Quantum Singularity Power Core

The quantum singularity core is a uniquely Romulan technology that uses a contained artificial black hole as a power source. By carefully controlling the singularity's mass and rotation, Romulan engineers extract tremendous energy from the quantum effects occurring at the event horizon.

Unlike Federation matter-antimatter reactors, quantum singularities don't require fuel—they generate power from the fabric of space-time itself through Hawking radiation and frame-dragging effects. The technology provides extraordinary power density and operational duration, though it requires sophisticated containment fields to prevent the singularity from evaporating or growing uncontrollably. The singularity's intense gravitational field also creates detectable spatial distortions that can reveal a Romulan vessel's presence despite cloaking. Containment failure would be catastrophic, creating a runaway black hole, making these cores among the most dangerous power systems ever deployed.
