Here's the files I promised you. The concept is still in blueprint form, and we only have a base container constructed, so it's a prototype isn't quite done yet. I've been looking into getting an Outpost erected on Witchita though.
Anyway. The device should also be safe to touch too, by the way. The conversion process would have finished by now. Even if this network is secure, it's possible that other native gammuian AI's could attempt to decrypt this signal, but that's obviously unlikely due to the lack of them in the local area. Either way, the firewall should stand, but even so, the attached data will remove itself in time for general precautions. So get it while you can.

I swear to god this relay better be working, I got the 'AI to flush the network requests on the cache server.
The structure is composed of multiple chambers, the reactor chamber in the center, the reactor chamber is layered with an iridium embedded with High-Temperature Alloys to endure high levels of radiation, with Azurite coated on top of the Iridium layers to absorb the energy. The Azurite also provides a means of capturing excess energy, the energy being transferred to another local point in the generator using a process of chemical conduction. The gathered energy would be absorbed into a secondary absorbent layer, the energy is then directed in a flow grid, transferring to an energy conversion unit to conduct the energy levels to a safer level ensure it doesn't overload, supplying the pressurizer and the turbines. Excess energy moves on to the
internal power cache, where it goes to assist in powering the magnetic shielding in the core.
These containers are a vital function to the catalyst reactor, as the Azurite inside them provides a safer and easier way of protecting the internal components from exterior sources - disallowing damage to the core. It allows for direct implantation to the very center of the reactor, channeling the energy and plasma to one focused point.
Fusion reactions occur within the main chamber, the source being alien Powercells - as previous tests conducted, they can act as a sturdy catalyst and powersource provided if it done in the right conditions. Magnetic Superconductors are also made use of, to ensure the energy flow is easily manipulated in the main powerlines.
The outputted particle transfers are carefully guided along the control rods to another chamber, where the atom 'cracking' process happens, generating masses of amount of energy for transfer, the energy is then split down a main power grid, transferring to a containment unit, to distribute the output safely, feeding it through multiple channels.
Some issues with the studies involve: Overheating issues in the excess energy produced - the excess energy is also used to assist in keeping the device powered, circling back to the main core.
Resources: Materials involved are extremely expensive and some of it rare.
The catalyst: Two powercells. A depleted one, used as a depleted material, and an active cell, using the other one as a fusion source, as it's depleted state has a more unstable isotope structure, enabling it to act as a catalyst.
The cells are almost unpredictable, rare, and can pose a risk from side effects.
A secondary catalyst that was proposed was neutronic protocells, but it would be less efficient than using the powercells.
Size: The structure takes up a very large amount of space.
Time: Getting the components constructed takes a long time, especially if it's required to be in a certain complex shape.
The information you have given me is invaluable. The concept on its own is well beyond common energy sources. Thank you for sharing this. It's being stored on the network, and our R&D Devision will begin working on other uses for the concept as soon as we sort out exactly where we'll be basing from.
Anyways, just a heads up, the LSF have been poking around Coronado again. Not entirely sure if they're here for us or your people, but keep an eye out. We've moved deeper into the Barrier for now. Oh, also, that Wichita Outpost idea, we can offer logistical support if necessary. You know, move supplies, so on and so forth. Outpost security, too. We've got some rifles we can put on the ground if the need arises.
Anyways, I've had a breakthough, so I'm occupied with uh... Yeah. Engineering stuff.
We'll keep a lookout concerning the LSF agents, it's quite possible they're after both of us, especially what happened a few nights ago. Though, I have my doubts about that, some aggressive AI vessels have been appearing in the Independant Worlds and the borders of Liberty lately, as you have seen.
Anyway. I'm interested to see what kind of development that you can achieve with the provided information, so, if possible, I'd love to see how your people develop it further. Of course, we can give you some updates on our version in the future too.
And concerning logistics, we can get a third-party supplier to send required materials if needed. For now, we're in the process of preparing the deep repair process on Eidolon's more complex components. Preparations for the Outpost will arranged during this fortnight. When I can, I'll get around to seeing if the Legion will permit the structure.
Give a shout if you need assistance somewhere. I'll be around Vespucci.
