The power-transfer system on typical large spacecraft is, in many ways, more complex than the circulatory system of a living creature. Many systems call for massive amounts of power, and while generating this is easy enough; getting it from point A to point B is a challenge. This challenge made even bigger on warships, where the line between A and B might be a smoldering hole, and the power must first be routed through Point C.

Super Conductors

The main-stay of any ship-wide distribution system is the superconductor. Main power transfer lines, which run throughout the ship, are typically these
