SPECIAL FEATURES
- Creates a smoke screen that blocks any form of detection in or out. Smoke screen lasts 15 minutes in mild vacuum or windless conditions
- Smoke can be easily dispersed in a vacuum environment by a large ship repulsors from inside the cloud.

- Provides fleet officers the option of blocking enemy scans and detection.
WEAKNESSES
- Smokescreen also blocks scans of the person using it without the aid of a tight-beam relay station, or scouting ship with tight beam communications.
DESCRIPTION
This is a primarily defensive weapon designed to give Naval officers the option of concealment on the battlefield. The ION particles in the cloud are dense enough to block light, and any kind of sensory technology. Powerful tight beam transmissions can break through the cloud, but one must know the exact location of the recipient in order to send them a message. The cloud blocks all scans and non-tight-beam comms, both enemy and friendly, so this system requires careful planning by a tactician to be used effectively.
