SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Oversight and Administration
    • Kinetic Flow Computer Brain Module
      • A dedicated, high-speed computer brain that translates sensor data into commands for the tractor-pressor projector array. Its computational power is entirely devoted to predicting airflow patterns and orchestrating the trillions of micro-adjustments required per second.
      • Subprocessor Modules
  • Information Storage and Processing
  • Power Systems
  • Data and Information Security
  • Control and Linking Systems
  • Tractor-Pressor Projector Array
    • The heart of the system. The tractor-pressor projector array is the array of projectors set in various points within the vehicle’s structure. Each projector can switch between and/or simultaneously generate microscopic tractor and pressor fields trillions of times per second, creating the dynamic force field matrix that manages the airflow.
  • Aero-Profile Sensor Array
    • The Aero-Profile Sensor Array (APSA) is a critical subsystem of the Active Airflow Management System (AAMS), responsible for providing real-time data on the aerodynamic environment around the vehicle.
      • Passive Temperature Sensors
        • Monitors the skin temperature of the vehicle. Aerodynamic friction causes heating, so temperature maps can indirectly indicate airflow patterns, energy dissipation, and the effectiveness of the AAMS's cooling effect.
      • Passive Pressure Sensor Array
        • Measures static and dynamic pressure distribution over the vehicle's surface. Crucial for identifying areas of high drag, turbulence, or potential flow separation.
      • Passive Shear Stress Sensors
        • Directly measures the skin friction drag caused by airflow moving across the hull. This provides the AAMS with feedback on the effectiveness of its drag-reduction efforts.
      • Passive Anemometric Sensor Grid
        • Measures air velocity and direction at thousands of points across the vehicle's surface. These sensors detect minute changes in airflow speed and angle, providing data for the system to adjust tractor/pressor fields instantaneously.
      • Passive Air Density Sensor Grid
      • Passive Airflow Sensor Grid
        • Provides multi-dimensional data on airflow direction and magnitude at key locations. This is vital for managing complex vortices.
      • Passive Laminar-Turbulent Transition Detectors
        • Identifies the precise location where smooth (laminar) airflow becomes chaotic (turbulent). This allows the AAMS to proactively target and neutralize turbulence at its source.
      • Sensor Fusion Subprocessor
        • The core "brain" of the APSA. It correlates, filters, and processes raw data from all other sensors to build a unified, real-time model of the aerodynamic environment.
  • Operational Effects and Performance Characteristics
    • Near-Total Drag Negation
      • By preventing turbulent airflow and managing boundary layer separation, the Active Airflow Management System (AAMS) reduces aerodynamic drag by over ~98%. This eliminates the primary physical constraint on atmospheric speed, allowing the vehicle's top velocity to be limited only by its engine thrust and structural integrity.
    • Augmented Repulsorlift Efficiency
      • Micro-tractor/pressor fields generated by the AAMS pre-condition the air. As a repulsorlift activates to initiate a maneuver, the tractor-pressor projector array preemptively pushes the air molecules into a denser, more coherent "platform". This makes the repulsorlift's action dramatically more efficient and powerful. A minor repulsorlift input results in a massive, instantaneous maneuver.
    • Counter-Force Elimination
      • Under normal conditions, when a repulsorlift pushes down on the left wing to roll right, it creates massive drag and an upward pressure on that wing, fighting the intended motion. The AAMS negates this reactive force. Instead, as the repulsorlift pushes down on the left wing, the following happens:
        • Tractor fields are projected on the top of the left wing, pulling air away from the rising surface to prevent a high-pressure zone from forming.
        • Pressor fields are projected on the bottom of the left wing, pushing air into the repulsorlift's field to augment the downward force.
        • The projector array simultaneously creates a low-pressure pocket on the right wing, "sucking" that wing up to assist the roll.
      • As a result, the AAMS actively engages the atmosphere to assist in a given maneuver, turning the air from an adversary to an accomplice.
    • Dragless Maneuvering Capability
      • On a repulsorlift-dependent vehicle that may or may not lack control surfaces (such as most common starfighters and airspeeders), the FAE/S-17 not only enhances maneuverability, but it also fundamentally revolutionizes it by transforming clumsy, brute-force shovinginto graceful, physics-defying movement.
        • Pivot Turn Capability
          • The vehicle can quite literally pivot around its own center of mass. Repulsorlifts on one side fire forward while those on the opposite side fire backward, with the AAMS managing the airflow to prevent the craft from spinning out. It can change its facing 180 degrees without changing its direction of travel.
        • Instantaneous Translation
          • The fighter can slide laterally, vertically, or diagonally without ever changing the direction its nose is pointing. It can perform such maneuvers while maintaining combat speeds, making its movements utterly unpredictable.
        • Zero-Energy Turn Capability
          • Because the system manages energy retention so effectively, the fighter does not bleed speed in a turn. It can enter and exit a high-G turn with negligible energy loss, presenting a terrifying tactical advantage.
        • Post-"Stall" Maneuvering
          • The concept of a stall becomes irrelevant. The vehicle can fly sideways, backwards, or even "face" a pursuing enemy while continuing on its original vector, all while maintaining full control and power.
    • Control Surface Synergy and Force Multiplication
      • Atmospheric Pre-Processing
