Fluxed Magnet
A type of very advanced magnets used commonly by the Sulethis Republic (SR).
They work by allowing magnetic flux lines to act outside of their normal behavior. By manipulating nearby matter, a number of flux lines can be forced outside the electromagnet and even manipulated to an extent. This is a relatively energy intensive process, and can result in an unstable electromagnet if not extremely well managed (it can have drastic effects on the electricity travelling through the wire as the magnetic force can repel electrons and induce a significant back emf). This technology appears to violate a law of electromagnetism which causes electricity to create a magnetic field under normal conditions. The electricity still creates a magnetic field however, it is just moved to a different location outside the electromagnet. It still obeys t he law of conservation of energy as it still consumes energy to create the magnetic field.
Fluxed magnets have many applications, such as in the notoriously powerful railguns used by the SR, coilguns and other electromagnetic based weapons of the SR. Fluxed magnets also have use in particle cannons, motors, generators, computing and many more.
Although the SR are allied with the HF and Karnol Caretakers, they have not shared this technology with either faction. They do understand the basics, such as being able to move the magnetic flux created by a magnet. As such, this is a technology that remains relatively unique to the SR.
