CMS is basically a thin layer of neutronium applied over the hull which hosts the interphasic field that generates the effect that allows it to absorb light waves and sensor and background radiation.
It can't handle any weapons fire as that would cause a feedback to the phasic emitters and generators; who can't absorb that energy resulting in them resetting to avoid an explosion. which leads failure of interphasic field that enables stealth. Thus making you visible to sensors. At that time only your armor is your only protection; which for the Karinnes is a lot as they have compressed Neutronium hulls
Even if RDX is trustworthy when it comes to keeping secrets; she will still tell her own government about the new Karinne breakthrough armor material

Fel I thought only the Faey Imperium knows how to make Neutronium as every other empire uses some other form of armor composites.Fel wrote: They're not keeping this to themselves. Like with the other military tech they've developed, they're developing their own version of it, and they'll then try to develop a generic form that doesn't use biogenic technology for the Confederation to use.
The "recipe" for the Neutronium alloy is common knowledge. What makes Karinne armor different is how they process raw Neutronium to turn it into compressed Neutronium, and that won't be revealed to RDX during the project. But, you're right that if they have to develop a new armor alloy compatible with the interphasic field, then RDX will most likely know what it is. However, she's a Ruu, and in the realm of science, they're relatively trustworthy when it comes to keeping secrets. If they swear her to secrecy, she'll keep those secrets. That's the Ruu way.
