-Inspired by the Ascendancy's [[faction:united_outer_colonies:ascendancy_class_flagship#link_device_1|Link Device]], this is a power system designed by [[character:Kage Yaichiro]] as a power source rather than a weapon.  This is intended for use as an alternative secondary power source to Aether, which is easily detectable on sensors.  However, since the pressures normally inside the star are maintained, the benefit is a nuclear fusion reaction which yields as much energy as generally needed to power a ship.+Inspired by the Ascendancy's [[faction:united_outer_colonies:ascendancy_class_flagship#link_device_1|Link Device]], this is a power system designed by [[characters:yamatai:kage_yaichiro]] as a power source rather than a weapon.  This is intended for use as an alternative secondary power source to Aether, which is easily detectable on sensors.  However, since the pressures normally inside the star are maintained, the benefit is a nuclear fusion reaction which yields as much energy as generally needed to power a ship.

 The core cannot really be called a reactor in its normal mode, as it does nothing to sustain or catalyze the reaction, other than maintain a steady inward force to prevent the material from escaping.  All interaction is done via the Micro Link Devices, allowing very fine control--and instant aborts and/or venting should anything go wrong. The core cannot really be called a reactor in its normal mode, as it does nothing to sustain or catalyze the reaction, other than maintain a steady inward force to prevent the material from escaping.  All interaction is done via the Micro Link Devices, allowing very fine control--and instant aborts and/or venting should anything go wrong.
  
-The core can be used as a reactor, when Hydrogen from matter collectors or Helium from the [[corp:motoyoshi_fleet_yards:compressed_helium_container]] is loaded into it.  It then uses a spherial forcefield on its interior to compress the material, and squeeze as much energy as possible out of the material.+The core can be used as a reactor, when Hydrogen from matter collectors or Helium from the [[corp:yugumo_corporation:systems:discontinued_or_retconned_systems:compressed_helium_container]] is loaded into it.  It then uses a spherial forcefield on its interior to compress the material, and squeeze as much energy as possible out of the material.
  
 The Core is hidden, as a sphere within the HEMR Collection System, and has emergency force fields in place should structural integrity fail.  These can restrain the matter long enough for the material to be vented into space.. The Core is hidden, as a sphere within the HEMR Collection System, and has emergency force fields in place should structural integrity fail.  These can restrain the matter long enough for the material to be vented into space..

 These tanks store the helium at pressures which are a significant fraction of what is needed for them to undergo nuclear fusion into carbon.  These can be re-fed into the Reinforced Yamataium Core, and the unit can be used as a conventional reactor, albeit at high pressure and needing less energy to accelerate the helium to obtain carbon. These tanks store the helium at pressures which are a significant fraction of what is needed for them to undergo nuclear fusion into carbon.  These can be re-fed into the Reinforced Yamataium Core, and the unit can be used as a conventional reactor, albeit at high pressure and needing less energy to accelerate the helium to obtain carbon.
