- Manufacturer:
- Darth Prazutis
- Shadow Mind
- Affiliation:
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: Hemophage Conductor Web Mk. I
- Modularity: Yes (Modular conduits and essence capture nodes can be adapted to ship layouts, but core function cannot be changed.)
- Production: Limited
- Material:
- Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
- Bloodsteel Conductors
- Dark Energetic Components
- Psychic Tether Nodes
- Internal Rune Matrix

- Lifeforce Conversion Grid: Harvests ambient death and suffering in nearby space and channels it into energy surges for use by the ship's reactor or dark side systems.
- Soul-Tether Anchors: Dark side nodes that attach to dying beings' spiritual essence and draw fragments of energy at a distance.
- Essence Relay Matrix: Transfers the harvested energy across a web-like conductor system into the core reactor or linked Force-powered systems.
- Dark Side Battery Sync: Pairs seamlessly with the Dark Core Reactor and Sacrifice-Fed Relay for exponential energy amplification.
- Battlefield Amplifier: In warzones or psychic catastrophes, its absorption rate drastically increases.

- Combat-Fed Power Supply: Grows stronger with each death nearby, turning the tide of battle into fuel for Sith systems.
- Force-Enhanced Systems: Energizes Sith technological systems such as Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Arrays, dark shields, and many other systems with increased potency.
- Psychic Drain: Weakens enemy Force sensitive and Non force sensitives subtly by absorbing fragments of their essence on death.

- Requires Death: System performs poorly in low-casualty environments or prolonged peace-time.
- Force Nullification: In Voidstone fields or Force-dead zones, its metaphysical elements are disabled and no energy can be harvested.
- Friendly Risk: If unshielded, it may accidentally draw on allied deaths or emotionally vulnerable Force sensitives nearby.

The Hemophage Conductor Web Mk. I is the Kainate's apex manifestation of power through death, a metaphysical webwork of siphoning conduits, psychospiritual tethers, and soul-draining filaments that turns the battlefield into a living battery. Forged in the crucibles of Malsheem under the directive of the Shadow Hand Darth Prazutis, this system threads its vampiric tendrils throughout a ship's internal infrastructure, weaving pain into power and agony into amplification. Unlike traditional reactor boosters or energy redistribution grids, the Hemophage Conductor Web does not rely on matter or plasma. It hunts essence. Through its Soul-Tether Anchors, it locks onto the psychic resonance of dying foes, grasping at the final echoes of their lifeforce and drawing it into Psychic Tether Nodes, where it is transmuted into dark, volatile energy. This energy is then distributed via Bloodsteel Conduits into the ship's most power-hungry systems, vastly augmenting their output and potential, greatly increasing the efficiency of vessels within the Shadow Armada..
Its true horror emerges during intense warfare. As dreadnoughts crack, soldiers scream, and Jedi perish, the web drinks deeper. It accelerates its harvesting, flooding the ship's dark tech with metaphysical charge until its decks vibrate with blackened might. Even nearby Force-sensitives feel the drain, a whisper in their bones, a chill in their soul, as if the web itself is watching, waiting, and remembering. Crew are trained to avoid it. Droids fear its hum, and among the Kainate, it is not just seen as a power system, it is a monument. A shrine to death as fuel, to suffering as strength. In this way, the Hemophage Conductor Web is not merely a system of war. It is the Kainate's belief made steel and blood, reaching out to crush the galaxy's last illusions of peace.
