Unreviewed Wraith Sense Threat Processing Unit Mk. I

[Darth Prazutis]

​

• Intent: To create a limited production Sith threat detection system for Kainate starfighters and elite vehicles that grants precognitive style awareness through alchemized bio-cybernetic technology tuned to disturbances and battlefield anomalies.

  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Wraith-Sense Threat Processing Unit Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Mounts
  • Sensory Mycelium Threads
  • Synth-nerve Conduits
  • Pain-Calcified Biocrystal Core
  • Corruption-Laced Bloodsteel Mounts

• Precognitive Warning Matrix: Detects hostile intent and trajectory shifts milliseconds before traditional sensors via local disturbance readings.
• Bio-Alchemical Design: Uses living synth-nerve and alchemized organic latticework to "feel" aggression and movement through metaphysical resonance.
• Targeting Integration: Can highlight high-threat vectors on HUDs or Nightglass Visor systems for improved reaction speed.
• Disturbance Memory: Briefly retains echoes of hostile intent to detect follow-up maneuvers or ambushes.
• Silent Alert Protocols: Transmits alerts directly to pilot's neural HUD or ship systems without audible or light-based signals, ideal for stealth.

• Corruption Based Detection: Interprets subtle environmental disruptions, like micro-shifts in gravitational tension, air pressure, or corrupted movement traces, that often precede ambush or high-speed approach vectors. While it cannot see stealthed units, it can generate preemptive evasive cues based on the tension their presence disturbs, granting a brief edge before visual confirmation is possible.
• Precognitive Simulation: Simulates the effect of dark foresight by bleeding predictive data from space-time resonance and projecting likely trajectories milliseconds ahead.
• Neural and System Integration: Compatible with Sith neural links, Nightglass Visors, or droid-based starfighter cores, allowing direct-to-core reflex enhancements.

• Force Nullification: Effectiveness significantly weakened under force nullification effects.
• Overload Risk in Force Dense Areas: Can suffer signal bleed or predictive distortion in regions overwhelmed by conflicting dark currents, such as battlefields saturated in Force activity.
• Dark Interface Requirement: System alignment with non-dark side aligned users often results in synaptic pain, hallucinations, or nervous rejection.

The Wraith-Sense Threat Processing Unit Mk. I is the culmination of decades of Sith research into dark predictive response technology. Unlike Jedi precognition, this system does not rely on meditation or intuition, it rips understanding from realspace. Developed by Malsheem Hypernautics under directive from the Shadow Mind Conclave, it was engineered to give Kainate pilots the edge in the moment before the first shot is fired.

The device's core is a pain-calcinated biocrystal, alchemically tormented until it became reactive to ambient shifts in kinetic pressure, dark thought, and hostility. Surrounding it are sensory mycelium threads, twitching filaments that pulse with data when trauma enters their range. These microfilaments plug into a ship's nervous system, or a pilot's, transmitting warnings not in sound or light, but in sensation: a spike of dread, the twisting of gut, the sting of incoming death.

Functioning like a dark sixth sense, the unit not only reacts to immediate threats but "remembers" patterns. If an enemy has fired from a hidden angle once, the unit will remember and flag similar encroachments. This phantom retention feature makes it invaluable against ambushers, cloaked craft, or enemy aces. Despite its brilliance, the system's reliance on dark sensitivity means it is easily disrupted by nullification. Force Nullification can significantly weaken its overall effectiveness. But when functioning in proper conditions, the Wraith-Sense Unit is not simply a sensor. It is an instinct forged in metal, a second consciousness that whispers the shape of death before it strikes.

In the doctrine of the Kainate, where every second of reaction time can determine the victor between Sith and prey, this is not luxury, it is ritual necessity.
