Cameleoline
Cameleoline is a rare artificial substance which can be woven into the structure of most fabrics. Morphic polymer chains in the material automatically take on the colours and textures of their surroundings. The material further incorporates nano-weave circuitry which allows it to absorb and nullify common wavelengths of light.[4] The result is that after a second or two motionless the wearer appears to fade into the background, and effectively cloaks their wearer,[4] offering chameleon-like protection from prying eyes.[1][2]
The material of Cameleoline could be fashioned into cloaks, ponchos, coverings and canopies of all kinds.[2]
There is also cameleoline-paint, which is used to cover vehicles, and which acts in the same way as the Cameleoline material.[3]
It is an old Terran innovation and legacy of the Dark Age of Technology.[4]
