<p>Pikaneer: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> == The Aether ==<br /> <br /> == Auron ==<br /> The simplest form of connection between realspace and the Aether is known as an aura. An auron can be thought of as a unidirectional portal linking realspace to the aether (known as a realspace-aether connection, R-A, or RAC auron) or aether to realspace connection (aether-realspace connection, A-R, or ARC auron). Matter in realspace with a strong enough RAC link will be transported to the Aether. Matter in the Aether with a strong ARC auron will be transported to realspace.

<p>Pikaneer: </p> <hr /> <div>(return to [[Index of Major Technologies]])<br /> <br /> '''WARNING: This article is a stub.'''<br /> <br /> '''Lasers''' are devices for emitting coherent electromagnetic radiation based on the principle of amplication through stimulated emission. Derivative systems using similar principles employing gravitational, strong, weak, and arcane fields exist separately, but are often referred to under the same name due to the ubiquity of hybrid-field systems and overlaps in function and application.<br /> <br /> Lasers are an ancient technology, having been independently developed countless times over the course of Elyrion's history. Early lasers were prone to overheating, limited in frequency, and were often limited in power output; modern lasers use a variety of different optical and arcanic principles to improve performance, efficiency, and compactness.<br /> <br /> == Laser Derivative Systems ==<br /> Following the successful application of laser principles to non-electromagnetic fields with the development of [[Resonant Arcane Dynamics|resonant arcane dynamics]], a variety of hybrid-field lasers have emerged.<br /> <br /> === Aetheric Lasers ===<br /> Fundamental to coherently resoarcane machines, aetheric lasers phase in and out of realspace at a rate determined by its frequency. In this way, they are capable of carrying information between Aetheric and realspace phenomena, and exhibit variations in speed key to measuring ambient realspace-Aether coupling - in essence, a waveform-dependent magic detector.<br /> <br /> Pre-Silence aetheric lasers are known to have played roles in ley-line manipulation; presently, they are used in sensors and information technologies.<br /> <br /> == Common Laser Applications ==<br /> <br /> === Manufacturing ===<br /> Infrared, visible-light, and ultraviolet lasers are ubiquitous in electronics manufacturing and fabrication processes for cutting, etching, and deposition<br /> <br /> === Information Technology ===<br /> Laser scanning and spectroscopy are common tools, and lasers are vital to the operation of deep-space and fiber optic-based communication devices. Laser-based computation, while pioneered by many independent groups, is dominated primarily by aetheric lasers - if at least partially due to their relevance in artificial intelligence and theoarcane technologies.<br /> <br /> === Weaponry ===<br /> Personal laser weapons are ubiquitous in Elyrion, coming in many different shapes and sizes. Common amongst them, however, is the tendency to employ vacuum UV so as to more easily penetrate materials; arcanoplasma-based X-ray lasers exist, but are prone to breakdowns when compared to their more reliable Pre-Silence counterparts.</div>

<p>Pikaneer: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> return to ([[Index of Weapons Systems]])<br /> <br /> Neutron charge weapons are low-energy hypervelocity ballistic weapons designed to fire unshielded microfusion explosives, employed for their high accuracy, long range, and shield-defeating capabilities. While artifacts similar to neutron charge weapons have been found and recognised in pre-Silence records stretching back to antiquity, the modern form - an evolution of conventional plasma weapons and ballistics - is unrelated, having arisen independently in the Kamma Reef, Mal Pacifica, and Haelo Astrae shortly after the development of [[fusion dust]] in the 2340s.<br /> <br /> Anti-personnel weapons of this type operate primarily via acute whole-body radiation exposure, causing nausea, severe nervous system dysfunction, and near-certain death if not stabilized within minutes. Use of handheld neutron charge weapons in war is condemned as a war crime by virtually all governments, but examples - most often, those types manufactured by [[Sialumh Heavy Industries#SHIASD|SHIASD]] - often find themselves in the hands of mercenaries and brigands.<br /> <br /> Anti-ship neutron charge weapons, despite being incapable of defeating most hostile-environment crew shielding arrangements without severe hull damage, are still capable weapons when deployed en masse - the flood of penetrating radiation causes deep thermal damage which cannot be mitigated using ablative or spaced armour arrangements, and damages sensor and computer systems such that defending against other weapon types becomes difficult.