        • Before a control surface moves, the AAMS will have already fundamentally altered the surrounding medium.
          • Airflow Cleaning
            • The AAMS's network of micro-tractor/pressor beams actively "combs" the air, breaking up turbulent, high-energy air molecules and organizing them into a smooth, predictable, laminar flow. This ensures that the air arriving at the control surface is pre-stabilized.
          • Energy Management
            • The AAMS actively manages the energy of the incoming airstream. It can use pressor beams to dissipate energy from a high-speed flow or tractor beams to energize a sluggish one, ensuring the air hitting the control surfaces is at the ideal pressure and velocity for them to be effective.
      • Augmented Control Authority
        • The AAMS works in synergy with control surfaces and multiplies their effect. When an aileron deflects to initiate a roll, the tractor-pressor projector(s) on that wing not only manage the overall flow, but they also actively reinforce the control surface's action.
          • On the down-going wing, the projector(s) behind the aileron switch to a stronger tractor mode, pulling additional air over the surface to increase lift.
          • On the up-going wing, the projector(s) switch to a pressor mode, actively pushing air away from the top of the wing to decrease lift further.
          • The result is a roll rate that is faster, crisper, and requires less physical deflection of the control surface itself, reducing mechanical stress.
      • Stall Prevention
        • In conventional flight, a control surface deflected too far will cause the airflow to separate, making it useless and resulting in a stall.
          • The AAMS eliminates this concept. If a surface deflects to an angle that would cause separation, the projector(s) use powerful, targeted tractor beams to literally "grab" the boundary layer of air and force it to remain attached to the surface.
          • This allows for controlled flight at angles of attack that are otherwise aerodynamically impossible. The vehicle can point its nose in one direction while traveling in another, enabling insane, seemingly physics-defying turns and maneuvers that would rip a standard frame apart.
      • Virtual Control Surface Generation
        • One of the AAMS's most advanced functions is its ability to create aerodynamic effects where no physical surface exists. The projector array can project a complex tractor/pressor field beyond the physical edges of the wings or body. This field can mimic the shape and function of a control surface.
          • Dynamic Geometry
            • In a high-speed turn, the computer can project a virtual canard off the nose to pull the vehicle into the turn or a virtual winglet to manage vortices. The craft's effective aerodynamic shape becomes fluid, dynamically morphing in real-time to suit the precise need of the maneuver.
          • Damage Compensation
            • If a physical control surface is shot away, the AAMS can immediately project a "phantom" surface in its place—a shaped force field that approximates the missing surface's function. While not as efficient as the real thing, it provides critical redundancy, allowing the pilot to retain control and return to base.
    • “Kinetic Grip” Effect
      • A secondary function where the projector array grid activates minute tractor or pressor fields against or opposite the directional of travel. This provides minor supplemental acceleration or deceleration force, dampening inertial forces on the pilot and vehicle frame during extreme velocity changes.
        • Acceleration
          • Acceleration with the “Kinetic Grip” Effect acts with five main components and stages:
            1. Activation: A fraction of a second before the main engines hit full power, the tractor-pressor projectors project a minute, wide-aperture tractor beam anchored to the relatively stationary mass of the space in the intended direction of travel.
            2. “Pull” on Spacetime: This tractor field effectively creates a "handhold" on the fabric of spacetime itself. It applies a gentle, constant pulling force (F_tractor) on the entire vehicle forward.
            3. Engine(s) Fire: The main engines fire. The total force accelerating the vehicle is now F_thrust + F_tractor.
            4. Non-Inertial: The F_tractor component is non-inertial. It acts on the vehicle's entire structure uniformly and simultaneously. It doesn't generate force by pushing against an internal component (like an engine does). Because the field grips the entire ship frame at once, the structure begins moving more as a single, cohesive unit.
            5. Reduced G-Force: The pilot still feels G-forces, but they are significantly lower. The sensation is less of being "slammed" backwards and more of the entire universe gently "leaning" forward. The vehicle's acceleration feels smoother and more natural.
          • In analogical terms, accelerating with the “Kinetic Grip” Effect is akin to a person standing on a skateboard and accelerating by pulling on a rope attached to a fixed point in front of them. By contrast, accelerating with a standard vehicle that is not equipped with the AAMS is akin to having a partner behind the person on the skateboard (standard vehicle/engine). The rope pull is more controlled and exerts force evenly across the skateboarder’s body, while the push is more jarring and localized.
        • Deceleration
          • Deceleration with the “Kinetic Grip” Effect acts with four main components and stages:
            1. Activation: To brake, the tractor-pressor projectors project a pressor beam anchored against the mass of the space in the present direction of travel.
            2. “Push” on Spacetime: This pressor field acts like an invisible cushion of energy forming in front of the fighter. It applies a pushing force (F_pressor) against the direction of travel.
            3. Smooth Resistance: This force begins to slow the entire vehicle structure uniformly before mechanical brakes or reverse thrusters fully engage.
            4. Reduced Negative G-Force: The pilot is pressed forward into their harness much more gently. The pressor field absorbs and dissipates the energy of deceleration across the entire hull, rather than letting it translate directly into whiplash for the occupant.
