Premise:

Since the first development of hyperspace technology, the scientific community has been searching for ways to employ it for personnel travel. Largely believed impossible due to the impreciseness of hyperspace coordinates, which range from 25 up to several hundred clicks from the originally surveyed location, a particular group known as the Cult of Technology, hereafter referred to as the Cult, repeatedly demonstrated this assumtion to be false. Employing technologies yet unknown to man, the Cult possesses superior weaponry, engine, cloak and hyperspace technology. The Cult has repeatedly been engaged in hostile encounters with house militaries and inter-house agents. One such agent is known as Auxesia, who upon inquiry were willing to impart infomation they had gathered to Professor Martinez. A copy of the exchange will be attached to the premise.

While there is certainly a lot to be learned about the Cult's motivations and modus operandi, these questions will not be treated here. Instead, the focus will be resting solely on the Cult's application of advanced hyperspace technology, which we believe is able to be employed within a moment's notice and with pinpoint accuracy. If we are able to replicate this within common hyperspace technology available today, not only would their versatility be greatly increased, but it might also be the start of an era where jump gates and trade lanes become superfluous, as distances can be crossed using hyperspace technology within mere seconds.

The key to this, we believe, is a substance called Narcahtite, a crystalline, brittle material that seems to be playing a huge part in the Cult's materiel, though not in its raw, but rather a refined form. To achieve a better understanding of the Cult, it is necessary to devise a way to refine this material. However, due to the difficulty in obtaining Narcahtite, as it only appears to be commonly found in sporadically appearing, uncharted systems, the Project will need to be conservative with the usage of its available stock.

Currently, a total of 56.1 grams of Narcahtite is in the Project's possession, with 114.3 kilograms of drone remains, which appear to be made of common materials, though we hope to find trace amounts of the refined form of Narcahtite within them. We either devise a way from the ground up to refine it, or we might be able to reverse engineer the way the Cult did so if we successfully find trace amounts of the refined material.
