Pulse Collection Device

A Pulse Collection Device or PCD is a unique and versatile piece of technology used to power a number of weapons and items through the use of Pulse Energy by slowly gathering trace amounts which radiates into our dimension from N-Space.

Creation And Applications
PCDs were created by researchers at the Farpoint Crucible in what has been the only successful attempt to capture pulse energy from N-Space to date. PCDs manage this by only collecting the trace amounts of pulse energy which radiate into our spacetime directly from N-Space and store it in a series of capacitors for later use. While most PCDs can only gather enough energy to power small pieces of technology, others have been capable of powering weapons such as the Shard Rifle and Seeker Blasters thanks to creative solutions that capitalize on the fact that N-Space is constantly radiating a small amount of pulse energy into our universe.

However, PCDs cannot sustain more complex machines such as starships and automata as their power requirements are far greater. Attempts are being made to create an emergency PCD for automata to use when their main source of power is depleted, but have yet to yield notable results.
