Revision as of 21:47, 25 September 2009
Shadow Technology was developed and used by the ancient race known only as the Shadows.
After they departed the galaxy in 2261, a large amount of their tech ended up in the hands of the younger races, either through salvaging ancient artefacts and ships scattered across hundreds of worlds or as a result of a previous alliance with the shadows.
Devices
Cyberweb Implants
Highly adaptive cybernetic devices that are grafted into the nervous system of living sentient beings that, allows them to merge almost any system. These are used to convert living beings to serve as CPU' for Shadow Vessels.[1][2]
"The Egg"
Nickname given to a large artefact found on the surface of Alpha Omega III by the crew of the Icarus.[3]
"The Mouse"
Nickname given to a small artefact found on Theta Omega II by IPX. The like most Shadow Tech, the devise is semi-organic and can be telepathically activated. Several more identical devices were found in a cave on Alpha Omega III by the crew of the Icarus.[3]
Remote Control Device
An organic device used to remotely pilot a starship without the need for a crew. Just one or two of these hooked into the control systems are sufficient to run even a large warship like the Vorchan class medium warship and successfully engage in combat manoeuvres. The Drakh acquired a large number of these devices when they evacuated Z'ha'dum and in 2262 used them to frame the Centauri Republic for a series of attacks on Alliance shipping lanes. A few years prior, the Psi Corps discovered one such device. [4]
Keeper
Bio-Genetic Nanovirus
Shadow "Temporal Rift" device
A single jet-black sphere, approximately the same size as a Starfury, with eight long, pulsing tendrils. In 2259 one such device was used by the Shadows in an attempt to seal the temporal rift in Sector 14, before being destroyed by three Minbari/Vorlon Prototype Hybrid Fighters, lead by Entil'Zha Sinclair.[5]
Shadow Planet Killer
The most powerful weapons known to be used by the Shadows, they were capable of reducing thriving planets into lifeless husks.
Ships
Shadow Vessel
The most prominent weapon used by the Shadows in their wars of chaos. A large number of these were seeded on remote planets and moons across the galaxy, to be retrieved when the time for them to move again was right.
Shadow Fighter
Shadow Scout
Shadow Hybrid
A hybrid vessel built by a black-ops faction within Earthforce. One of these was responsible for the destruction of the EAS Cerberus.
