Shadow Device

A Protoculture device that has been designed to be concealed from most forms of detection.

A Shadow Device is a Protoculture device that has been designed with a fourth dimensional configuration to generate a Shadow Dimensional Field around a vessel to conceal it from most forms of detection except, most notably, the visual spectrum. The Robotech Expedition's Earth Reclamation Force used these in their Shadow Fighters during the final assault against the Invid stronghold at Reflex Point.

Intelligence officer Sue Graham explains the underlying principles of Shadow Devices.
