Some believe the expensive and rare cloaking technology
available from certain manufacturers in the wider galaxy
was developed by scientists in
possession of captured gray starships, but these secrets are
closely guarded. Gray cloaking devices are more efficient
and more powerful than these other devices, enabling their
starships to move around while avoiding detection. Activating
a gray cloaking device takes one action by an engineer while
the starship is neither in motion nor engaged in combat. The
ship vanishes from view, and based on the cloaking device’s
level, another ship must have sensors of a minimum level to
detect it.
Like standard cloaking technology, gray cloaking devices
are 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 firing a starship weapon
immediately negates the cloaking ability, whereupon the
ship reappears and can be detected normally. However, a
starship hidden with a gray cloaking device can move,
though at a maximum speed of 10 hexes for Tiny and Small
starships, 8 hexes for Medium and Large starships, and 6
hexes for Huge and larger starships.
