SPECIAL FEATURES
- Massive Power Output w/ Minimal Waste
- Various Anti-Hacking Measures
- Singularity -
Utilizing specially designed hyper-dense fuel rods, the "Minerva" is a reactor capable of more than just the traditional output of even a large scale hyper-matter reactor. Highly efficient, with an extremely high output, the reactor is a testament to a new era in not only ship design, but infrastructure as a whole for factory's and planets alike.
Weaknesses:
- Random Apoptosis -
While the reactor as a whole is safe, the reactor utilizes the creation of a singularity to harvest zero-point energy. This hyper-dense black hole created within the reactor is extremely dangerous, as should the innumberable systems within the reactor lose control of it for any reason, it would be able to destroy much of the vessel before the integral stability of the singularity is breached and it collapses in on itself in a massive explosion.
Suffice to say, it will kill everyone in a very large radius if for any reason it fails, is shot, or even hacked.
DESCRIPTION
Created by Blackwell Industries after the study of various reactor designs through the galaxy, bringing the reactor in house was required to lower not only costs, but establish a well endowed reactor market with the added benefit of owning the creation of the fuel. This overall design was built in the fringe department before eventually being passed off to that of the Heavy Industries department, and the starship depart for the sake of ensuring its flexibility with current and future designs.
The reactor works off utilizing numerous hyper dense fuel rods inserted by specialized droids, where once inside they are moved through a series of controls and gates before being eventually combined in the center of the reactor. This can vary in size from the size of a person in rare cases, to extremely large stations such as that of a 80km shipyard, depending on such of its purpose. Once inside the reactor, each fuel rod is combined through a similar process as that of a Dovin Basaal, and how it generates the initial singularity. While the rods themselves are highly durable, if not extremely heavy and dense, once they are put through the process of combination they become highly dangerous.
After they are put into the initial stages of a singularity, numerous repulsor 'arms' rapidly encircle the newly formed black hole, helping to contain its materialistic hunger while ensuring its size and safety. Within this extremely dense center, various devices harvest the true fuel of the device, cups of 'energy' found exclusively in these hyper-dense areas. Zero-Point energy, that which exists in the very nature of every particle, is made so active in this environment that it is far easier to harvest it; effectively allowing a very long lasting and extremely powerful reaction within.
These devices are expensive to install, and often to be maintained with a required response from a specialized technician of Blackwell Industries itself. Its complicated nature makes it a liability if it is damaged, though the real concern can be that if damaged while in naval combat or sabotage, the device has an extreme likelihood of losing control of its singularity and consuming the entire vessel, if not a good portion of a fleet. Numerous safety and contingencies were put in to reduce this possibility, but it is still the most prevalent and dangerous aspect of the reactor as a whole.
