From the Third Age and past the Sixth Age, the NuGenReactor was the preferred method of power generation about GS ships.
The reactor core is a large metal ball (diameters vary according to ship) containing a complex series of chemicals. The reaction of these chemicals gives off heat at a constant 932 degrees Kelvin for 5 years. This core is then used to boil water to generate steam to drive a turbine to generate electricity to run the ship.
NuGen reactors were prefered over other generators for their high degrees of safety, simplicity, reliability, and lack of possible ways to explode catastrophically. Following the de-militarization of the fleet around the begining of the Long Night, it became no longer economical to produce NuGen reactor cores. Following re-armament, a switch to Zero-Point Generators was made.
