Shadow Hand


- Intent: To create a unique Sith linked command system that binds a Sith commander to their vessel's systems through a ritual-psychic interface, allowing instinctive reaction to damage and battlefield conditions.

- Shadow Mind
- Affiliation:
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: Oblivion Cortex Relay Mk. I
- Modularity: No (The system must be directly attuned to a Sith Force-sensitive and is forged uniquely per ship)
- Production: Limited
- Material:
- Encased Sith Blackstone Matrix
- Alchemized Neural Lattice
- Bloodsteel Sync-Nerves
- Psychometric Amplification Relays
- Ritual Circuitry

- Neural-Sorcery Interface: Links the commander's nervous system to the ship's architecture through alchemized conduits, enabling the vessel's pain and stress to be felt as physical sensations.
- Reflexive Response Protocols: Incoming damage triggers automatic responses, power rerouting, shield deployment, evasive maneuvers, without conscious input from the user.
- Pain-Empowered Calibration: The deeper the vessel suffers, the tighter the commander's bond becomes, enhancing command speed, system awareness, and battlefield synergy.
- Force Conduit Integration: The relay acts as a dark side amplifier, linking the commander's suffering and the ship's damage to Sith rituals and abilities. The more pain the vessel endures, the more power is available to channel into dark side effects, allowing the commander to weaponize torment itself during battle.
- Death-Pulse Feedback: In moments of extreme peril or imminent destruction, the system can emit a wave of psychic backlash, stunning boarding parties, Force intruders, or even attempting to repel spiritual possession.

- Instinctive Command Reflexes: Ship reactions are nearly instantaneous due to the bonded connection, allowing split-second decision-making and damage countermeasures.
- Force-Based System Awareness: Allows the commander to sense anomalies, breaches, or force threats that would otherwise go unnoticed by conventional systems.
- Heightened Combat Synergy: When paired with a Dark Side Force user, the ship becomes an extension of their body and will, dramatically improving battlefield coordination.

- Force Sensitivity Required: The system is completely inoperable without a trained Sith Force user bonded to the relay.
- Neural Trauma Risk: Severe damage to the ship may cause psychic overload to the commander, resulting in unconsciousness, madness, or death.
- Force Nullification Vulnerability: In Force dead zones or under Voidstone interference, the relay shuts down, severing the commander's link and disabling reflexive protocols.
- Limited User Base: Must be custom attuned to the individual Sith user. Cannot be swapped between commanders or reused without extensive ritual recalibration.

The Oblivion Cortex Relay Mk. I is one of the most intimate, and terrifying creations in the arsenal of the Kainate. Forged through alchemy and ritual in the sacred halls of Malsheem, the relay was designed to transcend the cold limitations of conventional control systems. It does not merely connect a Sith to their vessel, it binds them, body and soul. Installed deep within a Sith warship's sanctum, the relay consists of psychometric relays, pain-linked neural threads, and sorcerous latticework infused with bloodsteel and ritual logic.
Once bonded, the ship becomes a second body: its hull becomes skin, its engines breath, its wounds agony. When the vessel suffers, the Sith feels it, down to the microfracture. This suffering fuels the bond, allowing the commander to react with pure instinct. Shields rise in anticipation of damage. Power reroutes to where it's needed. Ritual defenses ignite at the first trace of psychic intrusion. The ship no longer follows commands, it responds as an extension of the Sith's will.
But this power comes with cost. The bond is painful. It is dangerous. And if the ship is destroyed… the Sith might be destroyed with it. Only the strongest Sith, those who embrace agony and transcend flesh, can survive the Relay. For those few who can, the reward is sublime: A warship that lives, breathes, and bleeds in perfect harmony with its master.
