- Affiliation:
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: Ritual Convergence Network Mk. I
- Modularity: No
- Production: Semi-Unique
- Material:
- Alchemized Sarrassian Iron (Casing & internal lattice)
- Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone (Relay Nodes)
- Bloodsteel Conduits (Dark side signal conduits)
- Sacrificial Echo Circuits (Emotion-binding resonance enhancers)

- Sith Ritual Broadcast: Channels active Sith rituals through a localized dark side field to enhance allied ships.
- Lattice Resonance Synchronization: Syncs Sith commanders in range into a collective force-matrix, increasing ritual cohesion and strength.
- Darkside Field Multiplication: The more vessels present within range, the stronger the dark side effect across all connected ships.
- Ritual Surge Conduction: Allows momentary bursts of power during sith rituals, empowering ship systems (cloaking, targeting, shielding).
- Sympathetic Wound Link: If one vessel is damaged during a ritual surge, the pain can empower the ritual cast by others in the lattice.

- Amplified Ritual Power: Greatly enhances the effect and range of Sith rituals aboard connected ships.
- Fleet Synergy: The more Sith vessels equipped or linked, the more devastating the metaphysical impact.
- Force-Based Amplification Field: Empowers weapon systems and defenses relying on the dark side.

- Force-Null Vulnerability: Becomes inert when exposed to Voidstone or Ysalamiri influence.
- Requires Force Sensitives: Non-Force-sensitive vessels gain no benefit unless linked via Shadow Mind Integration Nodes.
- Exposed Ritual Signature: Makes the fleet more visible to Force-sensitive scouts or Jedi seers during activation phases.

The Ritual Convergence Network Mk. I is a terrifying advancement in Sith fleet warfare, a metaphysical architecture born not of cold circuitry, but of blood rites, psychic resonance, and collective pain. Forged in the innermost sanctums of Malsheem's war foundries by the Shadow Mind Division and sanctified through ritual by Darth Prazutis himself, the system represents the culmination of a singular, dreadful vision: a Sith fleet that does not fight as many, but as one.
Where other navies rely on merely data transmission and fleet AI coordination, the Kainate takes this even further, and turns to the Force. The Ritual Convergence Network creates a Neural Synchronization Field that binds Sith commanded ships together through a lattice of suffering, will, and ritualistic connection. Pain felt aboard one ship becomes fuel for sorcery on another. A single spell cast in the heart of a ritual chamber can echo across the fleet, magnified in power by a dozen vessels harmonized through shared hatred and sacrifice. The core of the relay sits on a command ship, and all others contain nodes for the wider network.
At the core of each unit is a psychic relay matrix constructed from Sith Rune-Inscribed Blackstone and veined with Bloodsteel and Sacrificial Echo Conduits. These elements not only transmit metaphysical energy, but emotionally encode it—fear, rage, agony, all become signal. The more intense the combat, the more chaotic the battlefield, the more powerful the lattice becomes. This is not coordination; it is communion through darkness.
The system enables previously unthinkable tactics:
- A shielding ritual begun aboard a support frigate can manifest as ghostly barriers across dreadnoughts in range.
- A fear-inducing curse launched by a battlecruiser's occult division can cascade across enemy sensor screens via metaphysical relay.
- A dark firestorm invoked aboard the command vessel can erupt simultaneously from sith weapon systems across every node-linked ship.
In the black silence of space, when the ritual lattice is active, the Force itself begins to hum with malevolence. To enemy seers and Jedi mystics, the fleet does not appear as individual ships, but a single howling, dark-minded entity. When it speaks? It speaks through spellfire, shadow, or scream, it is the voice of the Kainate made whole.
