• Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
• Market Status: Closed Market
• Model: CVC-FSAV-S1 “Aetherveil” Environmental Sensor Matrix
• Modularity: Yes
• Production: Minor
• Material:
  
  • Crystaplast-encased sensor lens arrays
  • Canarocite waveform buffer
  • Agrinium-sheathed signal conduits
  • Synthek harmonic filtration nodes
  • Quantum-tuned phase receivers
  • CIHR harmonic interface terminal

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Spatial Phase eXtrapolation (SPX) Array – detects mass displacement, gravitic wake, subspace echo signatures
• Aetherveil Environmental Scanning Suite – maps planetary systems, asteroid fields, nebulae, gas density, ion storms, and radiological anomalies
• CIHR-Coupled Harmonic Filtering – isolates engine emissions, shield frequency variance, and stealth field fluctuations
• Canarocite Pulse-Cycle Buffer – allows burst-sweep scan without feedback overload
• Passive/Active Scan Modes – switch between stealth-compatible listening and full sweep mapping
• Tactical Integration – syncs with navigation, fire control, and ECM suites
• Subspace Ripple Detection – detects recent micro-jumps, cloaked reversion disturbances, or interdiction bubbles
• Helion Matrix Data Core - Compatible with and built to work with HMDC/Verityne Crystals

STRENGTHS

• Real-Time System Mapping: Can identify planets, moons, rings, and debris fields in the ship's local star system
• Ship Signature Analysis: Pinpoints engine types, power signatures, shield cycling — even ID vessel class
• Subspace Awareness: Detects hyperspace micro-ripples and gravitic anomalies, enabling early warning of jump-in activity
• Stealth-Compatible: Passive mode allows for information gathering without exposing ship’s presence
• Tactical Uplink-Ready: Supports fleet command datafeed, beacon sync, and long-range ECM coordination

WEAKNESSES

• Not Infallible: Cannot see through heavy nebulae, solar radiation, or dedicated stealth fields without auxiliary support
• High Energy Draw: Active scans require CIHR regulation and supplemental power (Blackwake Core recommended)
• Limited Outside Local System: Cannot see into other star systems or track hyperspace jump destinations
• Requires Calibration: Needs per-ship tuning to eliminate harmonic cross-talk or false positives

DESCRIPTION
The SPX-A “Aetherveil” Sensor Matrix is a top-tier Commonwealth sensor system designed to give mid-to-large capital ships advanced situational awareness across the immediate star system. Inspired by classical high-fidelity sensor arrays like those seen in other galaxies, the Aetherveil integrates CIHR harmonic tuning , Canarocite burst buffering , and phase-space subroutines to allow real-time mapping and tactical object tracking.

The system functions in both active and passive modes: in passive mode , it listens for subspace fluctuations, engine traces, and gravitic signatures without broadcasting, enabling stealth vessels to monitor nearby ships without revealing their presence. In active sweep mode , Aetherveil can create a full system map — identifying ship types, power emissions, orbital bodies, or even the faint ripple trails left behind by recent hyperdrive reversion.

Often installed aboard command cruisers , exploratory vessels , or stealth flagships , the SPX-A is the backbone of Commonwealth reconnaissance and coordination. With proper CIHR regulation and Blackwake support, it can serve as a fleet-wide sensory hub , giving the Commonwealth the kind of clarity that most navies only dream of.

While it cannot see across the stars or punch through every anomaly, within a system , the Aetherveil watches everything.
