Project NOVA

Codename of the Energy Emittance Baffler project. This project was overseen by the Imperial Military Moff Rodin Verpalion and Lady Santhe oldest son Phillip Santhe prior to the Emperor's death.

This project while in its final stage of testing was sabatoged by the Rebel Alliance with the help of Kashan Santhe.

The project itself was initially a success and enabled Sienar to create a fully operational Cloaking Device but the issue with this type of cloaking vs the use of Stigium Crystals much like Darth Maul's Infiltrator is that it caused a dual blind effect. Neither the pilot of the cloaked ship nor its enemy could see each other.

The initial tests for this project were conducted in Lianna where the prototype device was equipped on a Probe Droid and was successfully cloaked.

On the night prior to the testing before Moff Verpalion a group of Rebel Officers infiltrated Sienar with the help of Kashen Santhe and sabatoged the project by deleteing key information from the blueprints after slicing into Lady Santhe's personal computer where the information was kept setting the project back nearly 10 years in research and development.

This lead to the failure during the Moff's test along with the execution of Phillip and Kashan Santhe, Phillip was charged with collusion with the Rebellion while Kashan was charged with aiding and abeting a Rebel Cell in the destruction of Imperial Property. Both were publicly executed to set an example for the world of Lianna to show what the Empire thought of Traitors.

Lady Santhe was spared due to the fact that she cooperated with Imperial Authorities during the investigation though unknown to the Imperials she in fact allowed this information to be leaked to Kashan in order to sabatoge the project purposely knowing if the Empire got this technology they would be nearly unstopable.

The death of Phillip was of no conciquence to Lady Santhe the man already was plotting to find ways to make her retire and he had no care for Lianna's enviroment while the death of Kashan shook Lady Santhe to the core and was said to be one of the motivations for Sienar declareing there independence upon the death of Emperor Palpatine.
