PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Oversight and Administration
  • Information Storage and Processing
  • Power Systems
  • Data and Information Security
  • Operational Phases and Technical Components
    • Phase 1: Ignition - Artificial Core
      • Gravitic Anvil
        • At the heart of the HSE is a spherical chamber lined with thousands of high-density gravity projectors. Upon activation, these projectors fire in a synchronized sequence, compressing a pre-loaded seed mass of heavy, inert elements (e.g., depleted baradium, neutronium slag) into a spinning, super-dense sphere. The pressure and density are so great that the sphere enters a perpetual molten state held together by gravity, forming an artificial core floating in a vacuum.
    • Phase 2: Catalyst - Artificial Solar Radiation
      • Particle Fusion Torus
        • Encircling the gravitic anvil is a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) particle accelerator. This system does not require external fuel in the conventional sense. Instead, it initiates a fusion reaction using minimal starting power, hijacking its primary energy source from the next phase. The torus accelerates protons to near-lightspeed and focuses them into a continuous, high-intensity beam of energy that bombards the surface of the artificial core.
    • Phase 3: Transmutation and Recursive Loop
      • Transmutation Reaction
        • The interaction between the particle beam and the hyper-dense artificial core produces immense gravity and energy forces, forcing a quantum-level transmutation that mimics the natural process through which hypermatter is formed. The atoms at the core's surface are "shattered" and "re-forged" into exotic particles that constitute ultra-pure Coaxium-grade hypermatter.
      • Recursive Stabilization Loop
        • A portion of the newly generated hypermatter is immediately siphoned off via a magnetic scalar scoop before it can decay. If the host platform does not require fuel (solid or liquid), then all of the hypermatter is utilized during this stage, rather than a portion.
        • Due to the perfect reaction conditions within the core, all of the hypermatter produced by the transmutation reaction is pre-refined as ultra-pure Coaxium. This Coaxium-grade hypermatter is fed directly into a plasma conduit and channeled into a miniaturized hypermatter reactor. This reactor generates power by destroying the hypermatter, before shunting the energetic byproduct back to three key systems:
          • Gravitic Anvil
            • Provides the immense, stable power required to maintain the artificial core, far more efficiently than an external reactor.
          • Particle Fusion Torus
            • Supercharges the particle beam, turning it from a simple proton stream into a "hypermatter-infused" beam of incalculable potency.
          • Energy Capacitor
            • The final destination for the vast majority of energy produced by the HSE prior to being utilized by the host platform. This is an ultra-high-capacity energy capacitor, carrying enough power to support ~72 hours of moderate-load operation on most platforms. The energy capacitor is also used to restart the core from an inactive state.
    • Phase 4: Fuel Storage
      • For starships or vehicles that require fuel, the remaining ultra-pure Coaxium-grade hypermatter is stored to be used as a fuel, solid or liquid. Thus, the vehicle has its own self-replenishing fuel source.
  • Utility Systems
    • Diagnostic System
      • Computer brain-powered diagnostic system runs automatic maintenance checks on the HSE and is able to identify parts, systems, and components in need of repair or replacement. It is capable of identifying any and all potential issues that might arise with the system.
    • Power Management Capability
      • Power management systems synchronize with the host platform to monitor energy consumption, controlling energy flow as needed. This capability also allows the operator(s) to control which systems have priority for power. For example, it allows them to shunt additional power to shields in exchange for dampening power flow to weapons or another system.
    • Networking Capability
      • Should there be more than one HSE installed in a single platform, they can be networked and linked together to ensure optimal energy flow to all subsystems.
    • Overload Capability
      • With proper authorization, the HSE’s energy output can be deliberately overloaded to destroy the system and the host platform. This is often used to prevent sensitive technology from falling into enemy hands. However, it should be noted that this capability is locked behind extensive and robust security protocols, often requiring direct security authorization from multiple officers on larger platforms such as capital starships, super-heavy vehicles, and stations.
  • Safety Systems
    • Prevention Systems
      • Gravitic Anvil Harmonic Stabilizer
        • The thousands of individual gravity projectors are slaved to a central harmonic frequency. If any single projector's output fluctuates beyond a 0.001% tolerance, the system initiates a cascade re-alignment, where the surrounding projectors instantly compensate, "catching" the artificial core while the faulty projector is taken offline for micro-second recalibration. The core remains stable without interruption.
