• Affiliation:
  
  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Shadow Mind Integration Node Mk. I
• Modularity: No (Can only be integrated into vessels or installations with dedicated Shadow Mind infrastructure)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  • Bloodsteel Data Conduits
  • Encased Sith Blackstone Ritual Core
  • Spellweave Latticework
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Sheathing
  • Mechu-Deru Neural Imprints

• Sith Neural Network: Processes both raw data and Force impressions, synchronizing ship functions with Sith rituals and crew intent. It responds instinctively to changes in crew emotion, ship status, and dark energy, adapting its operations like a living will tied to the Dark Side.
• Mechu-Deru Integration Matrix: Enables the Node to interface with and manipulate both mechanical and alchemical systems as if alive. It can reconfigure system protocols, reroute damaged circuitry, and even awaken dormant devices through arcane machine manipulation.
• Bloodsteel Conduits: Channels emotion and pain through the ship like neurons, enhancing response time and ritual synergy. These conduits pulse with residual anguish, allowing the Node to draw upon crew torment as fuel for alchemized systems and psychic emitters.
• Spellweave Recalibration Engine: Periodically reattunes the Node's architecture through dark incantations, maintaining power and compliance. The recalibration emits ritual harmonics that echo across the ship, reinforcing Sith will and suppressing crew resistance to the Node's influence.
• AI-Ritual Fusion Core: Operates through predictive quantum code interwoven with Sith logic rites, creating a hybrid intelligence capable of processing not just data, but Force impressions. The Node anticipates future events and responds to psychic trauma, effectively "seeing" through both time and suffering.
• Shadow Mind Uplink Node: Receives dark command strings, recalibration rites, and metaphysical updates from the Kainate's Shadow Mind aboard Malsheem.

• Ritual Intelligence: Fully compatible with Sith systems, battle meditation, and Force-powered weaponry. Can independently operate alchemized weapons and metaphysical emitters.
• Centralized Supermind: Calculates at quantum-tier speeds through AI-meets-sorcery architecture, directing ship operations with terrifying precision.
• Dark Cognitive Presence: Feeds off the will of the Sith. The more hatred, malice within the crew or battlefield, the more powerful and reactive the Node becomes.
• Remote Synchronicity: Can be networked across a fleet of similarly bound ships, allowing the Kainate to seamlessly coordinate in key battle scenarios.

• Singular Core Dependency: Cannot be ported or fragmented across small ships, must remain sealed in a central, shielded sanctum.
• Power-Intensive: Requires a dedicated Dark Core Reactor or similar energy source; standard reactors cannot maintain operation.
• Force Nullification: Inside force nullification or near Voidstone interference, the Node's dark enhancements shut down, reducing its effectiveness to a high tier AI.
• Corruption Risk: Exposure over time to the Node's presence can erode the minds of weaker crew, turning them into extensions of the machine's will.

The Shadow Mind Integration Node Mk. I is the ultimate manifestation of the Kainate's philosophy: absolute control through convergence of sorcery and science. Forged within the secretive research chambers of Malsheem, the Node represents the union of Sith ritual, Mechu-Deru, and next-generation artificial intelligence. The Shadow Mind has showed continually that the galaxies greatest minds are among the Kainate, forging them into the most technologically advanced Sith in the galaxy. It allows a warship to think not just as a machine, but as a weaponized will, bonded to the Dark Side.

Right at its core, the Node uses Sith Blackstone engraved with ritual memory arrays, pulsing with encoded fear, pain, and knowledge. Through Mechu-Deru rituals, the Node interfaces with ship systems like a ghost in the machine, automating targeting, energy management, and psychic weaponry. It grows stronger the longer it operates, adapting to enemy behavior and tuning its own malice.

But the true terror of the Node is its connection to the greater Shadow Mind, the Kainate's technocratic bureau of dark science. Each Integration Node is an extension of this collective intellect, synced in real-time with Malsheem's command servers. It receives algorithmic updates, spell-weave recalibrations, and dark command strings directly from the Malsheem.

To serve aboard a ship bearing a Shadow Mind Node is to become part of something more within the Kainate. You are not just part of a vessel. You are part of something deeper, a mind that watches, thinks, and remembers in darkness. These enhance command and control far beyond other vessels, providing a key resource to ship captains.