<p>Pikaneer: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> return to ([[Index of Technologies]])<br /> <br /> Neutron charge weapons are low-energy hypervelocity ballistic weapons designed to fire unshielded microfusion explosives, employed for their high accuracy, long range, and shield-defeating capabilities. While artifacts similar to neutron charge weapons have been found and recognised in pre-Silence records stretching back to antiquity, the modern form - an evolution of conventional plasma weapons and ballistics - is unrelated, having arisen independently in the Kamma Reef, Mal Pacifica, and Haelo Astrae shortly after the development of [[fusion dust]] in the 2340s.<br /> <br /> Anti-personnel weapons of this type operate primarily via acute whole-body radiation exposure, causing nausea, severe nervous system dysfunction, and near-certain death if not stabilized within minutes. Use of handheld neutron charge weapons in war is condemned as a war crime by virtually all governments, but examples - most often, those types manufactured by [[Sialumh Heavy Industries#SHIASD|SHIASD]] - often find themselves in the hands of mercenaries and brigands.<br /> <br /> Anti-ship neutron charge weapons, despite being incapable of defeating most hostile-environment crew shielding arrangements without severe hull damage, are still capable weapons when deployed en masse - the flood of penetrating radiation causes deep thermal damage which cannot be mitigated using ablative or spaced armour arrangements, and damages sensor and computer systems such that defending against other weapon types becomes difficult.

Derivative systems using similar principles employing gravitational, strong, weak, and arcane fields exist separately, but are often referred to under the same name due to the ubiquity of hybrid-field systems and overlaps in function and application.<br /> <br /> Lasers are an ancient technology, having been independently developed countless times over the course of Elyrion's history. Early lasers were prone to overheating, limited in frequency, and were often limited in power output; modern lasers use a variety of different optical and arcanic principles to improve performance, efficiency, and compactness.<br /> <br /> == Laser Derivative Systems ==<br /> Following the successful application of laser principles to non-electromagnetic fields with the development of [[Resonant Arcane Dynamics|resonant arcane dynamics]], a variety of hybrid-field lasers have emerged.<br /> <br /> === Aetheric Lasers ===<br /> Fundamental to coherently resoarcane machines, aetheric lasers phase in and out of realspace at a rate determined by its frequency. In this way, they are capable of carrying information between Aetheric and realspace phenomena, and exhibit variations in speed key to measuring ambient realspace-Aether coupling - in essence, a waveform-dependent magic detector.<br /> <br /> Pre-Silence aetheric lasers are known to have played roles in ley-line manipulation; presently, they are used in sensors and information technologies.<br /> <br /> == Common Laser Applications ==<br /> <br /> === Manufacturing ===<br /> Infrared, visible-light, and ultraviolet lasers are ubiquitous in electronics manufacturing and fabrication processes for cutting, etching, and deposition<br /> <br /> === Information Technology ===<br /> Laser scanning and spectroscopy are common tools, and lasers are vital to the operation of deep-space and fiber optic-based communication devices. Laser-based computation, while pioneered by many independent groups, is dominated primarily by aetheric lasers - if at least partially due to their relevance in artificial intelligence and theoarcane technologies.<br /> <br /> === Weaponry ===<br /> Personal laser weapons are ubiquitous in Elyrion, coming in many different shapes and sizes. Common amongst them, however, is the tendency to employ vacuum UV so as to more easily penetrate materials; arcanoplasma-based X-ray lasers exist, but are prone to breakdowns when compared to their more reliable Pre-Silence counterparts.</div>

