 The Entropy's Shroud is an integrated electronics warfare suite of astounding complexity. The system uses a phase inversion system to sample an incoming sensor signal, analyze it, then return an antiphase signal in order to cancel it out to give the impression of an empty void upon sensors. However, a ship can use its sensors to scan surrounding objects or interstellar medium and record the way scans are reflected or refracted in order to mimic them, and thereby use its own ECM system to blend in rather than create a seemingly empty hole inside a nebula. Actual methods vary depending on the type of sensors it detects; evanescent wave generators are used to scramble electromagnetic signals, while spatial destabilizers generate a wake that disrupts most forms of subspace, gravimetric, and even optical scanning. The Entropy's Shroud is an integrated electronics warfare suite of astounding complexity.

-|"You shall not fear the dark corners of the galaxy, but instead shall hide among them. You shall not seek to tame the natural hazards of the galaxy, but learn to live among them as they are; to gather them about you as an aegis against your enemies. Embrace the universe and it shall embrace you in turn. What greater ally is there than that which is immortal and timeless and infinite?" \\ \\ **-- The Art of Never Again, Chapter 112: Collected Sermons on Strategic Universalism**|+|"You shall not fear the dark corners of the galaxy, but instead shall hide among them.

-With its vast digital networks, virtual worlds being commonplace, and an overwhelming abundance of [[freespacers:Synthetic Intelligence]], the Free State is inadvertently become a breeding ground that produces what are arguably the galaxy's best hackers. These vast number of electronic warfare specialists give the Freespacers an intimate understand on not just digital warfare, but the importance of having hardware to support such endeavors. +With its vast digital networks, virtual worlds being commonplace, and an overwhelming abundance of [[faction:freespacers:synthetic_intelligence]], the Free State is inadvertently become a breeding ground that produces what are arguably the galaxy's best hackers.

 Their pacifist ideologies frown on the so-called barbaric applications of brute force, the general consensus is that the realms of information and electronic warfare are fair game. When first contact was made it was realized they would need a means of defense against aggressors, but their decades of pacifism left their military technology sorely lacking. So instead of attempting to roughly patch together cheap replicas of shielding technology, they applied what they knew about communications and electronics warfare technology in order to produce Entropy's Shroud. Their pacifist ideologies frown on the so-called barbaric applications of brute force, the general consensus is that the realms of information and electronic warfare are fair game.
