Approved Tech Umbraplast

[Darth Prazutis]

• Intent: To create an exclusive, Sith forged evolution of Gammaplast for armor grade plates, bulkheads, shutters, habitat panels, lockers, structural casings, and more in ships, stations, installations across the Kainate.

• Quad-Laminate Gamma Stack: A four-layer structure, hardface, energy spreader, structural spine, damping backer, derived from classic Gammaplast but completely re-engineered through alchemy. Each layer contains aligned Sarrassian-Iron nano-platelets that bridge micro-cracks before they propagate, raising multi-hit survivability well beyond duraplast or original Gammaplast. This stack absorbs blaster wash, kinetic shock, and high-density plasma irregularities without brittle failure.
• Trauma Spread Substrate: A woven bloodsteel micromesh arrests spall and spreads impacts laterally through the plate. Strikes that would normally crater or break through a localized point instead "smear" across the laminate. Bulkheads, shutters, and armor shells resist same-spot chew-through dramatically better, especially during boarding actions or turret splash damage.
• Ion & Thermal Hardening: Umbraplast is cured in a deep furnace temper that creates a matte, scorch-resistant outer skin. Ion wash, plasma grit, lightning backwash, and nebular EM noise couple poorly with the treated face, preventing stray energy from corrupting control housings or blistering the composite. The temper also reduces thermal conduction spikes, protecting mounted electronics or habitat modules behind it.
• Rune Ecosystem Native: Sith Blackstone micro-fill gives its outer surface an exceptionally high Rune Adhesion Index, meaning runes do not simply sit on the material, they bond into it. This turns each plate into an ideal foundation for the Kainate's ritual-mechanical overlays: warding sigils, command glyphs, seal rings, system runes and more anchor themselves without creeping, cracking, or burning away at the edges even after thousands of heat cycles, weapons discharges, or atmospheric re-entries.
  
  Where most materials cause runes to fade, distort, or flake over time, Umbraplast behaves like a permanent, self-stabilizing engraving bed. The result is a substrate on which even complex Kainate sealwork remains crisp, airtight, and fully empowered in the long term, making it the preferred surface for any Sith technology that relies on precise glyphwork to function.
• Dark Resonance Lattice: Dark attunant dopants woven through the matrix create a low-grade resonance that strengthens focus and clarity for Sith and dark side aligned individuals, while causing faint unease in non-aligned individuals. The effect is subtle, more of a pressure in the air, a heaviness behind the ribs, but enough to influence tension in corridors, brig fronts, or command compartments. Runes sync more readily on panels carrying this resonance.
• Disruptor Resistant: The composite's internal bondwork is intentionally irregular and phase-damped through Sith alchemy, preventing disruptor pulses from propagating clean harmonic destruction waves. Disruptor beams rely on nonharmonic energy pulses to excite matter and tear apart the bonds holding its atoms together. Instead of cleanly unmaking the material, disruptor beams fracture across thousands of micro-fault channels, dispersing energy as localized heat, char, and ablative flaking. Glancing disruptor hits leave pitted black-and-red wounds rather than ash. Sustained disruptor fire must eat through Umbraplast layer by layer, buying critical seconds for Sith armor, bulkheads, and habitats.

• Superior to Duraplast & Standard Gammaplast: Much higher multi-hit resilience, better ion/thermal endurance, slower failure under plasma/kinetic load.
• Dark-Side Synergistic: Dark Resonance Lattice enhances Sith clarity and rune syncing; ideal for temples, interiors, command decks, habitats and much more.
• Disruptor Resistant: Phase-damped lattice delays complete disintegration by disruptor fire; glancing shots rarely atomize.
• Alchemized Toughness: Material dents and scars before breaking; easily field-patched, repairable through scarf-patching and sectional replacement.
• Psychological Edge: In Sith aligned zones, panels subtly increase pressure and tension for intruders.
• Rune Ecosystem Integration: Perfect adhesion and long-term stability for Kainate seals, sigils, and ritual-mechanical interfaces.

• Heavier Than Duraplast: Requires structural planning for large installations; not ideal for weight-sensitive microcraft unless compensated.
• Prolonged Exposure Fatigue: Non-dark-attuned crew can develop headaches or tension if living near large surfaces for extended periods.
• Force Nullification: The Dark Resonance Lattice weakens when subjected to Force Nullification, reducing its effectiveness.
• Requires Kainate Infrastructure: Umbraplast can only be produced and replaced through the industrial infrastructure of the Kainate.

Umbraplast is the Kainate's ascended interpretation of classic Gammaplast, the bright crimson material once used in the armor of Sith troopers, now reborn as a blackened blood-crimson war material shaped by Malsheem's forge-cathedrals. Where the old alloy shouted its allegiance in vivid color, Umbraplast buries that red beneath a scorched, furnace-dark skin; only when struck or wounded does the brighter crimson core bleed through in fractured veins. Every layer is alchemized, tempered, and folded with the express purpose of letting Sith thrive inside it.

Down at the micro-scale, alchemized Sarrassian-Iron nano-platelets bridge cracks, while bloodsteel meshes seize shock fronts and drag them sideways. Sith Blackstone micro-particulate gives the surface a fine ablative behavior against hot wash and provides perfect adhesion for the Kainate's ritual architecture. Beneath all of this, the Umbral Resonance Lattice hums faintly. A passive dark-side pressure that sharpens Sith focus and unsettles intruders.

When disruptor beams strike it, the composite's phase-damped lattice refuses their annihilation logic, scattering destructive pulses into heat bloom and char. In these moments, the wounded panel can briefly glow with Scorch-Bloom, an ember-like flare along the red inner strata, before cooling again. Umbraplast is now a signature of Kainate architecture, habitats, bridge masks, atrium facings, blast shutters, bunk shells, and armored partitions all throughout. Techs favor it because it scars rather than shatters; Sith favor it because they feel stronger around it. When cut, it bleeds red. When wounded, it remembers, and when layered with runes, it becomes part of the Kainate's living, resonant war machine.