Though formally headquartered in [[Port Auren]] since 2383 SSD, its administrative facilities and megascale manufactories are located outside of Compact space in accordance with an agreement made with [[Concord Industries]] in 2478 SSD. However, Compact regulators have demurred on Concord's attempts to enforce the agreement when it comes to sales of Sialumh products in Compact space via intermediary firms, and while these supply chains are often ephemeral, the rivalry of the two industrial behemoths has continued to burn as brightly as ever. <br /> <br /> From mining drones to plasma weaponry, Sialumh Heavy Industries produces, licenses, and maintains a wide array of patterns in close partnership with its users; its devolved organisation, close relationship with freelance collectives, and apolitical stance has earned it access to vast libraries of technical solutions and accurate customer feedback, contributing to a well-earned reputation for versatility and reliability amongst specialists and guilds; though products seldom incorporate the highest-performance technologies or the most intuitive of interfaces, they are widely considered to be well-built. <br /> <br /> Experimental devices and prototypes built by Sialumh Heavy Industries and its subdivisions are as numerous as they are widespread; while its megascale manufacturies are well-protected, smaller workshops and individual freelancers frequently run into trouble with outlaws and attention from unscrupulous organisations. Sialumh Heavy Industries' large size and manufacturing quality typically prevents the final product from being outcompeted by imitations on release by a large margin, but a disturbing amount of bizzare equipment finds its way into the hands of pirates, smugglers, and brigands. <br /> <br /> == Governance ==<br /> Sialumh Heavy Industries is run largely from the bottom up, with individual employees and associated freelancers voting and petitioning in order to effect changes in workplace and project policy; its managers and divisional representatives are elected, and its five executives are voted in by randomly-picked committees following their appointment. <br /> <br /> 95% of company ownership is distributed among the employees, with remaining stocks listed on exchanges throughout the [[Nova Compact]], [[Pelor Cluster Union]], and [[Alari Empire]]. Subdivisions are listed separately.<br /> <br /> == Major Subdivisions ==<br /> Sialumh Heavy Industries has created and acquired a number of smaller ventures that, while financially and administratively independent, are tied into the greater design ecosystem and freelancer pool of the collective; informal adoption of common subsystems across divisions is common. Extant and dissolved subdivisions are as follows:<br /> <br /> === SHIMAD ===<br /> Formerly a small startup by the name of Archipelago Atomics, SHIMAD (Sialumh Heavy Industries Metastables and Atomics Division) was inducted into Sialumh Heavy Industries in a merger in 2377 SSD. Specialising in the design and production of reactors and energetic materials, they have grown renowned for the safety and reliability of their products - SHIMAD blasting explosives are known for their stability on the hottest of rocky planets, and their modular fusion reactor cores, while not as high-performance as those of [[Kamma-Seim Plasmadynamics]] or as cheap as those of [[Concord Industries]], are commonly used where ruggedness, durability, and versatility are vital.<br /> <br /> At present, SHIMAD is the largest autonomous subdivision of Sialumh Heavy Industries; a prospective merger with [[EnerSYS]] would have increased its market share above that of the rest of SHI combined, but was turned down in 2420.<br /> <br /> SHIMAD holds numerous contracts and licensing agreements with [[Bulgine Systems Company|Bulgine Systems Co.]] and [[Concord Industries#Concord Spacworks|Concord Spaceworks]] in addition to its dealings with other Sialumh Heavy Industries divisions.<br /> <br /> '''Series''': (&gt;10K units, tonnes manufactured)<br /> <br /> * [[LUM Blast Composition]] (licensed by [[Compact Ordinances]])<br /> * [[RCSE Blast Composition]]<br /> * EnerBulk-2.G (licensed by [[EnerSYS]])<br /> * [[Fusion Dust|SMDFX Fusion Dust]]<br /> * [[Muonium|91-Kamma Muonium]]<br /> * [[CIISA Fusion Reactor]] - precursor type to the SHIKMGR using the short-lived [[Muonium|48-Cehe Muonium]] type for startup.<br /> * [[SHIKMGR Fusion Assembly]] - the first sustainable muon-gas reactor technology to be developed and released post-Silence.<br /> * [[B-SHIKMGR Fusion Assembly]]<br /> * [[SHIASNC Alchemical Processor]] - a collaboration with the [[Academia Arcanos]].