New Cloaking Legislation in Effect

JUDICIARY ARCOLOGY, CORUSCANT – The Senate and the Judicial Department approved increased restrictions on the distribution and use of cloaking devices and related technologies yesterday. To keep such sensor countermeasures from “falling into the wrong hands” and to help preserve the dwindling stockpiles of non-renewable cloaking resources found on Aeten II, the new legislation imposes strict export tariffs on cloaking componentry, particularly the stygium crystals mined in the Dreighton Nebula. In the meantime, the Techno Union continues its development of alternative forms of cloaking technology, particularly explorations in countering the unfortunate “double blind” side-effect of hibridium-based techniques.
