+ | The Val'ta has two powerplants for the purpose of redundancy, needing only one at a time. Parts can be swapped between the two, which greatly eases specialist testing, emergency scenarios and maintenance procedures - allowing the vessel to continue its normal duties without the need for space-docking. The power systems cycle up and down through a set of primary, secondary and tertiary systems, allowing for peak energy when required or ultra efficient low power consumption modes which reduce the ship's profile so it can better detect spacial phenomena or silently operate undetected. | ||

+ | The core of the Val'ta comes in the form of a pair of attenuated clusters, each arranged in spheres as a "brain gear", formerly the product of research of the Lazarus Consortium((AN063)), | ||

+ | ==== Additional Power Components ==== | ||
+ | The engine and power systems of the Val'ta also feature a number of other components which are important: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Chambris Coils** - These crystalline coils provide protection against the excess radiation of the reactor to protect the crew. They are known for being particularly difficult to break, and appears to be un-powered. At least one person has noted the similarity to a horn. | ||
+ | * **Intercoolers** - These provide emergency cooling to the Core and energizer matrix and the **Power Management Chamber**: a specialist "deep room" within the two engine rooms which allow for special access to the reactor though are unprotected from high radiation levels and need to be shut down first before entry is safe | ||
+ | * **Interlocks** also provide a way to jettison elements of the power system for the protection of the ship in the event of an emergency. | ||
