→Unknown STC fragment in Space Hulk: Deathwing (Video Game)
::First of all I think it is really important to distinguish between STC (=the actual item constructed by or on the basis of) and the STC system (the system behind it). So there is no single answer what an ''STC'' looks like. As to what an STC ''system'' looks like I do not think there is a very clear answer. But I know (vaguely) that some novel authors wrote a bit about it. For example the (by now quite old) [[Into_the_Maelstrom_(Anthology)#Children_of_the_Emperor]] ('''not''' the Chaos Space Marines). And I guess there were mentions strewn across other novels. Wasn't the Gaunt's Ghosts where they encounter the Men of Iron (?) also something to do with a STC? In many cases unfortunately it is not even clearly stated that the technology in question ''is'' STC, only that it ''might''... --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 04:10, 31 March 2019 (MDT)
:::I agree, hence why I laid out the categories above. Also, we do have SOME images of what they look like. Such as the image of the Rogue Trader with the STC fragment, as well as the ingame STC fragment models in Space Hulk: Deathwing. --[[User:TheNuclearSoldier|TheNuclearSoldier]] ([[User talk:TheNuclearSoldier|talk]]) 09:31, 4 September 2019 (MDT)

==Unknown STC fragment in Space Hulk: Deathwing (Video Game)==
In the game, there is an STC fragment of an unknown item. It sort of looks like a basic pulley, but its labeled as "MARS40", which is a label shared by other Mechanicus STC fragments (such as the Arc Rifle) in the game and the name of the operating system used for the cogitators aboard the mechanicus vessels. It has a binary code on it, but the code only translates to "Uf" repeated 15 times. Any idea what this thing is?[[User:TheNuclearSoldier|TheNuclearSoldier]] ([[User talk:TheNuclearSoldier|talk]]) 20:37, 27 September 2019 (MDT)
:We should not speculate. If need be we describe it exactly as it is and add a picture, problem solved. --[[User:Inquisitor S.|Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum]] ([[User talk:Inquisitor S.|talk]]) 23:46, 8 October 2019 (MDT)
