About this hull

The Slator is a crystalline wedge that stops being a ship and becomes a distortion. In Full Refractor Mode the hull bends light around itself, presenting a prismatic cloak that Umarian sensors were never built to resolve. As Saudran puts it: the Marcos fighters have some type of refractor cloak — they adapted since they attacked the Ancestors generations ago.

The Slator is the Empire's opening move against Umara, and the reason the Umarian fleet has to improvise mid-engagement.

Systems & detail

What the plates show

  1. 01

    Full Refractor Mode

    A refractor cloak that Umarian doctrine had no counter for. “Send fifteen Slator fighters. Activate Refractor mode.” — Corokor Xagger.

  2. 02

    Prismatic faceting

    The faceted hull scatters light across the visible spectrum, leaving only a shifting chromatic smear where a fighter should be.

  3. 03

    Violet core drive

    The rear aperture carries a single violet drive bloom — the one consistently visible signature when the cloak is active.
