[Darth Prazutis]

• Intent: To create a dark side-powered reactor system for Kainate vessels that uses bled kyber crystals to supply volatile, powerful energy to advanced ship systems.

• Manufacturer:
  
  • Darth Prazutis
  • Shadow Mind
• Affiliation:
  
  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Dark Core Reactor Mk. I
• Modularity: Yes (The bled kyber crystal can be replaced or retuned; housing and amplification matrix can be adapted for different ship sizes.)
• Production: Limited
• Material:
  
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron
  • Bled Kyber Crystal Core
  • Dark Energetic Components
  • Sacrificial Binding Circuits

• Dark-Side Fusion: Channels the raw hatred and power of a bled kyber crystal to generate immense energy. The crystal pulses with wrath, feeding off the malice around it to increase output in battle conditions.
• Pain-Echo Circuitry: Converts ambient pain, fear, or psychic disturbance into supplemental energy. This allows the reactor to grow stronger the more chaos and suffering surrounds the ship.
• Metaphysical Conduit Array: Powers not only ship systems but also Force-based or alchemized systems. It acts as a dark-side capacitor, keeping sorcerous systems charged even under intense suppression.
• Kyber Core Recalibration: Crystal can be periodically retuned to match user intent, amplifying resonance. This process can be done ritually to align with a Dark Lord's will, making the system feel like an extension of their power.
• Ritualized Overload: Reactor can be triggered into a suicidal overload to create a dark-side energy pulse on destruction. This eruption causes massive devastation briefly, unleashing a wave of Force-fueled torment that can disable nearby ships and stun Force sensitives.

• Power Unbound: Far surpasses conventional reactors in output, especially in combat or dark side-laden areas. Its energy levels spike in proximity to suffering, hatred, or concentrated Dark Side nexuses, turning battlefields into power fonts.
• Force-Compatible: Enhances all Sith aligned systems like Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Arrays, force infused shields and more. Ship systems not only run more efficiently but gain augmented effects when powered by the Dark Core.
• Pain-fed Efficiency: Draws ambient trauma to enhance normal energy flow in prolonged combat. As enemy morale breaks and casualties rise, the reactor burns hotter, turning agony into dominance.

• Force Nullification: In Force-dead zones or near Voidstone, energy output drops. This weakens dark systems temporarily and limits the ship to only basic mechanical functions during exposure.
• Instability Risk: Damage may destabilize the reactor. If not properly regulated, it can spiral into a cascade of energy feedback, threatening catastrophic failure.
• Corruption Hazard: Close contact over time can degrade or warp crew not protected by shielding or mental fortitude. Symptoms include night terrors, emotional volatility, and eventual Force induced psychosis.

Forged in the obsidian crucibles of Malsheem and perfected by the dark genius of Darth Prazutis and the Shadow Mind, the Dark Core Reactor Mk. I is the ultimate testament to the Kainate's marriage of Sith sorcery and bleeding-edge technological design. It is not merely a reactor, it is a soul-devouring heart of darkness that turns agony into energy, fear into fire, and hatred into power. Right at the core of the system lies a massive bled kyber crystal, blackened by ritual torment and psychically tuned to rage. Suspended within a containment matrix of alchemized Sarrassian Iron, inscribed with spiraling sacrificial runes, the crystal pulses with malignant life. This is no passive generator; it is a living engine of wrath. The crystal does not simply radiate power, it howls with it, screaming in the Force with every throb of energy output. Its ability far outstrips conventional reactors in nearly every way.

The Dark Core thrives in warzones. As the battle intensifies and the surrounding space bleeds chaos, the reactor's Pain-Echo Circuitry absorbs ambient suffering, psychic distress, and raw emotion. Each death, every cry, fuels its hunger. Systems once considered energy-intensive, Sith technology like Painwave Emitters, Catastrophe Flak Arrays, Sith ritual conduits, and more become effortlessly powered and amplified, their performance heightened to horrific levels under the influence of this infernal core. Its capabilities extend beyond brute power. Through its Metaphysical Conduit Array, the reactor maintains a direct link to Force-imbued ship systems, ensuring that even during partial suppression, rituals and alchemical processes continue uninterrupted, and when aligned with a Sith commander, the Kyber Core Recalibration process allows the Dark Core to attune itself to its master's will, turning ship and Sith into a single, wrathful entity.

But with such apocalyptic power comes a price. The Dark Core's emissions degrade minds, corrode morale, and warp unprotected crew near it. Exposure without ritual shielding leads to hallucinations, violent mood shifts, and full mental collapse. Prolonged interaction with the core without strong will or psychic protection can result in Force induced psychosis. The presence of the Dark Core is not just sensed, it is felt, gnawing at sanity with every pulse, and if its time comes? The Ritualized Overload Protocol can be enacted, whether as a desperate last stand to ensure ships dont fall into enemy hands or deliberate acts of terror. The bled kyber is pushed into unstable resonance, collapsing into itself and releasing a metaphysical detonation of dark power and pain echoes. Force users are stunned. Systems fail. Sensors collapse. The battlefield shudders in silence and then screams.

In the Shadow Armada of the Kainate, the Dark Core Reactor Mk. I is more than just technology. It is an apocalyptic altar. A power source born from cruelty. A thrumming, wrathful monolith that feeds on despair and answers only to domination. It does not simply power a ship. It empowers an empire of fear.
