  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Soulfire Reactor Node Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited

  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron Containment Shell
  • Bloodsteel Capacitors
  • Cracked Kyber Matrix
  • Obsidian Circuitry Lattice

• Designed specifically for compact vessels, this reactor delivers exceptional power output in a reduced form factor, ideal for elite Kainate starfighters without compromising maneuverability or structural integrity.
• The reactor passively siphons dark energy from nearby dark side nexuses, corrupted environments, or even the malice of the pilot themselves, creating a symbiotic bond between ship and Sith.
• Bolts and beamfire emitted while the system is active gain a dark edge, red-black soulflame that sears through armor and inflicts psychological pain in Force-sensitive targets.
• The system can momentarily exceed baseline power thresholds during critical combat moments, flooding subsystems with excess energy for stronger shields, faster bursts of speed, or high-intensity weapon discharges.
• When operating under stress or during surge cycles, the core vents its excess charge through vents and conduits in the form of ghostly red-black flames, both beautiful and terrifying.
• The alchemical harmonization within the reactor dampens disruptive energy pulses, granting limited resistance to ion-based or EMP attacks by converting unstable surges into inert soul-energy rather than allowing full system disruption.

• Dark Side Efficiency: Performs at peak capacity in Sith-dominated battlefields, Force nexuses, or when piloted by dark side attuned individuals.
• Weapon Synergy: Slightly amplifies weapon effectiveness with metaphysical flame traces that damage Force-sensitive targets or disrupt metaphysical shielding.
• Compact & Potent: Balances size and strong output for nimble but deadly Sith starfighter classes.

• Force-Dead Zones: Severely underperforms or fails in Force-nullifying areas such as Voidstone fields or Ysalamiri bubbles.
• Overload Instability: Output above 130% risks kyber fracture, power surges, or system-wide burnout.
• Dark Side Dependency: Non-dark side or unaligned users cause desynchronization, instability, or total shutdown.

The Soulfire Reactor Node Mk. I represents the bleeding edge of Sith power integration, combining kyber-based reactor technology with forbidden alchemical enhancements. Designed by Malsheem Hypernautics for the Kainate's Shadow Armada, this micro-reactor is a cornerstone in their elite starfighter systems, delivering efficient, devastating power with a dark edge.

At its heart is a cracked kyber matrix suspended in an obsidian circuitry lattice, steeped in dark side ichor and sealed within an alchemized Sarrassian Iron casing. This core draws on surrounding dark side energy, whether from the pilot, battlefield, or broader dark currents, to convert ambient dark signatures into power output.

Its most notorious feature is the soulfire effect: a faint red-black flame that lingers at the edge of energy discharges. Though subtle, this effect can cause burning sensations, disorientation, or corrosion in opponents, enhancing both the psychological and lethality of the fighter.

However, the reactor is not without drawbacks. Force-null zones weaken its output, and misuse, particularly by non-Sith pilots, can lead to catastrophic feedback. Still, for those attuned to the dark side, the Soulfire Reactor Node offers unmatched synergy, performance, and thematic terror. It is more than a power core; it is an extension of the Sith pilot's will.