<br /> * [[ModuCR-24 Fusion Assembly]]<br /> * [[ModuCR-48 Fusion Assembly]]<br /> <br /> === SHIIMPEC ===<br /> SHIIMPEC (Sialumh Heavy Industries Integrated Mechanicals, Propulsion, and Energy Commission) was formed in 2383 shortly after the registration of the collective in Port Auren, specialising in the production of military-grade aerospace vehicles and ballistics systems. Despite the success of the [[AtB-100 &quot;Hagraven&quot;]] series and related aircraft, SHIIMPEC began experiencing financial issues in the 2450s, culminating in a series of schisms and disputes throughout the 2480s and the withdrawal of Sialumh Heavy Industries support in 2484. SHIIMPEC and its remaining assets were acquired by [[Concord Industries]] under its Aero and Starflight divisions in 2491.<br /> <br /> '''Patterns''': (&gt;100 units manufactured)<br /> <br /> * [[AtB-100 &quot;Hagraven&quot;|AtB-100 &quot;Hagraven&quot; Superheavy Atmospheric]] <br /> * [[EC-35 Orbital Superiority Skimmer]]<br /> * [[VcC-207 &quot;Monarch&quot;|VcC-207 &quot;Monarch&quot; Superheavy Transatmospheric]]<br /> * [[VL-201 &quot;Ligand&quot; Orbital Antimissile|VL-201 &quot;Ligand&quot; Orbital Antiballistic]]<br /> * [[VT-127 &quot;Terminator&quot; Orbital Mass Driver|VT-127 &quot;Terminator&quot; Orbital Ballistic]]<br /> <br /> === SHIASD ===<br /> SHIASD (Sialumh Heavy Industries Armaments and Security Division) (or SHISD until 2361) was officialised just two years after the founding merger in 2319, in a merger of 13 different mercenary and security companies possessing deep partnerships with the founding firms. While at first purely for security purposes, division employment policies and the close integration of SHIASD generated an influx of engineers, private military scientists, and in-house medical personnel transferring from other divisions of Sialumh Heavy Industries to support its members. This eventually resulted in the prototyping and release of a number of weapons and other military-grade equipment, which are widely sold today.<br /> <br /> As of present, SHIASD is working closely with the [[Hledat Federal Concord]] to develop compact anti-ship weaponry.<br /> <br /> '''Patterns:''' (&gt;10K units manufactured)<br /> <br /> * [[fcP-series MELIY Automatic Neutron Charge Pistol]]<br /> *[[fcC-series MEVRA Semiautomatic Neutron Charge Carbine]]<br /> *[[Emergency Medical Stasis|SHI Humanoid Stasis Trauma Bag]]<br /> *[[Flammable Environment Weapon|bcR-series Flammable Environment Pistol]]<br /> *[[Flammable Environment Weapon|bcC-series Flammable Environment Carbine]]<br /> *[[FCCM-series Compact Neutron Charge Cannon]]<br /> *[[FCAA-series Heavy Neutron Charge Cannon]]</div>

While artifacts similar to neutron charge weapons have been found and recognised in pre-Silence records stretching back to antiquity, the modern form - an evolution of conventional plasma weapons and ballistics - is unrelated, having arisen independently in the Kamma Reef, Mal Pacifica, and Haelo Astrae shortly after the development of [[fusion dust]] in the 2340s.<br /> <br /> Anti-personnel weapons of this type operate primarily via acute whole-body radiation exposure, causing nausea, severe nervous system dysfunction, and near-certain death if not stabilized within minutes. Use of handheld neutron charge weapons in war is condemned as a war crime by virtually all governments, but examples - most often, those types manufactured by [[Sialumh Heavy Industries#SHIASD|SHIASD]] - often find themselves in the hands of mercenaries and brigands.<br /> <br /> Anti-ship neutron charge weapons, despite being incapable of defeating most hostile-environment crew shielding arrangements without severe hull damage, are still capable weapons when deployed en masse - the flood of penetrating radiation causes deep thermal damage which cannot be mitigated using ablative or spaced armour arrangements, and damages sensor and computer systems such that defending against other weapon types becomes difficult. Small craft are particularly vulnerable, making these weapons a favorite of anti-piracy operations along the East Wendingways outskirts.<br /> <br /> == Design ==<br /> Neutron charge weapons are primarily constrained by two measures: the size of the imploding projectile, and the impact velocity of the projectile, which provides the energy to kickstart the fusion reaction.