        • It should be noted that the “Kinetic Grip” Effect is not a true inertial compensator. The "Kinetic Grip" Effect is a supplemental application of the AAMS that dampens or reduces G-forces, but does not entirely eliminate them during extreme maneuvers.
    • Signature Management
      • The system drastically reduces sensor cross-section by scattering incoming energy within the turbulent force field envelope. Visually, the vehicle may appear shrouded in an intense, shimmering haze that distorts its outline in a manner akin to an optical shield, providing a significant degree of visual disruption.
      • Anti-Distortion Field
        • The visual distortion can be “cleansed” by synchronizing the projectors to create a single, coherent, macro-scale field that smoothly guides the air in a unified, laminar sheet. Instead of trillions of individual pushes and pulls, the projectors work in harmony to generate a perfectly stable "sheath" of manipulated air. The density gradient between this sheath and the surrounding air is so smooth that it bends light in a uniform, predictable way, resulting in minimal visible distortion.
    • Predictive Kinesthetic Synchronization
      • The AAMS can be integrated into open-air, rider-controlled vehicles such as speeder bikes, jetpacks, hoverboards, repulsorlift skates, and similar such craft. In this capacity, the system functions as a kinetic partner that works in synchrony with the operator.
        • Neural-Kinetic Array
          • The sensor array is augmented with a suite of sensors dedicated solely to the pilot, intended to track and anticipate their physical movements. This creates a neural-sensor interface. The sensor types are as follows:
            • Symbiotic Interface
            • Motion Sensor Array
            • Pressure Sensor Array
            • Biometric Monitors
              • These measure muscle tension, nerve impulse (via myoelectric sensors), heart rate, and other biometrics.
        • Predictive Kinematics Subprocessor
          • Combines the data from the aerodynamic APSA (what the air is doing) with the data from the neural-kinetic sensors (what the rider is doing). The subprocessor cross-references this real-time data against a vast library of maneuver profiles. The system activates the tractor-pressor projectors a fraction of a second before the vehicle itself physically begins to turn. It doesn't wait for the turn to happen; it makes the turn happen in response to the rider's body.
        • "Bail-Out" Protocol
          • If the system detects a catastrophic loss of control or an imminent collision, it can override the rider/pilot. It does this by projecting maximum pressor fields in a specific configuration to arrest momentum and steer the vehicle (and rider) toward the least-dangerous impact vector.
STRENGTHS
  • Atmospheric Dominance: Dramatically increases top speed and fuel efficiency by reducing aerodynamic drag by more than 98%, shifting the performance limit from drag to raw engine thrust.
  • Unmatched Maneuverability: Enables physics-defying maneuvers such as pivot turns, instantaneous lateral translations, and post-stall flight, making the vehicle exceptionally difficult to target and track. In addition, unlike a standard fighter and vehicle which shows signs of an impending hard turn—wing contrails, control surfaces deflecting, a loss of speed—the AAMS-equipped fighter/vehicle gives no such warning. Its turns are instantaneous and without aerodynamic penalty.
  • Super Endurance: A vehicle/fighter equipped with the AAMS can stay on-station, patrolling at high speeds, for vastly longer durations than conventional vehicles since it does not waste fuel fighting drag. It can dictate the terms of engagement, choosing when and where to fight.
  • Stable Launch Platform: The vehicle experiences no buffeting or drag at extreme speeds. This makes it an incredibly stable gun and missile platform, increasing accuracy at long range.
  • Integrated Defense: The turbulent force field envelope lowers the sensor profile by scattering incoming sensor waves and creating a persistent visual distortion. While this does not encompass true, perfect stealth, it quite significantly lowers the range at which the vehicle can be detected.
  • System Synergy: Dramatically augments the effectiveness of both repulsorlifts and physical control surfaces, increasing their response time and authority while reducing mechanical wear and energy bleed.
WEAKNESSES
  • Power Hungry: The AAMS places an immense and constant drain on the vehicle's power core. It demands an advanced, super-grade power plant to sustain its energy demands. Without this, sustained use at maximum performance could necessitate diverting power from weapons or shields.
  • Ion Vulnerability: The complex, sensitive electronics and field projectors are susceptible to ion and EMP damage if left unprotected. A successful ion strike can disable the AAMS, potentially causing an immediate and potentially catastrophic return to full aerodynamic drag.
  • Computational Dependency: The system's performance is entirely reliant on the Kinetic Flow Computer. Any damage, corruption, or subversion of this core processor will render the AAMS inoperative.
  • Particulate Sensitivity: While the system manages air, it is slightly less effective against solid or liquid particulates. Flying through heavy rain, dust storms, or debris clouds can moderately lower the field's efficiency.
DESCRIPTION
Designed by First United Astral Engineering, the FAE/S-17 Active Airflow Management System is an airflow/medium management system designed primarily to effectively remove atmospheric drag, enabling previously impossible atmospheric speeds and physics-defying performance. Likely the very first system of its kind, the AAMS leverages tractor and pressor fields to manipulate airflow, creating optimal aerodynamic conditions around the craft at all times. In doing so, it effectively removes the concept of a stall, revolutionizing the maneuvers that a vehicle/fighter is capable of executing in atmosphere.

