Matter Compression Technology

Development
Matter Depression Technology is only in it's fledgling stages in the universe. Pioneered by a Hoojib known only as Dagger and his accomplice a Squib known as Cloak, the technology was developed seeking to produce Dark Matter, a substance that was rumored to be able to power a small planet for several hundred years. Early attempts were quite unsuccessful due to the strong gravitational fields produced destroying the equipment that had created them. Research began in the year 10 ABY as Recon Majors for their Clan's Spy Net, when they accidentally simultaneously set of a Cryo and Ion Grenade in their quarters aboard the Viraga Flagship Manifest Destiny, destroying the room and everything surrounding it, including punching a hole in the hull. Luckily no one was hurt as they had been in the mess lounge during the incident.

Reprimand
Dagger was reprimanded after the incident by his commanding officers. First for stealing the weapons and then having the nerve to let Cloak dismantle and jury rig them with a timer. Due to the incident they were both demoted to Privates and given the task of cleaning up and repairing the large gash in the side of their flagship.

Lost Memories
Research would never have started however if Cloak had not been so persistent in finding a laugh in the matter to cheer up is friend. When Cloak had finished with the repairs to the hull he sneaked into the security room and stole a surveillance tape of the incident. Later that evening he came into his room, where he and Dagger were staying due to the destruction of his room, and turned on the holotape. As they watched they say as the Cryo grenade brought the room to absolute zero and the Ion grenade charge the particles at the exact time the hole was punched in the hull creating a gravity influx and immediate dispersal forming dark matter for a fraction of a second. They were suddenly awe struck at what they had accomplished and immediately sought the council of a scientist they were transporting on the way to Sluis Van.

Discoveries
The Scientist, who choose to hide his real name, was known to them as Nam Yitvarg.
