GENERAL INFORMATION

• Media Name: Breaking the Blackwall: A Theoretical Approach to Bypassing the Impermeable
• Format: Holobook
• Distribution:
  
  • Scattered - The work is rare, with only a few copies in circulation among select scientists, rogue Sith Lords, and intelligence networks. Any attempt to widely distribute it is met with immediate suppression by the Sith Order.
• Length:
  
  • Long - A dense, technical read filled with equations, alchemical diagrams, and theoretical models. Estimated at over 500,000 words, supplemented by holographic simulations and data analysis.
• Description:

This holobook, authored by Doctor Torgath Warsaw of the OM-3N Science Bureau, presents a radical hypothesis on breaching the Blackwall an artificial hyperspatial barrier enforced through Sith alchemy, interdiction fields, and the Void Storms. Warsaw postulates that by exploiting weak points in the hyperspace anomalies and utilizing counter-ritual methodologies, a pathway through the Blackwall may be temporarily stabilized.

The text is highly technical, drawing from Sith sorcery, computational models, and physics theories bordering on heretical. It includes data gathered from failed breaching attempts, speculation on the workings of the Stormseeds, and proposals for potential bypass mechanisms.

The book has been declared forbidden by the Sith Order, and mere possession of a copy is grounds for execution or indefinite detainment. However, copies still circulate within secret scientific circles, and rumors suggest that elements within the Alliance, Jedi, and certain Sith factions are desperate to obtain a functional version of Warsaw's research.

SOCIAL INFORMATION

• Reception:
• Sith Imperial Authorities:
  • Immediate suppression. Any known copies have been destroyed, and ownership is met with lethal repercussions. The Sith Order has sent scouts across the galaxy to terminate the rogue Scientist, and all references to his works are to be purged from galactic universities.
• Scientific Community (Inside Sith Space):
  • A mixture of fear, fascination, and silent admiration. Some researchers secretly believe Warsaw was onto something, but few dare to speak of it publicly.
• Scientific Community (Outside Sith Space):
  • Theories derived from Breaking the Blackwall have surfaced in Galactic Alliance intelligence briefings and Jedi research logs, though the legitimacy of its claims remains disputed.
• Black Market and Intelligence Networks:
  • A highly sought-after artifact. Some smuggler syndicates and intelligence operatives will pay fortunes for a fragment of Warsaw's work.

Excerpt from Chapter 6:

"If one accepts the hypothesis that the Stormseeds serve as both stabilizers and keystones for the Blackwall's hyperspatial labyrinth, then it follows that by either corrupting, negating, or bypassing their influence, one may theoretically traverse through its defenses. However, the consequences of such an act remain unclear. Would the breach collapse the entire system? Would it alert every Sith Lord attuned to the Blackwall? Or would the traveler simply be torn apart in transit, as the data suggests from previous unauthorized attempts? More research is required, though acquiring such research is, in itself, a death sentence."

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

Dr. Torgath Warsaw is one of the leading scientist within the OM-3N Science Bureau, specializing in exotic physics and Force-based hyperspace anomalies. His work in the classified corridors of the Tarkin Initiative led him to potentially uncover secrets about the nature of the Blackwall that few had dared to explore.

Initially sanctioned as a thought exercise, Warsaw's research quickly drew the attention of Sith intelligence agencies when his calculations suggested potential vulnerabilities in the Blackwall's infrastructure. Whether out of hubris, desperation, or a misguided sense of scientific duty, he compiled his findings into Breaking the Blackwall.

Shortly after its limited distribution, Warsaw fled his laboratory after discovery by the Sith Order's Tsis'Kaar. The official narrative states that he was killed in action during the liberation of Empress Teta by the Galactic Alliance after working on biochemical weapons for the Dark Empire turned Empire Reborn.

Though in the chaotic struggle against the Imperial Warlords in the Core....no one can be certain.

DESCRIPTION

The Orbital Shipyard Complex is a state-of-the-art manufacturing station designed to mass-produce warships for warlords, imperial powers, and independent planetary systems developed by the OM-3N Science Bureau. Inspired by the legendary Sluis Van, Kuat, and Fondor Shipyards, this station is built to be a self-sustaining hub of shipbuilding, repair, and fleet logistics.

The shipyard is equipped with massive drydocks, capable of assembling capital ships ranging from corvettes to full-sized Star Destroyers. Automated droid labor and rapid fabrication techniques allow for high-speed ship construction, making the station invaluable for any faction seeking to rapidly expand its fleet.

Each station includes modular assembly lines, allowing for the mass production of fighters, gunships, and light warships. These systems operate through a central AI overseer, optimizing workflows and ensuring maximum efficiency in starship production.

While the station itself lacks offensive weaponry, it is heavily fortified with shielding, reinforced hull plating, and anti-sabotage countermeasures. Sensor disruption arrays and ECM defenses make it difficult to pinpoint vulnerabilities, while a dedicated security force of droids and garrisoned troops defend the station's interior.

DESCRIPTION

The Romodi-class Planetary Orbital Array represents the zenith of orbital industrialization. Designed by the OM-3N Science Bureau as a monumental successor to traditional spaceborne shipyards, it emulates the legendary orbital rings of Kuat encircling an entire planet with interconnected foundries, drydocks, and modular production facilities.

The Romodi-class is not a mere station, but a planetary-scale infrastructure network, meant to support long-term construction, repair, and logistical operations for planetary governments and major galactic powers.

Each array consists of massive modular segments that interlock in orbit, each powered by its own reactor cluster and coordinated via a central AI. These modules operate independently or in synchronization, constructing capital ships, refitting old hulls, and maintaining civilian fleets. While the station is a civilian construct, its flexibility and scale make it an indispensable asset to military planners.

What sets the Romodi-class apart is its sheer presence a silent titan coiled around a planet, visible from the surface as a symbol of power and self-reliance. Its droid-operated foundries and adaptive design allow it to build anything from corvettes to massive dreadnoughts, with minimal need for external labor.

While it lacks weapons, its defense systems are robust shielded by ECM fields, sensor dampeners, and point-defense arrays. Any force seeking to destroy it must fight through multiple orbital layers and countermeasures. It is vulnerable only when left unguarded by fleets or planetary shields.
