A solarium reactor is a kind of high-output nuclear reactor prized for its portability and output. Solarium reactors use solarium as a fuel source, typically in the form of solarium stars.
Solarium reactors fission solarium to harvest intense beta radiation from it. Generates a large amount of power capable of powering buildings, mechs, ships, warp drives, etc. Highly scalable, though cannot be fit on small things like drones. Found on most civilian corvettes. Solarium reactors are rather simple and cheaper compared to other types of reactors, given there is no need for any sort of turbine; when a star is inserted by the consumer, the reactor ejects the casing, and then sends a burst of neutrons into the star to activate it. The star goes critical and begins releasing a large amount of beta radiation, which is collected by a conductive shell lining and then transferred out through a high voltage power line. The reaction can be slowed or stopped via the insertion of a graphite control rod through the center hole of the star. Solarium reactors are also cheaper, as they require less components.
There are two other types of solarium reactors as well: betavoltaic cells, and solaric reactors.
