Lore
The Absence doesn't hide — it simply becomes less relevant to nearby
sensors. Voidborn stealth technology doesn't cloak or jam; it operates on
a principle the Collective calls "perceptual displacement," which they
decline to elaborate on. The shield array draws more power than ships twice
this size, leaving almost no room for cargo or fuel reserves. Other empires'
detection equipment occasionally registers an Absence as a cosmic ray artifact
or background noise. The cabin is always three degrees too cold.
