the visual interface for the bomber's crew, projecting sigil overlays, predictive strike paths, and structural collapse forecasts directly into the crew's HUD. More than just a screen, the Bloodpane shimmer reflects the fate of enemies before the bombs even fall. Crew members claim to see ghosts of future detonations echoing across its surface, and those who gaze too long often describe feeling as though they've watched the end of something sacred, be it a ship, a fortress, or a life.

Functionally, the Scry-Lens Bombardment Suite operates in six ritual steps: first, the augur array scans the battlefield; then the sigil is marked onto the selected target zone; Harrowmark transmitters curse each bomb to its assigned strike point; the Malediction Lens calculates exact timing and angles of deployment; the bomb is released; and finally, the sigil ruptures upon impact, amplifying the destructive effect. With this process, Kainate vessels don't simply bomb, they ordain destruction.

While the system is incredibly potent, it is not without limitations. Its performance diminishes sharply zones saturated with Force Nullification. These disrupt both its targeting and its ritual bonds, forcing the bomber to revert to conventional delivery systems. Additionally, the ritual complexity of the system requires frequent recalibration by trained Kainate technicians, and its sensitivity to exotic interference means it can be disrupted by such advanced efforts.

Even with these risks, the Scry-Lens suite remains a symbol of the Kainate's dominance in precision ritual warfare. It doesn't merely direct bombs, it delivers death foretold.
