Star Dome creates a multitude of tiny, glowing, ethereal motes that drift here and there throughout a large area, spreading a gentle, silver light wherever they go. Rather than their motion being random, the motes created by Star Dome are drawn to sound and motion and tend to gather in larger numbers anywhere that they sense activity – floating through walls and other obstructions to get there, providing additional light where it is needed most and incidentally making stealth a rather more difficult task than it might be otherwise.
