Stellar Energy Collection Array

Stellar energy collectors use advanced photovoltaic arrays and plasma collection grids to harvest power directly from stars. These systems can be deployed on vessels operating near stellar bodies or installed on space stations to supplement conventional power generation.

The technology includes radiation-hardened collectors that can withstand intense stellar output, conversion systems that transform raw stellar energy into usable power, and storage systems for managing collected energy. While not practical as primary power for vessels at warp, stellar collectors provide efficient auxiliary power during orbital operations and can fully power space stations and planetary installations located near stars.
