By the time of the [[Human-Inhibitor War]], there existed a fleet of lighthuggers that had been upgraded or built from scratch by the human elements fighting the [[Inhibitors]]. These ships were far more advanced than the average lighthugger, and were equipped with an assortment of varied and unique technologies, including optimally stealth [[Dark Drive|dark drives]] that emitted nothing in any detectable spectrum, miniaturized [[Cryo-arithmetic engine|cryo-arithmetic engines]] which cooled their hulls to make them nearly indistinguishable — in thermal terms — from empty space, [[Inertia Suppression|inertia suppression machinery]] that allowed extremely fast acceleration and deceleration, [[Free-force Bubbles|free-force bubbles]] which absorbed enemy attacks, [[Camouflaging Sceens|camouflage screens]] that aided concealment, and extremely heavy armaments, including [[Bladder-mine|bladder-mines]] and [[Hypometric Weapon|hypometric weaponry]]. |
