What each side
actually has
One civilization built a time machine it cannot make work and a surveillance apparatus that monitors its own people. The other built a cloak Umarian doctrine had no counter for. Every system here is described in the source material.
Umarian systems
Science and Technology Alliance
Project Chronos
A temporal displacement device Dr. Tasc'n's team has been developing for some time, not yet operational. Every attempt to send a test subject back by five minutes ends the same way — it fails to reappear. A crucial variable is still missing.
Umarian Defense Forces
The Planetary Grid
Orbital defense infrastructure, expected to neutralise a portion of an incoming force before Umarian fighters engage.
P.S.O. — monitored
Online Umarian Network
The O.U.N. Agents monitor it for unauthorised discussion or investigation into Ancestral history.
Planetary Security Organization
Keyword Nanotechnology
Specialized nanotechnology that can attach to any electronic device and flag keywords deemed a potential threat to Umara. The same method Saudran used to intercept data from the Cognitive Test machine.
P.S.O. archive equipment
Ancestral Translator
An Ancestral-to-Umarian language translator, which renders the glowing alien characters of recovered Ancestral records into modern Umarian text.
Umarian Broadcast News
Holo-viewers
Giant holo-viewers float above each city, able to shimmer to life across the planet simultaneously. The U.B.N. emergency frequency can override every other broadcast.

A temporal displacement device Dr. Tasc’n’s team has been developing for some time. It does not work. Every attempt to send a test subject back by five minutes ends the same way — it fails to reappear. A crucial piece of the puzzle is missing, and the team has not identified the variable.
Every time we send a lab rat back in time by five minutes, it fails to reappear. We are missing a crucial piece of the puzzle, but we haven’t identified the variable yet.
Marconian systems
Marconian Scout Fleet
Full Refractor Mode
A refractor cloak carried by Slator-class fighters. Umarian doctrine had no counter for it — the Marcos adapted since they attacked the Ancestors generations ago.
Marconian Empire
Blazer Mode Adaptation
Marconian Blazers adapt to the wielder's grip and fighting style rather than a selector — shifting between blade, blast, and a combined shield mode when both weapons are used in hammer-style grips.
Marconian Blazers
Three grips, one weapon
Blade Mode
A Blazer held in the hammer-style grip switches to blade mode.
Blast Mode
A Blazer held like a saber operates in blast mode.
Shield Mode
PairBoth Blazers are used together in the hammer-style grip to generate shield mode.
