λ High-Energy Technology
Hyperion technology is capable of generating a huge amount of energy, but also consumes a lot. As a result, many technologies had to be developed capable of running off this huge amount of power. Any copper conductors would burn up near immediately, which is why they made widespread use of superconducting materials, which have no electrical resistance at all.
The energy levels are advantageous as it allows high power drive systems, weapons and shield generators. Civilian starships are often powered by high power fusion reactors but military ships typically use antimatter as a power source.
All ships must be fitted with Zero-Point energy 'reactors', which work by taking energy from the quantum foam. These serve mainly as a backup power source, and should not be expected to power a lot more than essential systems, but can do so indefinitely.
The HF primarily uses a drive system known as Photon Thrusters. These work by firing large amounts of photons backwards. Although photons have no mass, this still propels the ship forwards because photons have momentum. This is a highly efficient form of propulsion as each photon has a much smaller energy requirement than any particle with mass.
However, the huge energy levels has disadvantages. Notably, it is not as safe. Also the huge subspace energy emission can be easily detected from long range, making a ship easy to identify.
Furthermore, they make use of very advanced Tachyonic Radars which can detect and hold very precise tracks on objects at superluminal velocity.
This type of technology was developed from a predecessor technology, Δ High-Energy Technology. In delta technology, antimatter fuel was far less dense and existed in a gaseous state rather than the liquid and solid states in current technology.