The AAMS is intended to supplant the “aerodynamically shaped particle shields” that First United Astral Engineering used previously, which were more brute force in their application. In this, the AAMS is a far more elegant, precise solution, which not only “clears” the airflow but also actively leverages it to enhance maneuvers.

In all, the AAMS is hoped to significantly enhance the atmospheric performance of First United Astral Engineering-supported vehicles and fighters beyond anything created by rival designers. In this, the system has the potential to create a terrifying overmatch. Vehicles equipped with the AAMS can achieve velocities and maneuverability profiles once considered theoretically impossible, opening a decisive tactical advantage and creating a significant performance gap against virtually any conventionally designed opponent.

    • Mk. V Flexibility Enhancement
    • Dynamic Traction Node Array
      • Traction grip nodes composed of programmable microstructures (nano-scale articulated filaments) are embedded just beneath the suit’s outer layer on the palms, forearms, and soles At rest, these nodes sit flush. However, when engaged, the nodes reconfigure their texture in milliseconds, changing from smooth to high-friction grip patterns tuned to the surface beneath. Passive micro-sensors in the palms, forearms, and soles continuously scan texture, hardness, and thermal conductivity of whatever they touch, to identify the surface type. Profiles include ice (microscopic spike protrusions), polished alloy (micro-suction and gecko-inspired molecular adhesion), loose gravel (splayed, high-surface area treads), and yet more. After contact, the programmable surface resets back to smooth mode, shedding dirt, ice, or debris automatically. Self-cleaning transpires via vibrational micro-displacement, preventing buildup that would compromise performance.
      • The traction grip nodes can bias their friction in one direction, allowing for active grip enhancement.
    • FAE/C-03 BioMedical Support System
      • Life support and medisensor / bioscanner functions only.
      • Triple-Layer Thermal Regulation System
        • The suit features a sealed, closed-loop thermal regulation system that augments the wearer’s natural body heat regulation with advanced heat capture and recycling. A skin-contact microcapillary mesh draws heat from muscles and vessels, transferring it to a phase-change buffer layer that stores it as latent energy. Excess heat is then converted into electrical power via thermoelectric cells, which provides additional power to the suit’s energy capacitors. A non-evaporating thermal fluid circulates through the suit like a second vascular network, cooling hotspots before recirculating.
        • In cold conditions, the suit can reverse thermal flow, releasing stored heat back into the body. It equalizes temperature across core and extremities, harvesting even minimal ambient heat and maintaining a stable skin microclimate. If no heat is banked, the suit taps into the energy capacitors, converting energy into heat for warmth.
      • Liquid Reclamation System
        • The suit absorbs, reclaims, and reuses the wearer’s evaporation sweat mist and ionically conductive microfilm, harvesting the latter’s electrostatic charge for power. An anti-microbial, self-cleaning inner lining keeps the suit sterile and dry for long missions. The skin-contact layer is slightly pressurized, encouraging sweat & mist to wick outward naturally into the absorption network. This maintains a stable microclimate against the skin, preventing discomfort or pruney skin from long-term use.

