AUXILIARY TECHNOLOGY
SALAZAR FIELDS
These fields are highly restricted access and are strategically placed across all Ingenious holdings. A dampening field of pulse energy known as a Salazar Wave effectively inhibits all technology other than arms blanche, preventing the use of any technology with complex moving metal parts.
Originally developed by the Stellar Imperial Monarchy decades ago, the Salazar Field has been modified, upgraded and tweaked over the years by the Axis and their allies. It specifically proved its value during the Kuntrian War in which the invading Kuntrian force was trapped on the surface of Laptev and defeated in a vast, days-long battle of sword against bayonet.
The Salazar Field system operates by emitting pulses of energy which temporarily elasticate and lengthen the bond lengths of a given material, causing an effect similar to thermal expansion. This can cause an increase in volume of up to 5% in a range of materials, typically metals, rendering all conventional firearms inoperable, as well as all weapons and equipment with moving parts, unless they are designed with significant amounts of dead space.
Salazar Field generators are protected by highly durable void-titanium and are buried underground in strategic locations across the Jade Empire. Combined with Welthelm Shield Generators, which use a miniaturised TILT loop to protect themselves from Salazar Pulses, these are highly useful options for defending commanders.
