Intent: To create an engine that utilizes Permafrost crystals.
Development Thread: First Order | Sunglasses at Night (x)
Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Shipwright (x)
Model: Crystal Fused Engines | CFE-Permafrost G1
Affiliation: First Order | Open Market [Contract Thread Required]
Modularity: No
Production: Limited; First Order
Special Features:
Crystal Fused Chamber: A specialized chamber that allows the engine to utilize the permafrost crystals.
Detialed Special Features:

Material:
Strengths:
[+] Frozen: The CFE-Permafrost G1 utilizes Permafrost crystals to give weapons (turbolasers) improved cutting power. In addition the Permafrost CFE acts much like a heat sink giving a boost to the engine’s overall performance.
[+] Rapid Fire: The CFE-Permafrost G1 also enables the turbolaser weapon system to fire at a rapid rate, rather than use the crystal’s special property. The CFC or the Crystal Fusion Chamber of the engine uses the crystal’s own energy to give the turbolaser weapon systems an additional source of energy to draw from.
Weaknesses:
[-] Frozen: Using Permafrost crystals is not without its hindrances, in test simulations the crystals have caused the entire engine to freeze up until engineers were able to bring the engine up to a more operable temperature. Unfortunately, this tends to happen when the engine has been under a lot of stress, engineers are still working on how to decrease the chances of the engine freezing entirely.
[-] Systems Down: The engine isn’t the only system that can be impacted by the permafrost crystals, other systems are prone to suffer freezes and shutdowns. The crystal’s unique property can overpower the engine’s own fail-safe system.
[-] Size Matters: The CFE was made uniquely for one type of ship, for the Knights of Ren. This engine cannot be used in ships that are not the Furious-class or of the same size, which is 200m.
Description: The Crystal Fused Engine, a project initially handled by the First Order Corps of Imperial Engineers was handed off to Primo Victorian Shipwright for further development. FOCIE bore the idea of creating an engine that utilised the power of a lightsaber crystal to assist with a ship’s weapons systems. More specifically to assist ships created for the Knights of Ren.
The FOCIE initially refused to create vessels for the Knights, but were urged by Admiral Fiolette Yvarro to consider the possibilities. What they could create for the Navy, after creating for the Knights. Thusly, she tasked her own company, Primo Victorian Shipwright - primarily a blueprint company to create the engine. Initially the engine is no different than any other ship’s engine, however; there is one striking difference. There within the engine is a place to store lightsaber crystals. Crystals, as it requires at least three full crystals to be able to gain the full benefit of having the CFE.
The next question was where to get crystals, with the majority of the Knights of Ren away on Lothal. Ambassador, Industrialist and Sith Acolyte Valessia Brentioch took on the quest to gain crystals. The Scion of House Brentioch chose to go to Hoth for permafrost crystals, taking with her two knights of ren and a handful of other volunteers for the project. After retrieving the permafrost crystals, Primo Victorian Shipwright set about testing the engine, and they discovered something.
The crystals when placed into the fusion chamber, not only enable a faster rate of fire but also gave the weapons a bonus in their cutting power. Afterward the PVS Engineering team redesigned the engine to fit more as a heatsink, realizing that the crystals could give an increased performance to the engine by soaking in more heat than is typical for engines of this size.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the engine was now permanently bonded to the permafrost crystals. Which now meant that if, if they wished to use different crystals, they would have to create different engines in order to utilize them. For now, the CFE-Permafrost would do the initial job that they needed and that was providing the Knights of Ren with a unique engine, for their vessels that would not only fire at a faster rate but would also give a small bonus on damage. The next step was to ensure that the crystals would not freeze the entire engine...
