Power plants. Determines energy capacity and energy regen rate.
| Name | Manufacturer | Tier | Level | Capacity | Recharge | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG-1 Power Cell | Nexus Standard | I | 1 | 150 | 10 | 500 | Fission-based power generation. Entry-level output. Reliable, simple, repairable with standard tools. |
| Praxar Surge Mk I | Praxar Armaments | I | 1 | 135 | 9 | 950 | Keth-spec reactor. Lower sustained capacity than Varath alternatives but the overclock burst is immediate. Tempest pilots use it to front-load damage in the opening seconds. |
| Refined Fuel Cell | Unknown | I | 1 | 135 | 9 | 850 | Processed fuel for warp drive systems. High-grade commercial specification. |
| Stratum Core Mk I | Stratum Field | I | 1 | 165 | 10 | 1050 | Varath-spec reactor. Higher sustained output than baseline. The overclock path is why Vanguard deployable turrets keep firing when everything else runs dry. |
| Vigil Resonant Mk I | Vigil Forge | I | 1 | 173 | 12 | 1100 | Meridian-spec reactor. Larger energy pool and faster recharge than baseline. The ability cost reduction is why Wardens can sustain Jumpstart mid-fight. |
| Medical Supplies | Unknown | II | 15 | 252 | 18 | 600 | Standard pharmaceutical kit. Always in demand at frontier stations. |
| PG-2 Fusion Core | Nexus Standard | II | 15 | 280 | 20 | 2500 | Compact fusion. The standard for pilots who use abilities regularly. |
| Praxar Surge Mk II | Praxar Armaments | II | 15 | 252 | 18 | 4700 | Mid-tier Keth reactor. The overclock ceiling starts to matter for ability-heavy builds. Wraith Phase chains are sustainable at this tier. |
| Stratum Core Mk II | Stratum Field | II | 15 | 308 | 20 | 5100 | Mid-tier Varath reactor. The overclock capability starts to differentiate from baseline PG units here. Sustained combat is where this pulls ahead. |
| Vigil Resonant Mk II | Vigil Forge | II | 15 | 322 | 24 | 5400 | Mid-tier Meridian reactor. The ability cost reduction starts to matter at this mark — sustained shield abilities become viable over long engagements. |
| PG-3 Plasma Reactor | Nexus Standard | III | 30 | 530 | 38 | 10000 | Plasma containment. Sustains heavy ability use without output degradation. Common on Varath Vanguard builds. |
| Praxar Surge Mk III | Praxar Armaments | III | 30 | 477 | 34 | 15500 | Combat-tier Keth reactor. Short, violent engagements are where this is better than everything else. Long fights are not where Keth pilots plan to be. |
| Station Rations | Nexus Standard | III | 30 | 477 | 34 | 200 | Compressed food blocks. Nutritionally complete; culinarily not. Nexus Industries standard. |
| Stratum Core Mk III | Stratum Field | III | 30 | 583 | 38 | 17000 | Combat-tier Varath reactor. Long fights favor this. The sustained output advantage over Praxar Surge becomes clear past the two-minute mark. |
| Vigil Resonant Mk III | Vigil Forge | III | 30 | 610 | 46 | 18000 | Combat-tier Meridian reactor. Meridian ability chains that would drain a standard reactor are routine with this. The buff duration extension compounds over time. |
| Encrypted Data Chip | Unknown | IV | 45 | 945 | 63 | 1500 | Personal data storage. The encryption is not your business. Pays well on delivery. |
| PG-4 Zero-Point Cell | Nexus Standard | IV | 45 | 1050 | 70 | 35000 | Zero-point energy extraction. High capacity; output curve is not fully linear — pilots report sudden availability spikes under stress. |
| Praxar Surge Mk IV | Praxar Armaments | IV | 45 | 945 | 63 | 48000 | Upper-tier Keth reactor. The Blood Challenge window a Tempest gets is decided in the first few seconds. This reactor is built for those seconds. |
| Stratum Core Mk IV | Stratum Field | IV | 45 | 1155 | 70 | 52000 | Upper-tier Varath reactor. The Fortify deployable network that makes a Vanguard a walking fortification runs on this. It is not subtle. |
| Vigil Resonant Mk IV | Vigil Forge | IV | 45 | 1208 | 84 | 55000 | Upper-tier Meridian reactor. A Wayfinder with this and full energy management can maintain Cloak almost indefinitely between engagements. |
| Beacon Network Uplink Key | Unknown | V | 60 | 1800 | 117 | 2000 | Authorization token for secure Beacon Network data access. One-time use. |
| PG-5 Dark Matter Core | Unknown | V | 60 | 2000 | 130 | 100000 | Dark matter reactor. Extreme density. The Meridian have been studying this technology for longer than the Varath have been manufacturing it. |
| Praxar Surge Mk V | Praxar Armaments | V | 60 | 1800 | 117 | 132000 | Endgame Keth reactor. The burst ceiling is the highest of any reactor in this tier. The capacity floor is also the lowest. Praxar considers this a design feature. |
| Stratum Core Mk V | Stratum Field | V | 60 | 2200 | 130 | 145000 | Endgame Varath reactor. Stratum's industrial heritage shows here — this was designed for the kind of sustained output that capital ship combat demands. |
| Vigil Resonant Mk V | Vigil Forge | V | 60 | 2300 | 156 | 150000 | Endgame Meridian reactor. Vigil does not publish the full efficiency figures for this model. The ones they do publish are already unreasonable. |
| PG-6 Quantum Core | Unknown | VI | 75 | 3800 | 240 | 300000 | Quantum vacuum reactor. Peak output in known manufacturing. Roughly a third of these were built from components that nobody has conclusively sourced. |