      • Recursive Loop Flow Regulators
        • The plasma conduit carrying the recursive hypermatter stream is lined with a series of highly sensitive piezoelectric sonic transceivers. These transceivers constantly fire precisely calibrated pulses of ultrasonic energy through the hypermatter plasma and measure the returning echo. The hypermatter plasma, due to its exotic and energetic nature, has a unique and predictable acoustic signature. Its density, flow velocity, and stability directly affect the frequency, phase shift, and attenuation of the sound waves passing through it. By analyzing these changes in real-time with a dedicated acoustic computer, the system builds a perfect, millisecond-by-millisecond tomographic map of the flow, detecting the minute turbulence that precedes a power surge long before it manifests as a dangerous energy spike.
        • If the acoustic signature indicates an imminent surge, the system responds by injecting crystalline "buffering rods" infused with molecularly bonded neutronium directly into the conduit. These rods are acoustically "tuned" to resonate at the specific frequency of the unstable hypermatter. Their resonant interaction with the plasma absorbs the excess kinetic and thermal energy, dissipating it as a controlled, vibrant pulse of radiation which is then harmlessly siphoned away by the radiation negation system. This provides an instantaneous, non-mechanical braking effect that smooths out the reaction.
      • Predictive Particle Beam Scatter Analysis
        • If the particle beam from the torus loses focus or develops a "hot spot," it could cause a dangerous bulge in the artificial core, leading to a catastrophic imbalance. To prevent this, specialized sensors constantly monitor the beam's profile. Using predictive computation, the system can anticipate a scatter event milliseconds before it happens and make real-time magnetic corrections to the beam path, keeping the pressure perfectly aligned across the core's surface.
      • Primary Coolant Systems
        • The HSE’s primary coolant systems are a critical circulatory system, responsible for managing the immense baseline thermal output of the artificial core and particle torus. The primary coolant is a superfluid, ionized plasma slurry, chosen for its phenomenal heat capacity and ability to be manipulated by magnetic fields. This superheated slurry is circulated through conduits lined with hyper-conductive ostrine-tursturin coils, which transfers the thermal energy directly to the recursive loop. In essence, waste heat is recycled as raw energy to help power the particle fusion torus (or to power other systems in the host), making the cooling process a contributor to the reactor's efficiency in addition to functioning as a safety overhead.
      • Radiation Shielding
      • Radiation Negation System
      • De-Ionization System
      • Cap Drain
      • Terentatek Hide Integration
        • Virtually all critical internal systems are lined with thin terentatek hide sheets. Ultra-thin terentatek hide microfibers are woven into insulation and wiring jackets, integrating Force-resistance directly into the HSE’s electrical architecture.
    • Containment Systems
      • Layered Containment Sphere
        • The chamber housing the gravitic anvil is a series of nested shields:
          • Innermost Layer - Magnetic Scalar Bottle
            • The primary container for the raw hypermatter and particle beam energy. A failure here triggers everything else.
          • Secondary Layer - Concussive Force Field
            • A specialized energy field designed to absorb and redistribute kinetic force. In the event of a core decompression, this field attempts to transform a single, catastrophic shockwave into a "manageable" hemisphere of diffuse pressure.
          • Tertiary Layer - Physical Armor
      • CryoBan Injection System
        • A network of high-pressure conduits, separate from the primary coolant lines, runs along the interior of the gravitic anvil's containment sphere. These conduits are filled with a liquid-state processed CryoBan slurry. At the first sign of a catastrophic thermal spike or a containment field fluctuation, the micro-nozzles lining the chamber simultaneously inject this slurry directly into the chamber as an ultra-fine mist. This mist vaporizes instantly, vast amounts of thermal energy in milliseconds. It creates a momentary "shroud" of absolute zero temperatures along the inner containment wall, snuffing out plasma flares and absorbing the initial kinetic energy of a decompression. While this does not stop an overload event, it buys critical time for other systems to initiate a controlled collapse, preventing a cascading failure.
      • Emergency Radiator Flush
        • This system consists of a network of modular, cartridge-like heat sinks integrated directly into the outer surface of the host platform. This surface is studded with panels filled with a micro-ablative CryoBan slurry. In a thermal overload event, these panels are violently jettisoned, and the superheated plasma coolant from the reactor core is flushed directly into the void left behind. The slurry instantly vaporizes, creating a massive, short-lived cloud of dissipating energy around the vehicle that glows like a miniature supernova. This act radiates away the catastrophic heat, saving the vessel from a core breach but potentially leaving it heavily damaged and vulnerable. It is a last-ditch, single-use safety measure.
