Solar Shields (Because the shield system channels destructive solar forces around and through the vessel, the starship is considered to have only half its normal shield values while within a star. The starship's shields take half damage from gravity, laser and plasma weapons and fully block the irradiate weapon special property. Conversely, the starship cannot fire gravity, laser or plasma weapons through its own shields without first lowering them. For each full round during which the starship's shield value in one or more quadrants is 0, it takes 5d6 damage from stellar plasma striking the hull.)
Basic Cloaking (Cloaking technology is named for the maximum quality of sensors that can’t detect the cloaked ship. Cut-rate cloaking technology fools only cut-rate sensors; budget cloaking technology fools only cut-rate and budget sensors, and so on. Sensors capable of detecting a cloaked starship can do so only when the cloaked starship has entered the sensor’s first range increment. Engaging a Drift engine or thrusters or beginning starship combat immediately negates the cloaking ability, whereupon the ship reappears and can be detected normally.)

CONCEPT
An upgraded Excoriation Combine Jezail ship captured and refitted by DCI operatives, the Torrent of Embers is designed for stealth and protection while accomplishing critical intrastellar missions.
