Stingnet Dispersal System
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: Create a local-area softkill/decoy system to confuse guided munitions, sensor pings, and low-intelligence tracking AI. Acts as a modern replacement for traditional chaff/flares with bonus electro-gravimetric interference.

- Manufacturer: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: CEM-ECSDM-X1 “Stingnet”
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Limited
- Material:
- Agrinium-Threaded Fiber Mesh: Microfibers used to scatter EM and gravimetric signals; highly resistant to ionization
- Plasteel Canister Shells: For the delivery container or rack-based launch system
- Thermite-Based Flare Cores: For thermal signature generation and burnback on proximity
- Reflec-Laced Film Strips: Used in sensor spoofing decoys and hull overlays for temporary false returns
- IFF Spoofing Layer: Temporarily mimics Commonwealth ship silhouettes/signals
- Gravitic Pulse Emitters: Disrupts gravity-based guidance systems and tractor locks
- Sensor-Mirror Fibers: Reflect and scatter active sensor pings across multiple vectors
- Thermal Decoy Flares: Emit starfighter-scale heat signatures in layered dispersal
- Microburst Cloud Deployment: 360° omni-launch or focused cone options
- Breaks lock from standard warheads, low/mid-tier targeting systems
- Effective against mass-driver and plasma-based targeting AI
- Can function as an area denial burst if deployed in narrow formations
- Effect is short-lived (5–10 seconds max)
- Can interfere with own sensors if deployed too close
- Not effective against Force-guided or manually targeted munitions
The Stingnet Dispersal System is a rapid-deployment defensive countermeasure designed to fill local space with electro-gravimetric debris, thermal decoys, and sensor-spoofing clouds, creating momentary disruption in hostile targeting systems. A next-gen evolution of chaff/flares, the Stingnet is not passive—it aggressively fakes IFFs, scatters gravimetric noise, and simulates engine blooms and weapons signatures.
Developed for the Muhktiar IV-class and similar escorts, the Stingnet deploys through microburst canisters affixed along the hull or in belly racks. Each canister releases micro-filament strips, signal mirrors, and pulsed emitters, creating a cloud of false returns across multiple spectrums (thermal, magnetic, gravitic, and EM).
Ideal for breaking locks or confusing targeting AI during a critical moment, the Stingnet buys time for evasive maneuvers, weapon suppression, or support arrival. However, its disruption radius is short-lived and must be tactically deployed, lest it hinder friendly systems or create navigational hazards.
