Wormhole technology in Starship Dominatrix progresses from ship-scale travel systems to personal Talonorium attunement, temporal intervention, and unstable reality disruption. Most advanced wormholes depend on Talonorium's entangled living network.
Occulum blocks these connections and prevents wormhole formation. The technology must be distinguished from Chloinite's destructive superluminal effects and from ordinary propulsion.
¶ Ship-scale Systems
Talonorium drives allow vessels to open passages across interstellar distance. Stolen Talonorium enables Chimera Kyria remnant advances in travel, shields, and weapons.
Jack's early wormhole travel occurs through ship or existing drive capability. It does not establish personal attunement.
¶ MAITDINÉ USE
Maitdiné move through time and space to repair fractures. Moonshade uses wormholes during the Jack identity crisis, relocating New Jack and helping stabilize the wedding split.
¶ Personal Attunement
Moonshade uses humanoid-scale wormholes through direct bonding. Jack develops comparable personal access only during the Vantam Rift confrontation, when empathy and possible forgiveness allow Talonorium attunement.
¶ X3
The Corrupted Shard gives X3 unstable wormhole and temporal abilities. His use can be involuntary or poorly controlled, reflecting corruption rather than a stable bond.
¶ Limitations
Occulum severs entanglement and suppresses teleportation. Concentrated deposits in the Vantam Rift restrict both Jack and X3.
The Great Healing prevents connected Talonorium from answering weapon systems but does not end every peaceful or consensual relationship with the material.
