====== Dragonstar Shard ======

The Dragonstar [[:l1:technology:Lance]] provides 'porting coordinates within Lance "range".

Lance penetration is limited by intervening matter including atmosphere.

This constrains 'porting "depth" unless supported by a Shard.

The Shard is a hollow dodecahedron with circular hole centered on each face (4 cm face-to-face and 66 grams).

The same material as the [[dragonstar chamber]], shards "bud" within the chamber over time.

Slow growth limits their number.

A Shard and [[Dragonstar Chamber]] become entangled on the 'port down.

This secures a Shard-to-Lance link that is unrestricted by intervening matter.

A Ground team carrying a Shard allows the Lance to image an area around the Shard.

Duncan carries a Shard on the Cyst destruction mission.

Duncan and Fleur 'port down within lance range, near the tunnel entrance.

Duncan carries the Shard, which became entangled with the Lance / chamber on the port down.

Duncan taking a shard to the underground arena lets the [[lance]] position the [[mirror field]] anywhere within 14m of the shard.

This lets the lance image around Duncan and make the retrieve 'port from deep underground.
