TRINITY CORE REACTOR​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To provide a crystal-regulated, compact variant of the KHR‑IV hypermatter reactor for advanced ships that prioritize efficiency, modularity, and long-term sustainability over massive raw output.

• Primary Source: CFIE, CIHR, ACS

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
• Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: CHR-KHR‑IVR-X2 “Trinity Core Reactor”
• Modularity: Yes
• Production: Minor
• Material:
  
  • Kyromite crystal regulators (core energy dampening)
  • Boreas cooling lattice wraps
  • Synthek phase channeling mats (for hyperdrive flux balancing)
  • Crystal rods for precision beam alignment
  • Coaxium hypermatter fuel canisters
  • Tritium–liquid hydrogen mix for auxiliary fusion circuit
  • Additional shielding: Doonium/Dolovite

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Crystal-Regulated Annihilation: Kyromite core dampens hypermatter surge reactivity and smooths output transitions.
• Lens Coating: Kalkite enhances energy throughput in beam systems or hyperdrive injectors.
• Vented Cooling: Boreas crystal sleeves manage thermal overload passively—no bulky radiators needed.
• Hyperdrive Sync Option: Integration port for Synthek phase mats to support flux stability in jump conduits.
• Modular Fuel Bays: Capable of single-use Coaxium injection or Coaxium + Tritium assist for extended ops.
• CIHR Compatibility: Power output lines designed to plug into CIHR and power-capacitor arrays like Arbalest.
• Safety Beam Redundancy: Built-in crystal/neodymium rod arrays for contingency power flaring or emergency beam dumps.

STRENGTHS

• Ultra-High Output: Ideal for powering hyperdrives, superweapons (e.g., superlasers), or large fleet reactors.
• Crystal-Backed Regulation: Energy smoothing and thermal bleed reduces risk of surge events.
• Modular Scalability: Fits small frigates, midsize cruisers, or full dreadnought stations.
• Fuel Flexibility: Can operate on Coaxium-only, or extended range with Tritium injection.

WEAKNESSES

• Fuel Handling Complexity: Coaxium management is dangerous; Tritium adds radioactive risk.
• Crystal Dependency: Loss or damage to Kyromite or Boreas elements impairs stability dramatically.
• Mass-Intensive: Requires significant reactor insulation, shielding, and structural support.
• Regulation Required: Must be floored into CIHR or Arbalest systems for safe operation; standalone operation is hazardous.

DESCRIPTION
The KHR‑IV Hypermatter Reactor represents the pinnacle of Gen IV crystal-harmonized power systems. At its core lies a Kyromite crystal lattice—regulating hypermatter annihilation reactions and curbing thermal surges. Boreas crystal coatings manage heat flux passively, while Kalkite lens coatings boost energy control for beam-intensive systems. Synthek phase mats allow for hyperdrive integration and flux smoothing. Fuel options include high-energy Coaxium injections, supplemented by auxiliary Tritium-fusion systems for sustained output.

Housed within Doonium/Dolovite-insulated containment vessels and plumbed with CIHR-compatible power lines and Arbalest capacitor interfaces, the reactor can feed Crystal-Fused Ion Engines, Arbalest capacitors, and superlaser arrays in tandem. Designed for platform-level modularity, this reactor can scale from frigate-grade to dreadnought-level grids.
