Shadow Hand


- Intent: To design a special-production Sith interdictor gravity well generator that not only pulls ships from hyperspace, but warps spatial reality, subtly crushing maneuverability and damaging structural cohesion through alchemized gravitational distortion.

- False Singularity Wells: Creates artificial gravity wells capable of pulling ships from hyperspace.
- Spatial Distortion Field: Subtly warps localized space, causing targeting misalignment and sensor flickers.
- Hull Pressure Harmonics: Increases gravitational strain on trapped ships, stressing armor and internal systems.
- Ritualized Gravity Sink: Uses dark side rites to anchor and enhance the effect, distorting maneuverability and escape attempts.
- Reality Anchor Effect: Dampens minor teleportation, phase-shifting, or displacement abilities within its radius.
- Spellweave Relay Compatible: May synchronize with Sith ritual networks to amplify gravitational effect.
- Kainate Vessel Immunity: Through Sith identification rites and IFF-linked ritual encoding, Kainate ships are unaffected by the metaphysical suppression and gravitic strain within the Anvil's field.

- Enhanced Interdiction: Exceeds standard gravity well projectors by not only pulling ships but weakening structural and navigational integrity.
- Dark Side Synergy: Becomes significantly more powerful when near dark side nexuses, rituals, or areas rich in profound darkness infused tragedy.
- Maneuverability Crippler: Even after interdiction, affected vessels experience distorted flight paths, lagging controls, and sluggish maneuvering.
- Suppression Field: Weakens or prevents teleportation, cloaking, and phase-jump attempts in proximity.
- Dark Side Empowerment: Torpedoes grow more volatile in dark side-saturated regions or during active rituals.

- Extremely Power Hungry: Requires massive energy to operate at full capacity, limiting continuous use.
- Not a Weapon: Does not directly cause damage in a conventional sense like explosives or ship based weaponry.
- Heavy and Immobile: Requires fixed emplacement or a specialized support structure to mount and operate.
- Force Nullification: In void zones or Force-dead regions, the metaphysical effects are greatly weakened, reducing it to standard gravity well performance.
- Sensor Signature: Its operation emits extreme gravitational, and Force based ripples that are easily detectable from far away.

The Abyssal Gravity Anvil Mk. I represents the Kainate's alchemical evolution of standard gravity well technology. All part of the Shadow Hand Darth Prazutis's efforts to continually push the boundaries of what is possible, keeping the Kainate at the forefront o bleeding edge technology. Forged in ritual forges beneath Malsheem and embedded with voidshard lattice cores, this massive device not only performs standard hyperspace interdiction, but reshapes the very fabric of space around it.
When activated, the Anvil produces what appears to be a false singularity, a gravitational phantom that yanks starships violently from hyperspace. But the torment doesn't stop there. Spatial integrity collapses subtly within its field, degrading navigation systems, overwhelming inertial dampeners, and making ship control feel like dragging metal through sludge. Armor plating groans under metaphysical pressure, and metaphysical anchoring effects can suppress more esoteric methods of travel.
While it cannot destroy vessels on its own, its presence on the battlefield ensures prey cannot escape and suffer internal stress even before battle begins. Used on specialized interdictor platforms and within bastion systems like Nexul Station, the Abyssal Gravity Anvil is another tool of precision domination in the Kainate's arsenal.