The high complexity and small size of the projectile precludes the inclusion of efficient armatures, and the extreme acceleration required outpaces conventional chemical propulsion. To resolve this issue, most neutron charge launchers employ a hybrid of technologies revolving around the use of ion-gas armatures and electrostatic levitation of the projectile to provide contactless propulsion without risk of joule heating.<br /> <br /> Ionisation of the projectile and armature gas is the primary limit on fire rate to most neutron charge weapons<br /> <br /> === Projectile ===<br /> Neutron charge projectiles are specially designed to exploit the relative homogeneity of high-energy impact physics to reliably compress their payloads along multiple axes, employing special crystals with extremely high speed of sound (25-30 km/s) in layered configurations so as to efficiently constrain the rate of implosion. Acoustically insulated high-energy materials are electrically detonated nanoseconds before the projectile completely disintegrates, shaping the impact plasma and protecting the secondary hybrid-Z reflector backing the liquid jet consisting the [[fusion dust]] core (via hollow charge effect); in this way, the plasma-jet lasing effect can be exploited for energy retention and further concentration.<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> A list of common neutron charge weapons is as follows:<br /> <br /> '''Personal NCWs:'''<br /> <br /> * [[fcP-series MELIY Automatic Neutron Charge Pistol]]<br /> * [[fcC-series MEVRA Semiautomatic Neutron Charge Carbine]]<br /> <br /> '''Anti-Ship NCWs:'''<br /> <br /> * [[FCCM-series Compact Neutron Charge Cannon]]<br /> * [[FCAA-series Heavy Neutron Charge Cannon]]</div>

<p>Pikaneer: did some rewording here and there, expanded a little on language, made article more tone-neutral, removed implication that anybody actually knows where exactly the Anaszcan origin world is</p> <hr /> <div>The Anaszcans (alt.: Anazcans) are an ancient race, having experienced hundreds of thousands of years of civilization. Dispersed far and wide throughout Elyrion and the vast expanse of the former [[The Conclave of Anaszca|Conclave]] and [[Kingdom of Oran]], many groups nevertheless retain many common traditions - many a traveller has found themselves baffled by the utterly byzantine, yet apparently well-maintained etiquette and bureaucratic particulars of Anaszcan society. Anaszcans are a bipedal avian race with bright plumage and reptilian features, sturdily built and with affinities for magic and arcanomechanical engineering. While exceptions to the rule are present from time to time, Anaszcans are known for their close adherence to tradition, and everything that comes with.<br /> <br /> == Origins ==<br /> Originally hailing from Tazk'etaia IX, the Anaszcan's pre-FTL history is long and rich, but their evolutionary origins are difficult to discern. Millenia of development and countless high-tech wars (including devastating orbital bombardments during the Ley Wars) have made archaeological investigation difficult. Genetic analysis of what life currently resides on their ancient homeworlds and terraformed colonies paints a partial picture of their evolution from savannah scavengers, with their closest living relatives being a species of brightly colored raptor-like creatures which have traditionally been kept as pets by the old Anaszcan elite.<br /> <br /> == Biology and Appearance ==<br /> Anaszcans are bipedal tetrapods, typically standing between 6 and 7 feet from head to foot. Their scaly skin is covered by brightly colored feathers whose reflectivity can be altered by subtle changes in angle. The visual patterns created by rapid flashing of the more nimble feathers of the face is the basis for most ancient Anaszcan languages. While capable of singing in a range of tones and pitches, surgery of the tongue and neck is required for them to be able to pronounce most common interstellar languages; this procedure is relatively straightforward, however, and most feel no need to employ linguistic cybernetics.<br /> <br /> == Culture and Language ==<br /> Mainstream Anaszcan culture in the current age is split between the traditionalists (a broad category referring to those who retain facial feathers and visual language) and a newer mode referred to by adherants as &quot;vesk&quot;. Traditionalist Anaszcans follow many ancient practices which they trace back to their pre-Silence and in some cases pre-FTL heritage. These traditionalists tend to cluster in communities largely closed off to outsiders, and are often supporters of hardline isolationist parties in polities of Aenaz and Mal Pacifica. <br /> <br /> Traditionalist Anaszcans are taught from birth the languages of their ancestors, many of which are mutually intelligible despite the prolonged separation of the Silence. Orani and Old Anaszcan forms