Shadow Border

The is an armored vehicle built by Chaldea Security Organization. It is the primary means of transport utilized by Novum Chaldea to traverse the Lostbelts in Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt Prologue
==Principles==
The Shadow Border is a twelve-wheeled armored vehicle capable of diving into Imaginary Number Space, which functions as a mobile base-of-operations for the survivors of Chaldea.
The Shadow Border utilizes an "artificial Servant", namely a younger back-up of Leonardo da Vinci, as a navigator and pilot. When operating in this capacity, Da Vinci resides in a pod in the computing room and is aware of anything occurring within the vehicle.
Due to its intended purpose and the dangers it might face, the Shadow Border possesses considerable defensive capabilities. The vehicle's outer armor is fortified with modern technology and conceptual magecraft, such that normal weaponry shouldn't damage it. It also has both optical and conceptual camouflage to conceal itself. Its inner shell consists of multiple barriers stacked one on top of the other. With Da Vinci having worked together with Paracelsus and Nitocris to strengthen the barriers, they are apparently equal even to barriers from the Age of Gods, nearing the capability of a fortress made from divine steel, though Surtr possessing the body of Sigurd was still able to slice through it with the reforged Gram.
The Shadow Border doesn't possess external weapons, but it has an electromagnetic catapult on its deck to launch certain individuals, such as the Ortenaus-equipped Mash Kyrielight, into battle.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Anastasia: Permafrost Empire - Section 21: The Lightning Tsar Reigns

The Shadow Border is equipped with the , an Ultra-class Mystic Code given to Chaldea by Atlas, which is used to facilitate dives into imaginary number space and to monitor both imaginary and real space. It can be compared to the reflective surface of the moon, displaying everything that exists.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Paper Moon: World Within the Imaginary Compass - Prologue It can display maps in the form of a rotating cylindrical projection similar to a drum roll, and can detect abnormal regions where the world's Texture is different, such as the Lostbelts. The device itself is of a size and weight capable of being handled by an individual.
Usage of the Paper Moon apparently requires authorization from Atlas, and details concerning its operation are contained in the TRI-HERMES records. Paper Moon was created by Sion Eltnam Sokaris of Atlas:Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - SIN: Synchronized Intellect Nation - Prologue what was used as Paper Moon's nucleus was originally something passed down through generations of the Eltnam family. Zepia Eltnam Atlasia transferred its control to Sion for her eighth birthday, who then performed thorough maintenance and expansion it until she was nine. She later gifted it to Chaldea as per their Atlas Contract.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Paper Moon: World Within the Imaginary Compass - Section 1: World Within the Compass/meet AI.
===Zero Sail===
The Shadow Border's primary capability, , is a form of travel devised in the early stages of Chaldea's formation but abandoned due to difficulty and inherent danger.
Taking the opposite approach to rayshifting, where a subject is broken down into Spiritrons and projected to a specific space-time belt, this method involves slipping between the gaps of the world and vanishing from reality, submerging the vessel into , alternatively referred to as Minus Reality, the or the .
The Zero Sail procedure begins with the Paper Moon being deployed and any destinations being set. are then deployed over the Shadow Border’s external armor and the attaching it to is detached. A is carried out for at the and is mitigated. Once the departure procedures and any emergency procedures are completed, the Shadow Border and dives into the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
In order to resurface after submerging into Imaginary Number Space, it is necessary to form a connection with an entity in normal space, with the bond acting as an anchor.

The interior of the Shadow Border is larger than the exterior dimensions through the application of spatial distortion, allowing twice as much room in the internal space than normally possible and making it a barely livable habitat. Rooms in the Shadow Border include:
*: The cockpit also acts as the Shadow Border's .
*Master's Room: Ritsuka Fujimaru's quarters (also known as ).
*: As Mash requires maintenance as a Demi-Servant, the infirmary has become her private quarters.
*: Due to space constraints, the surviving Chaldea staff members have been forced to bunk up to four to a room.
*: Goredolf Musik has occupied the captain's chambers.
*: Da Vinci often resides in a capsule in this room.
*: Sherlock Holmes has made his home in the workshop.
*, , : Goredolf has restricted access to these areas.

==History==
===Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant===
The Shadow Border was constructed in secret in anticipation of certain enemies that might arise following the restoration of the world in the wake of the Human Order Incineration Incident, concealed within a container normally used for waste disposal. Holmes had also familiarized himself with the operation of the Paper Moon system through looking at the TRI-HERMES records.

During the assault on Chaldea by forces from the Lostbelts, the survivors used the vehicle in conjunction with the waste container ejection system to escape from the facility. Driving through Antarctica, they then witnessed several lights descending abnormally from the sky, accompanied by Kirschtaria Wodime's declaration.
Faced with the troops waiting at the coast, Holmes decided to deploy the Paper Moon in order to escape, despite the chance of the system working properly being less than 30%, recognizing it as a necessary step in order to overcome their enemy in the future. The Shadow Border then dove into Imaginary Number Space.
====Anastasia: Permafrost Empire====
After a week in Imaginary Number Space, with supplies running low and tidal conditions giving them a narrow window of opportunity, the Shadow Border was forced to surface, using the Oprichniki to form a connection back to the changed world and surfacing within the Russian Lostbelt, with three months having passed in the world since their departure. While surfacing, the Shadow Border sustained damage which prevented it from diving again until repairs could be made.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Anastasia: Permafrost Empire - Section 1: Empire of BeastsFate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Anastasia: Permafrost Empire, Prologue
====Götterdämmerung: Eternal Icy Fire Century====
Shortly after departing the collapsing Russian Lostbelt, the Shadow Border was attacked by Kirei Kotomine, who succeeded in retrieving the imprisoned Kadoc Zemlupus. After a long journey towards the North Atlantic from Russia, the Shadow Border performed a brief dive to enter the Norse Lostbelt, having to transit the Lostbelt in order to reach the intended destination; the Wandering Sea. During the dive, an unknown presence was detected in the craft's vicinity.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century - Section 1: Assault of the Demonic Sword (Beginning) Not long after the Shadow Border's arrival in the Lostbelt, the craft was attacked by Sigurd-Surtr, who breached the hull and nearly killed the crew before leaving, having succeeded in seizing the Paper Moon.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century - Section 2: Assault of the Demonic Sword (End)
