SPECIAL FEATURES

• Fusion-Fission cycle: The ARCUS Type 7 fusion cell is built and designed around the principle of gaining massive amounts of energy out of the fusion from stable deuterium atoms into semi-stable tritium atoms, which because of the cheap and abundant nature of deuterium make this a worthwhile endeavour. Because of the unstable nature of tritium atoms, the cycle also includes a fission procedure to return tritium atoms back into deuterium atoms with little effort through a rapid cooling procedure, while this also creates energy, this is rather negligible compared to the energy created by the fusion. This process however means that with minimal decay taken into account, the ARCUS Type 7 would hardly, if ever need refueling.
• Self-powering: This fusion cell has the advantage of also having a fission cycle, thus after the initial generation to start up the fuel cell, the fission part of the cycle, which is considered less impressive in terms of yield, still aids in maintaining the steady fusion, thus the lower energy output of the fission part effectively allows for the fusion part of the cycle to happen after the initial power up of the fusion cell, allowing for the ARCUS Type 7 to have a nigh unlimited powerband, with the highest possible efficiency and little to no fluctuation in the verifiable output.

STRENGTHS

• Durable and stable power supply
• High energy, high efficiency power output
• relatively cheap to maintain
• built-in safety systems preventing critical overload and possible overheating due to damage
• relatively compact
• Internally generated magnetic field makes it highly resistant to EMP and ION

WEAKNESSES

• Not useful for small arms due to size
• fairly heavy
• Complex internals make repairs relatively hard when not done by certified N&Z personel
• if the built-in safety systems are tampered with, critical overload and overheating may result into a thermo-nuclear meltdown which could erase a corvette-sized ship or average sized building from existence.
• Overclocking is widely accepted as a poor choice with this fusion cell.

DESCRIPTION
The ARCUS Type 7 or ARCUS 7 is a compact toroidal fusion cell designed for high density, steady state power generation. It was and is intended as a means to power the future generation of droids, droid starfighters and droid vehicles, but could also see applications in large weapon and defense placements, power generation for medium-sized buildings and small ships, granting it a comparable range of use to the more standard Hypermatter reactors though promising a much higher output, higher efficiency and a generally more financially sound lifespan. Utilizing advanced HTS magnetic containment of the generated plasma through the process of nuclear fusion, combined with Field reversement configuration and plasma stabilization, the ARCUS type 7 promises to deliver the best of both the generated power of a sizeable reactor within the confines of a large power cell.

With the use of readily available materials and an unorthodox fuel-source, the N&Z has managed to make the ARCUS Type 7 an environmentally neutral power source, thus no longer relying on the aftermath of poisonous materials being flooded through or expelled by the fusion cell, in comparison to many reactors with comparable output.
