Janus System

Highly Classified 

Technology of Saresii / Narth Cooperation. Based on ancient Saresii Technology from the Saresii First Empire and the very little understood Narth Civilization. The only working Janus System was (and is) installed in the USS Tigershark (Tigershark and Tigershark II). The system establishes a physically existing mask around a Spaceship, allowing it to appear as something completely different. The Tigershark appeared to look like a Karthanian Armed Freighter ad posing as the famous Pirate ship Silver Streak, As the USS Enigma, as an Asteroid and as Oghr War Whale. (Among others) The System has hundreds of pre-programmed disguises that can be activated at a moments notice and with the aide of SHIP and the ships Science Officer more masks were created on the fly. Neither the general public nor most of the United Stars Navy officers know of its existence.

The Janus system not only alters the physical appearance, but simulates everything that goes with the disguise : simulated weapons, engines, life signatures and battle shields. Once disguised no known Sensor to the science of the Union, the Saresii or even the Narth can detect what is beneath the disguise. The Narth included even a PSI simulator that simulates the presence of the correct number of crew and type of beings the disguise appears to have. The most sophisticated Sensor system known to Union Science is the Sensor system incorporated into the Seenian Sentient Battle Suit Tyron; not even Tyron was able to see past the disguise.
