Xanthalian Imperial Armada vessels, long powered by the famed fusion catalyst power cores which use large scale fusion to generate power, are finally getting a new power source. The new core, which will have replaced the last of the old types within three months, is called the Dimensional Universe Energy Tapper (DUET), and is the ultimate creation thus far of Xanthalian transdimensional technology. The core uses a phase shifting dimensional rift to gather raw energy from any source in parallel dimensions on an as-needed basis, thus providing vessels fitted with the core to use as much energy as they need whenever they need it without having to worry about ever running out of fuel. The device is inherantly dangerous, but is equipped with hundreds of checks, safety guards, and manual overrides to ensure safe operation. Perhaps the biggest impact this new creation will have on Xanthalian society is an altered set of priorities. Up to now, the Empire has been compelled to claim as many nebulas as possible to fuel their ever growing fleet. Now, the Empire can refocus on space as a whole.