      • Emergency Radiation Dampening Foam Dissipation System
    • Termination Protocols
      • Controlled Gravitic Collapse
        • In the event of a major but non-critical failure. the system initiates a sequential decompression. The projectors are powered down in a precise, inward-spiral pattern over a brief period of time (typically measured in seconds), allowing the artificial core to "unwind" and expand in a controlled manner, dissipating its energy as heat via the emergency radiator flush. This prevents an explosive decompression.
      • Emergency Core Ejection
        • If the core becomes unstable and cannot be collapsed safely, the entire gravitic anvil assembly can be explosively severed from the host. A ring of shaped plasma charges can cleanly cut it free, followed by a pre-charged pressor projector array that physically shoves the entire unstable core and its containment chamber out of the host at high velocity. The core is then detonated remotely at a safe distance.
STRENGTHS
  • Unlimited Power: The HSE has significant output and can produce virtually endless amounts of energy and fuel. It is capable of driving many power hungry systems at once, minimizing issues with energy capacity.
  • Deep Reserves: Given coaxium’s high energy density as a fuel (with only a small quantity being sufficient to power an entire fleet of ships), the HSE does not need to be “always on”. In fact, under most operating conditions (even during high-intensity combat), the core is inactive, with the host ship/vehicle running on power from the HSE’s energy capacitor and coaxium fuel harvested from a previous cycle. This only further augments the HSE’s safety, making the risk of breaches almost nonexistent, even during demanding combat operations. In addition, vehicles/ships that run on coaxium do not need large fuel tanks, minimizing the risk of fuel explosions and allowing the space to be used for other systems.
  • Resilient: The HSE has integrated terentatek hide, providing resistance to the Force. Anti-EMP and Ion measures are present in the form of reinforced duraplast electronic hardening and a combat de-ionization, allowing the system to resist high-energy electromagnetic discharges or quickly return to function in the event that it is compromised.
  • Strategic Mobility: The ability to synthesize hypermatter allows the host platform to operate further away from supply lines. The HSE outright eliminates the need for tankers and fuel vehicles, allowing for more freedom of movement in strategic contexts.
WEAKNESSES
  • Prolonged Ignition Sequence: The process of initiating the gravitic anvil and particle fusion torus to create the artificial core is not instantaneous. It requires a prolonged and power-intensive "spin-up" sequence, lasting from several minutes for a small unit to hours for a capital-scale engine. During this vulnerable period, the host platform must rely on its energy capacitor and cannot initiate a new synthesis cycle. An attack that forces repeated shutdowns and restarts can effectively strand a vessel by depleting its capacitor reserves before a new batch of hypermatter can be synthesized.
  • Gravitic Collapse: If the gravitic anvil were to fail, the artificial core risks being instantly decompressed. The resulting energy release has the potential to be catastrophic, potentially vaporizing the host platform. Although there are several safety systems in place to prevent this event under most circumstances, such a catastrophe remains a risk, especially in cases of deliberate sabotage.
DESCRIPTION
Designed by First United Astral Engineering, the FAE/G-01 Hypermatter Synthesis Engine is the company's first natively developed power and propulsion system. Intended to unshackle its platforms from the logistical chains of conventional fuel dependency, the primary objective of the HSE’s design is to grant vessels and installations virtually unlimited operational range and endurance.

The HSE achieves this by replicating the natural, cosmic process of hypermatter formation within a controlled, contained environment. By generating an artificial planetary core and bombarding it with focused particle radiation, the engine catalyzes the transmutation of base materials into ultra-pure, Coaxium-grade hypermatter. This synthesized fuel can either be stored for propulsion or immediately annihilated in an integrated hypermatter reactor, creating a self-sustaining cycle that provides both a limitless fuel source and immense power generation.

It is notable that development of the HSE took notable inspiration from the Hybrid Antimatter Power Unit designed by HPI Consortium. However, in lieu of antimatter, First United Astral Engineering’s designers opted to work with hypermatter for its superior energy density and stability as a storable fuel. From this foundation, safety was paramount. The HSE is integrated with a multi-layered defense architecture of prevention, containment, and termination protocols. These systems, combined with the fact that the core does not need to be frequently cycled, results in a power plant renowned for its stability and inherent safety.

In all, the FAE/G-01 Hypermatter Synthesis Engine is hoped to revolutionize starship design and mobile power generation. It provides the foundational energy backbone to power the next generation of the company’s most ambitious and advanced technological creations.
