Tech Review Sithspawn Revitalization Projector [SRP-7]

[Revvi Cardas]

"Before 902 ABY, there was no effective way for an ordinary person to contend with the formidable power and bioengineered feat of the Sithspawn. The Sith Order has mastered its creation and now dozens of them roam the galaxy eating entire settlements and disrupting natural ecosystem's. Though what can be made with science and mastery of the force can also be unmade with the right techniques." --- Dr. Revvi Cardas ​

Device Components

Genome Sequencer:

• This part reads the Sithspawn's DNA, like scanning a barcode. It would identify mutations and compare them to a database of baseline genetic instructions for the original species.

CRISPR-Cas9 Editing System:

• A gene-editing tool that is vital to the operation of the SRP-7. It allows for the alterations to the DNA sequences for the Sithspawn. This device is equipped with the gene-editing system to target and correct the mutations as identified by the system.

Delivery Mechanism:

• To effectively deliver the components into the Sithspawn, the device would use a small nano particle beam projection wrapped in a Void Stone particle to target the cells of the mutated creature, ensuring that the tool actually reaches its intended destination.

Regenerative Bioreactor:

• After editing, the SRP-7 would include a compact bioreactor that sends signals that encourage the cells to revert to their original state and promote tissue regeneration through a process much like the Power Organism.

Mechanism of Action

Identification of Mutations:

• The device analyzes the Sithspawn DNA, to identify the exact mutations and alterations done to the original creature.

Designing CRISPR Components:

• Based on the device's finding, it would develop a custom reversion pattern, calculating how each corrupted strand must be rewritten to return the organism to its intended biological form.

Delivery to Cells:

• The prepared cells would be sent through nano particles wrapped in a Void Stone particle by the projector. The beam would penetrate a small section of the Sithspawn and begin to locate the mutated DNA.

Gene Editing:

• Inside the cell, the damaged DNA is cut and replaced with correct genetic information, undoing the mutation once a signal is sent by the compact bioreactor located within the projector.

Monitoring and Assessment:

• Throughout the process, real-time monitoring would assess the success of the gene editing and the health of the cells, ensuring that the process is effectively restoring the Sithspawn to their original form.

STRENGTHS

• Effective Reversal:
  • Capable of potentially reverting most Sithspawn back to their original biological forms, restoring their natural functions and behaviors.
• Real-Time Genetic Analysis:
  • The diagnostic interface allows users to monitor the restoration process and make adjustments as necessary, ensuring a higher success rate.

WEAKNESSES

• Limited Range:
  • The effective range of the projector is limited to approximately 35 meters, making it less useful against multiple captured sithspawn.
• Sithspawn Variance Limitations:
  • Potentially allows the user to reverse or alter Sithspawn mutations, particularly effective on those created through recent or experimental dark side rituals, such as creatures like Pic and Gorc. However, it struggles with creatures that have been bred or mutated over multiple generations, as the mutations become deeply ingrained and irreversible, often resulting in the creature turning into a degenerated, sludge-like form. Additionally, Sithspawn like the Hssiss, which naturally mutated over centuries from exposure to dark-side corruption, are difficult to alter due to the deeply embedded nature of their mutations.
• High Energy Consumption:
  • The bio-regenerative beam requires a significant energy source, limiting the number of uses during extended missions.

The Sithspawn Revitalization Projector (SRP-7) is a groundbreaking piece of technology developed by the Galactic Trade Federation in response to the alarming rise of Sithspawn, creatures twisted by dark side experimentation and Sith alchemy, who pose a significant threat to not only to their immediate environments but also to the larger ecosystem of the galaxy.

The SRP-7 was conceived by Doctor Revvi Cardas as a solution to counter the horrors of Sith bioengineering, focusing on restoring these creatures to their original forms. When activated, the projector emits a bio-regenerative beam that specifically targets the altered DNA and Midi-chlorian sequences associated with Sithspawn mutations.

Despite its capabilities, the SRP-7 is not without limitations. Its range is confined to a modest 35 meters, which can hinder its effectiveness when multiple targets are involved. Additionally, the projector's high energy consumption restricts its operational capacity, requiring frequent recharging between uses.

Interesting idea, do you have a canon example of reversing sithspawn mutations?

While there are no canon examples yet within the universe.

I made sure to mention that it can potentially reverse sithspawn mutations based on certain scientific research I've looked into. So it would be up to the Sithspawn's Creator or Writer to determine if it could actually work or if its just a dud.

Apologies, I got sick over the weekend but I talked with JOhn and while lacking canon examples in a narrow window this could be possible. Most sithspawn were created and bred over generations so after a certain point this would just make them sludge at best. In some of the more uniquely made one like Pic and Gorc would be easier to reverse. Other darkside mutated creatures like hssiss which had it naturally from centuries of drinking the corrupted waters of the lake. Please make sure the limits to what it can alter and possibly reverse is clear in the weakness section.