    • Self-Repair System - Programmable Matter
    • Cybersecurity Suite
    • Magnetic Equipment Attachment Strips
    • D-Baffling System
  • Exoskeletal Spinal Interface
    • Spinal interface acts as a load-bearing conduit, reducing strain on the spine during high-G maneuvers or rapid vector changes. It aids in reinforcing spine and core musculature, improving strength, stability, and endurance. The device contains reactive polymers and nano-hydraulics that additionally enhance sprinting, climbing, wall-running, and sustained high-speed pursuit. The interface is linked to the user via the Ghost Link, ensuring a direct neural connection which effectively allows the interface to prime itself for movement almost before the wearer is fully conscious of it.

  • Velocity Redline: The Slipstream Zero is designed to enhance its wearer’s physical capabilities. Although it offers only a moderate augmentation to strength, its main function is in lowering the energy cost for physical exertions (namely running, sprinting, climbing, wall-running, etc.) and allowing for markedly increased stamina. In addition, the Ghost Link allows the wearer to control virtually all of the suit's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. This system provides further mental enhancement via the suit itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power from the onboard computer. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.
  • Skin Shield: In spite of its predominantly skintight construction, the Slipstream Zero offers excellent resistance to energy and kinetic weapons, in addition to a high resistance to directed heat attacks. Estrian-ostrine composite armorweave, gammaplast armor padding, the miniaturized intrinsic shield array, and other systems all work together to lend the wearer excellent protection against these common battlefield threats.
  • Mind Shield: A Force shield integrated into the helmet provides excellent resistance against mental attacks, protecting the integrity of the mind against mentalism and other forms of Force intrusion.
  • Low Profile: The bodysuit has a greatly-diminished observation profile owing to its camouflage and polymer coatings, while the D-baffling system renders it nearly dead silent. Both of these systems lower the overall signature, but they do not offer true stealth capability or invisibility. Instead, they serve to make the suit and its wearer more difficult to distinguish from the surrounding environment, harder to track, and less readily detectable.
  • Spine Surge: Achieved via energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the suit and an exoskeletal spinal interface, the Slipstream Zero gives the wearer a twofold strength enhancement. In addition, the Ghost Link allows her to control virtually all of the suit's functions and attached subsystems via mental command. The Ghost Link provides further mental enhancement via the suit itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power from the onboard computers. Thus, the suit enhances the user both physically and mentally.
  • Storm Chaser: The Slipstream Zero is EMP-hardened and ion-reinforced, ensuring that its systems retain their integrity and functionality even during conditions of heavy ionized and electromagnetic interference.
QF94b2S.png