are by far the most common, differing primarily in the tonal affects and plumage shimmers used to complement the lyrical and silent forms of the language, respectively. It is common amongst such Anaszcans to be able to communicate using both forms at once, effectively holding two conversations simultaneously; this skill is the basis of many social intricacies and jokes in traditional Anaszcan society. Orani Anaszcan dominates in Mal Pacifica and rimward regions, while Old Anaszcan is predominantly used in Aenaz and the core regions. <br /> <br /> Vesk anaszcans' most obvious practice is the removal of their feathers from their entire body. This gives them a notably lizard-like appearance, and many choose to accent their faces and limbs with surgically implanted bone ridges and horns. While derided by traditionalists for abandoning their heritage (the shaving of face feathers prevents them from using the ancient Anaszcan languages), many Vesk are of the belief that Anaszcan tradition doomed their ancient empires, and that their species must re-imagine itself for the post-Silence era. The name Vesk is loosely derived from a transliteration for an ancient Anaszcan term for &quot;rebel&quot; or &quot;traitor&quot;. Whether the term is complementary or pejorative is entirely dependent on the speaker. Vesk speak a variety of languages derived from lyrical versions of traditional Anaszcan language. [[Veskara]] and [[Veskori]] (derived from old Anaszcan and Orani Anaszcan respectively) are the two most common, with vesk from Aenaz and core regions typically learning Veskara, and those from Mal Pacifica and rimward regions preferring Veskori.<br /> <br /> Both traditional and vesk anaszkans are known for their martial traditions; their species' natural strength and fortitude leads many of their traditional martial arts to require more strength than many other species can readily muster.<br /> <br /> == Regions of Prevelance ==<br /> Anaszcan populations are concentrated in Aenaz and Mal Pacifica, the territories of their people's former major empires.</div>

<p>Pikaneer: changed &#039;stat systems&#039; to &#039;star systems&#039;</p> <hr /> <div>Concord Industries is a vast corporate conglomerate with the highest valuation of any publicly traded company in colonized space. With subsidiaries in almost every industry, business stretching from [[Hledia Major]] to the [[Gates of Rathyn]], and even a handful of star systems under its direct ownership and management, it is a force to behold in galactic affairs. Concord is incorporated in [[High Steelforge]], and listed primarily on the High Steelforge Stock Exchange.<br /> <br /> == Major subsidiaries ==<br /> Concord divides its business into subsidiaries, each of which develops products, manages supply chains, and organizes customer service personnel in their various regions of operation. While central offices work to ensure different subsidiaries integrate with each other where possible, local and regional managers have a great deal of independence in order to pursue growth and profitability in their local markets most effectively. Some major subsidiaries are as follows:<br /> <br /> === Concord Starflight ===<br /> Concord Starflight is the main aerospace arm of Concord. They produce atmospheric transports, light surface-to-orbit shuttles, interstellar light transports, small interstellar bulkers, and high-end personal transports for both planetary and interstellar use. While Concord Starflight vessels are often among the lowest-cost entries in their class (in both acquisition and maintenance), the often lag in performance and durability, and crews frequently complain that their systems, while streamlined, are difficult to access and hard to modify. Many low-cost cargo outfits in the backwater systems around the Nova Compact fly almost exclusively Concord ships, though they face stiff competition in most markets.<br /> <br /> === Concord Computational ===<br /> C.C. is the main electronics manufacturing branch of Concord. They engage in a variety of computer manufacture businesses, from semiconductor and chip manufacturing to the final assembly and distribution of both personal machines and handheld devices and enterprise mainframe and cloud systems. Concord Computational's business is roughly evenly split between contract manufacturing of chips for other businesses and the production of ready-to-use computer products for the consumer and business markets. Much of their production of hardware for business use is consumed by Concord Software, which uses it to power their cloud services across Concord's areas of operation. Concord Computational is also known for their production of Providence Keys<br /> <br /> === Concord Spaceworks ===<br /> Concord Spaceworks specializes in the production and installation of prefabricated large spaceborne installations, such as orbital starports,</div>
