Cards in this deck (10)

1—Ion Engines
(The Additional power is used to Ionize xenon gas to power the engines)
2—Auxiliary Power
(Backup power for the ship)
3—Turbines
(Helium is fed through the turbines to create additional power)
4—Compression Laser Array
(Used to compress the core into a small sphere)
5—Plasma Transmission Pipe
(Fusion creates helium as a byproduct, which is removed through the plasma transmission pipes)
6—Hydrogen Storage
(Stores hydrogen to be injected into the core)
7—Neutron Fuser Array
(The lower injector pipe has a neutron fuser array to convert hydrogen to deuterium or tritium for injection by fusing the hydrogen atoms with additional neutrons)
8—Power Transmission Pipe and Converter
(The power transmission pipe converts the energy produced by the fusion reaction into electrical energy via the power converter, which is fed to the rest of the ship)
9—Fuel Injector Pipe
(hydrogen gas is vented in from the fuel injector pipes on the top and bottom)
10—Reactor Chamber
(The reactor chamber is the central ignition chamber)