  • Acerbic Affliction: Unfortunately, acid weapons are very effective at eating through the bodysuit’s protective material to harm the wearer directly, potentially inflicting a host of dangerous effects.
  • Tensor: While optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the bodysuit’s defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury.
  • Shield Projector Fragility: The Slipstream Zero is a high-tech bodysuit that depends in large part on its electronics for its defensive prowess. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the suit’s ability to protect the wearer will suffer in turn. In such a case, the miniaturized intrinsic shield array might suffer malfunction. Since this system is a linchpin to the bodysuit’s resistance against disruptors (the protective material by itself is unable to adequately defend against this weapon type as solid materials can not be proofed against disruptors), these weapons will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.
  • Surface Damage: While the bodysuit’s equipped Dream Sight has an extremely advanced surface-integrated passive reception array, any direct damage to the surface may diminish the effectiveness of the system due to the destruction of a number of passive micro-sensors. This can result in blind spots in the passive reception array.
  • Deep Freeze: While the suit is rated to protect the wearer from all environments (including arctic planets the likes of Hoth and Ilum), it unfortunately does not grade well in terms of defense against cold-based weaponry. That is to say that the biting, freezing power of cryogenic weapon systems is far more penetrating than that presented by cold environments. Thus, the wearer must rely on other means of protection should she come to face these weapons.

Designed by First United Astral Engineering (with input from the Vorrik Armatech subsidiary of Malsheem Hypernautics and Manufacturing), the Slipstream Zero Exoskin Mk. I is a limited production combat exoskin designed for the exclusive use of Pursuit Zeros. Synergizing with the hyperaugmented Pursuit Zero physiology, the Slipstream Zero is designed to enhance mobility, endurance, survivability, utility, low-observability, and lethality while supporting the high-speed combat style that Pursuit Zeros are optimized for. To this end, First United Astral Engineering developed a number of new systems for the bodysuit, designed to enhance mobility and thermal regulation.

The most notable and important of these systems is the thermal regulation system, which can recycle and repurpose the wearer’s body heat, ensuring optimal thermal balance even in extreme conditions. The other is the dynamic traction node array, which was developed to ensure that rough and complex terrain does not impede high-speed movement. Utilizing programmable matter traction grip nodes, these units automatically shift their texture based on the terrain, optimizing grip and traction.

All in all, the Slipstream Zero is essentially an intelligent second skin, allowing Pursuit Zeros to maintain peak sprinting speed for longer and press the chase against the enemies of the Sith Dyarchy!