I believe this is satisfactory

Having come across this submission I am retroactively pulling this submission for review. (This means that you can not use it in the invasion until this submission has been re-approved)

So, firstly while there is an element of genetic engineering involved in the creation of Sith Spawn, how exactly is the device meant to read someone's genetic code without a sample of their blood or other organic substances containing their DNA?

Also, how the process work isn't exactly clear. You talk about firing a beam at a target to alter the cells, and then putting cells in a bioreactor. Is this something that is meant to be used in the field, or in a lab setting with the larger tech and bioreactors that are needed?

You also don't explain how you're accounting for the force element of the Sithspawn creation process. The process of creating a Sithspawn uses the force and genetic engineering to shape these creations, so the process of restoring it should also require both elements.

Also, no writer should have to be a genetic engineer or scientist to understand a submission being used against them. Please look at simplifying the language used in the submission to make it easier to understand.

• So, firstly while there is an element of genetic engineering involved in the creation of Sith Spawn, how exactly is the device meant to read someone's genetic code without a sample of their blood or other organic substances containing their DNA?

With the Sith Order and other Sith Alchemists presumedly having a database and samples of sithspawn species around the galaxy. It would not be difficult to have access to the genetic code of species and their DNA sequence and store it within the projector.

• Also, how the process work isn't exactly clear. You talk about firing a beam at a target to alter the cells, and then putting cells in a bioreactor. Is this something that is meant to be used in the field, or in a lab setting with the larger tech and bioreactors that are needed?

The projector is the front half of the device, while the compact bioreactor is the actual back part. The beam targets the cells and then pulls them into the bioreactor behind it. It can be used in the field in this way.

• You also don't explain how you're accounting for the force element of the Sithspawn creation process. The process of creating a Sithspawn uses the force and genetic engineering to shape these creations, so the process of restoring it should also require both elements.

It is defined in my submission that the nanoparticles would be wrapped in a Void Stone particle which is common to combat force usage on the site.

• Also, no writer should have to be a genetic engineer or scientist to understand a submission being used against them. Please look at simplifying the language used in the submission to make it easier to understand.

I have no problem in simplifying the language but how simple should I go. I don't really want to remove the science elements because that explains how it works in a sci-fi setting such as star wars. But I can remove such elements if requested.

Many Sithspawn are custom creations for a single Alchemist, and they are unlikely to share the details of those creations with others since that would also show up their weaknesses etc. Can you show me a database like this that your character would have access to?

Ok, now I'm utterly utterly confused. You create a package of DNA and use the voidstone package to use it to affect a Sithspawn, but then cells are being drawn back into the device to be put in the bioreactor? What about the rest of the Sithspawn? Are you basically using the device to get a copy of unaffected DNA to grow say a unmodified Rancor while the sithspawn continues to go rampaging around? I don't actually understand what you're trying to accomplish here so maybe you could explain it.

So the voidstone particle is going to neutralise the force across the entire creature? Or just the small area being affected by the nanoparticle?

The language should be simplified to the point that any writer on the site should be able to pick it up and understand what's going on with your submission. While I applaud your desire to put hte science into science fiction the fact is I should not have to go and research genetic engineering in order to understand what your submission aims to do. The idea is to be inclusive and to make it easy for an opponent to glance at your submissin and see what they're dealing with.

Many Sithspawn are indeed a custom creation. Some of them would almost guarantee share their information with others incase the sithspawn was turned against them by an equally skilled dark sider in a roleplay situation. As well as defeating said sithspawn if it started to rampage through their own troops.

Ok, now I'm utterly utterly confused. You create a package of DNA and use the voidstone package to use it to affect a Sithspawn, but then cells are being drawn back into the device to be put in the bioreactor? What about the rest of the Sithspawn? Are you basically using the device to get a copy of unaffected DNA to grow say a unmodified Rancor while the sithspawn continues to go rampaging around? I don't actually understand what you're trying to accomplish here so maybe you could explain it.

1. The Device identifies the the genetic code of the Sithspawn through a provided database.
2. The Device uses a gene-editing tool to alter the DNA Sequence of the Sithspawn.
3. The Device would use a small nanoparticle beam projection wrapped with Voidstone to actually enter the creature's bloodstream and begin the change.
4. The compact Bioreactor would signal the regeneration and healing process once confirmation is given that the gene-editing is taking affect. Ths signal would encourage the newly introduced cells to begin the process of returning to their original state before mutation began.

So the voidstone particle is going to neutralise the force across the entire creature? Or just the small area being affected by the nanoparticle?

As above, the voidstone particle is just going to affect a small area to allow the insertion of the sequence.

The language should be simplified to the point that any writer on the site should be able to pick it up and understand what's going on with your submission. While I applaud your desire to put hte science into science fiction the fact is I should not have to go and research genetic engineering in order to understand what your submission aims to do. The idea is to be inclusive and to make it easy for an opponent to glance at your submissin and see what they're dealing with.

The language of the submission has been rewritten to better reflect what I am trying to do.
