Work in progress
The Fold scavenge technology from every planet, from every race. They possess massive world ending ships. Weapons of mass destruction. Advanced medicine, and super technologies of many other types.
PSE- Every member of the race is born with a device inside of them called Physics Stability Emitter or PSE. This device functions in a 50 yard radius around the subject and may be activated or deactivated as they see fit. The device is actually a multi-dimensional piece of technology that stabilizes the laws of physics in the area correlating to them no matter what dimension the manipulation occurs on. Each device is set with a baseline, a sampling of standard physics corresponding to the individual in question. When active, the device overwrites the surrounding area to correspond to this baseline. While this device is active, members of the Fold are limited in the amount of psionic might they may wield. They can only use their psionic gifts for communication. Anything beyond this scope is nullified. The benefit is that it has an identical effect to all others with it's range of effect. The fold commonly utilize this device against beings that seek to attack them through dimensional means, it is however equally effective against planar intrusions and weaker manipulation.
Wraithbone- is the primary construction material used by the Eldar. The Fold learned the art of its construction from Eldar prisoners on Turath. It is the staple of their psycho-technical engineering. Wraithbone is a psycho-plastic material, a form of crystallized psychic energy that can exist as a solid in realspace. It is highly resilient to damage, and capable of limited self-repair, growing and reacting like living tissue. Wraithbone is brought forth from the Warp and shaped by an architect concentrating his thoughts and intent upon it. All of the Fold are able to influence Wraithbone to a certain extent; for instance, most artisan will use Wraithbone in order to create the pieces of art or instruments they desire. However, truly complex constructions (such as functional weapons or whole ships) can only be brought into existence by the Bonesingers; those specialized craftsmen who focus on understanding and mastering the intricacies of creating, growing and shaping the Wraithbone through the application of their innate psychic power.
Wraithbone is used to create the cities, vehicles, weapons and armor. It is a psychic conductor and thus provides not only the structure and armor for the things built of it, but also the power distribution and communications systems since Wraithbone carries psychic energy the way a wire or fiber optic cable carries electricity or photons. Wraithbone can also naturally generate a psychic shield that protects the occupants of any spacecraft made from the material from the predations of the entities of the Warp. The psychic structure of Wraithbone can contain the essence of fallen Fold warriors, allowing these warriors to 'live' again as the animating force of ships, mechs, and other Wraithbone constructs.
Members of the fold are trained in physical as well as artillery combat. They commonly carry weapons such as axes and swords, but augment their armament with one or more types of ranged weaponry. A warrior's specific armament is up to them.
Shard Weapons- Shard Weapons fire mono-molecular shards of splintered crystal and metal using powerful gravitic pulses and electromagnetic linear accelerator technology to project a solid projectile at hypervelocity. A burst of several missiles can be fired in a fraction of a second in this way. The weapon's magazine is then pushed up by a degree of nanometers and the cycle repeats. A shard can slice straight through flesh and bone, and can penetrate a considerable thickness of metal or plasteel armour. A single solid core of plasti-crystal material is used as ammunition. As the weapon is fired, high-energy impulses from the back of the weapon form the individual shards by splitting the ammunition core. This weapon principle produces a very high rate of fire, allowing the weapon to fire up to a hundred rounds in one or two seconds and each ammunition magazine is good for around 10 of these bursts. Shard weapons are common in pistol and rifle form, with some heavy weapons also seeing battlefield use.
Sometimes the ammunition core is impregnated with virulent and fast-acting toxins. One such toxin is of terrible lethality and works in a complex way, combining with a wounded victim's own genetic material, distorting tissue and causing organs to fail. As the toxin's effect progress it causes the victim's organs and tissues to react explosively.