  • Locked Assembly: By default, the Faithful Heart is configured as a Class-D disruptor sniper rifle. It can not be reverted back to its stock variant without advanced disassembly in a workshop environment.
  • Smart Optics Pod: Integrated with Fourth Legion battle net AI for predictive tracking, variable zoom, thermal, motion tagging, and encrypted drone relay feed.
  • Uprated Pulse-Weighted Plasma Coils: Fires high-cohesion, micro-cavitating, hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor bolts that retain stability over extreme range; able to punch through virtually all superheavy and advanced-grade battlefield armor systems.
  • Uprated Hybrid Rail Assist: Optional coil-assisted launch system gives shots railgun-like velocity for shield-breaking or anti-materiel roles.
  • Adjustable Stabilization Stock: Reinforced recoil-absorbing buttstock with servo-hydraulic dampening, deployable monopod, and positional lock for suit integration.
  • Targeting Relay Uplink: Syncs with nearby Legion units to designate, prioritize, and share targets in real time, creating dynamic crossfire advantages.
  • Corrosive-Tolerant Chassis: Coated to resist acid rain, dust, cryo-exposure, extreme heat and high-radiation conditions common to deployments.
  • Uprated Neural Reflex Trigger Port: Optional combat neural link allows fire-by-thought/command interface with virtually no latency.
  • Zero-Profile Heat Dumping: Internal plasma decay is rerouted through cloaked pulse vents, eliminating thermal bloom and sniper counter-sensors.
  • Null-Profile Bolt Suppression: The bolt is fired as a quasi-stable, low-radiation pulse with a self-contained energy signature, releasing its full waveform only after impact. In electromagnetic terms, the bolt appears cold and dark, with no telltale surge or ionization trail. As a result, the bolt is effectively invisible to sensors until immediately after the moment of impact, allowing it to reliably counter and offset anti-disruptor countermeasures (and various other anti-energy weapon countermeasures) that rely on sensor detection.
  • Terentatek Hide Integration: The Faithful Heart’s critical internal systems are lined with thin terentatek hide sheets. Ultra-thin terentatek hide microfibers are woven into insulation and wiring jackets, integrating Force-resistance into the weapon’s electrical architecture.
  • Collapsing Mirrors: The Faithful Heart can be collapsed down to less than half of its typical (uncollapsed) size and weight—a smaller and lighter most often used for storage or transport.
  • StabiliGat™ Recoil Reduction Module
  • Optional Silencer
  • Optional Bipod
  • Blaster Gas Mask
  • Magnatomic Adhesion Grip
  • Combat De-Ionization System
  • Autosteady-Gyro Gimbal
  • Stun Setting

  • Heaven Striker: Devastatingly accurate at extreme range; its Class-D disruptor bolts make it a true marksman's weapon with destructive anti-armor capability. With its modifications from the stock variant, the Faithful Heart is capable of inflicting atomic deletion on its targets. Each high-cohesion, micro-cavitating, hyper-ionized bolt is produced by an ultra-dense, nonharmonic Ethaerium gas solution, giving the sufficient power to dematerialize exotic materials the likes of beskar, phrik, neuranium, ultra-dense organic carapace and other similarly resilient materials with a single shot. The bolt also strikes with a savage amount of kinetic force, with the potential to shatter bones, rupture organs, rattle components, blow out body cavities, and throw targets off their feet even in the event that annihilation or penetration fails. Finally, the explosive effects of the bolt renders it generally impractical to defend against with a lightsaber.
  • Battle Net Integration: Links seamlessly with Legion AI relays, drones, and other Shrike units to dominate entire zones of fire.
  • Anti-Shield Capable: The Shrike's hybrid rail-coil system can destabilize enemy energy shielding at range. In addition, the hyper-ionized nature of the bolt gives it the potential to overload energy shields in a manner akin to an electromagnetic pulse.
  • Devotion as Armor: Anti-EMP and Ion measures are present in the form of agrinium reinforcement electronic hardening and a combat de-ionization system, allowing the weapon to feasibly resist high-energy electromagnetic discharges or quickly return to function in the event that it is compromised. In addition, the Faithful Heart is modified with integrated terentatek hide, providing resistance to the Force.
  • Litany of Silence: A reactive photonic mesh coating makes the Faithful Heart extremely discreet, rendering it very difficult, if not impossible to pick up on sensors or scanners, while adding adaptive camouflage capability. The weapon is also equipped with an advanced null-profile bolt suppression system. In this, the bolt is discharged as a quasi-stable, low-radiation pulse with a self-contained energy signature. As a result, the bolt has effectively zero sensor signature when in-flight, making the weapon a reliable counter anti-disruptor and anti-energy weapon countermeasures that rely on sensor detection to activate. In addition, when utilizing Ethaerium X gas cartridges, the bolts fired by the rifle are nigh-invisible, effectively eliminating muzzle flash. All of these features combined (with the addition of the silencer to quiet the weapon at the point of the shooter) make the rifle so stealthy that it is often nigh-impossible to pick out the location of the shooter.

