Zakian Military Report

Well sirs, I am glad this report has finally reached your attention, this will explain much of our military, I’ll start the first how our grand ships are powered.

---------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous Systems
---------------------------------------------------------
The EnPro

The basic principles of plasma power are known to all reading this report (I’ll file details on things like that later) so I will not go discuss that but rather I will discuss they layout of the EnPro reactor.

The EnPro chamber itself is of a hexagonal shape, each of the six planes holds a plasma core, the EnPro is a very modular system so you can assign each plasma core tasks, I’ll give you an example below.

EnPro Plasma Core One: Engines
EnPro Plasma Core Two: Life support and habitat conditions
EnPro Plasma Core Three: Weapons Systems
EnPro Plasma Core Four: Engines
EnPro Plasma Core Five: Auxiliary Systems
EnPro Plasma Core Six: Weapons Systems

Please note, that this is only an example and not actual rigid doctrine, many commanders choose to change the amount of power devoted to each area. The EnPro Plasma Cannon would suck up nearly all the energy from Plasma Core One, Three, Four, Five and Six. Essentially, all systems except for Life Support get minimum power when the EnPro cannon is fired, this is well worth the result as the EnPro cannon is the most potent weapon we’ve conjured for our ships yet.

EnPro Plasma Cannon

The EnPro Plasma Cannon [EPC] draws upon power from the EnPro reactors, the EnPro reactors can effortlessly utilise all kinds of equipment on board ship while simultaneously enter warp space or going at full speed with the EnPro driven engines. However, due to the huge energy requirements of the EnPro Plasma Cannon, most secondary systems will shut down upon firing of the EnPro Plasma Cannon, also, the ship can only move at the lowest speeds when the cannon is charging.

When the EnPro cannon fires, the most obvious visual feature is the huge cyan beam that roars through space, shields fizzle out and titanium melts before this fearsome weapon of war.
