Dark Energy

Dark energy, also referred to as negative energy, is the main power source for several forms of technology. The most impressive means of harnessing dark energy is through a dark energy core reactor (DECR), which come in several different sizes, smaller models once started will power itself indefinitely, unless drained of it's self sustaining charge. At the center of all DECRs is a simulated singularity, ranging from microscopic, for batteries, to large ship power plant.

With smaller DECRs, like those found in QUBES, the micro sized singularities are caught in a perpetual state of self collapse (which creates the most efficient means of energy production), creating a lack of need for external fuel, but at the great sacrifice of power output. While extremely efficient in terms of power output and self sustinence, fuel is still required on larger models, not only to maintain the containment fields, but also to feed the singularity and produce more energy. The fuel requirements for larger DECRs are due mostly to the size of the singularity, the size of the core is big enough that it will actually collapse in on itself when starved for energy.
