Hypermatter reactor

Hypermatter reactors are reactor cores that function by annihilating hypermatter to generate massive amounts of power.

Operation

Hypermatter was a form of matter that exists in hyperspace and is essentially tachyonic in nature. Trapped inside the realspace of the hypermatter reactors, it is annihilated as it reaches infinite speeds.

Uses

Hypermatter reactors are found in almost all manner of hyperspace-capable spacecraft, from the hyperdrive rings used by some starfighters during the Clone Wars, to the Imperial Star Destroyers. The Death Stars were powered by the largest hypermatter reactors ever built.
