It is also an ancient and formerly highly influential [[Hive World]], the Techmage Lords of Belecane have, in recent centuries, lost much of their influence within the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|4}} Unique ancient and barely understood technology of [[Stasis Field|stasis weapon]]s is considered commonplace amongst its population, to the point when young adepts know more about it than the most senior Tech-Priest can elsewhere.{{Fn|1a}} Although their prime in this specialization is now considered to have waned, seemingly dedicated to only hoarding its technologies and jealously guarding its sacred wisdom.{{Fn|4}} The planet is also long well associated with the construction of [[Force Field|protective barriers]], [[void shield]]s and [[Gellar field]]s.{{Fn|2}} The planet holds also a service of storing items in its stasis vaults for anyone willing to save them from the trepidations of time.{{Fn|3}}