  • Heavy and Specialized: Like the stock variant, the Faithful Heart is not suited to general purpose use cases due primarily to its weight and large frame. It is generally unwieldy and inconvenient to use in close-quarters.
  • Limited Magazine Capacity: In order to augment the Faithful Heart’s power for conversion into a disruptor, capacity was sacrificed. As a result, under sustained (or undisciplined) use in a typical lightfight, reloads may be frequent and at times, wholly inconvenient.
  • Significant Heat Load: Repeated shots build internal heat rapidly; the weapon must cool between bursts to avoid destabilization or cell overload.
  • Storm Surge: As the Faithful Heart utilizes a coil-assisted launch to fire, it is susceptible to EMP and Ion-based assaults. An overload could result in the weapon being significantly attenuated in power and muzzle velocity due to the plasma rails being impaired or even the weapon itself being outright disabled—the latter being a potentiality should it be hit by a powerful ionizing discharge that overcomes its defenses.

"One shot, one kill."

A precision instrument in a world that no longer tolerates imprecision, the ARX-16 "Shrike" is a hybrid marksman platform engineered not for flexibility, but for judgment.

Designed in the polar shadows of the Black Vault Annex on Mygeeto, the Shrike was never intended to see mass deployment. It was made for those few Legion operatives trusted to think independently—to move ahead of the line, evaluate the threat landscape, and make irreversible decisions at range.

Unlike standard plasma rifles, the Shrike's hybrid coil-launch system fires magnetically sheathed plasma slugs at such high velocity that kinetic and thermal energy converge at impact. The result is rarely survivable. A single shot can disable relay nodes, breach composite plating, or remove key targets from the tactical equation entirely—without alerting nearby sensors, thanks to its integrated heat-dump architecture.

Every component is mission-coded and overengineered: adaptive optics tuned for drone relay feeds, self-calibrating rails, neural uplink triggers, smart suppressors, corrosive-sealed mounts. The Shrike is not pretty. It is not forgiving. It is not replaceable. But in the right hands, it is the end of uncertainty.

In Legion doctrine, Shrike-wielders are referred to as Judges—not snipers, not marksmen, not support. They do not suppress. They terminate.

A lethal vessel of devotion and worship to the Dark Queen, the Faithful Heart is an extreme-range, precision instrument designed to manifest its wielder’s zeal to devastating, hyper-lethal effect. Upon being issued a stock ARX-16 “Shrike” Modular Rifle, Rowena began working to modify to better fit her operational needs as a sniper. Thus, the completed, modified version—the Faithful Heart—contains a suite of systems to enhance its efficacy, encompassing stealth systems, utility features, and conversion systems which make it into a Class-D disruptor.

Discharging a hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor bolt, the Faithful Heart deals damage via a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock (kinetic energy) and the searing release of unstable, nonharmonic disruptor energy which can excite and destabilize matter on the atomic level to produce extreme atomic obliteration capable of vaporizing virtually all types of materials (including heavy armor). The bolt’s hyper-ionized characteristics allow it to disrupt electronics and overload personal, vehicle, and even small emplacement-grade energy shields in the manner of an electromagnetic pulse. Of particular significance, the bolt has an explosive effect upon connecting with a shield or solid object, including energy fields and notably, lightsabers.

The Faithful Heart is effective against a wide range of targets. The weapon’s sheer disruptive energy, focused by the uprated plasma coils, makes it a formidable anti-materiel rifle. Effective against armored vehicles and starships, the bolt can compromise the molecular bonds of durasteel, beskar, phrik, and other types of advanced armor plating. While it may not vaporize an entire tank, a precisely placed shot can potentially blow a fist-sized hole through its hull, potentially disabling critical systems or eliminating the crew inside. It is also exceptionally effective against cockpit canopies and external sensor arrays.

In all, with the modifications made to the weapon, the Faithful Heart’s role has shifted from "precision elimination" to "strategic annihilation”. Its purpose is to engage and annihilate targets that are considered "unkillable" by any other means: Jedi Masters, regenerating horrors, and the most hardened of war machines. This ensures that Rowena’s devastating litanies of devotion can reach all targets, no matter their resistance to her message.
