Hypermatter reactor

Hypermatter reactors are reactor cores that function by annihilating hypermatter to generate massive amounts of power.

Operation

Hypermatter was a form of matter that existed in hyperspace and was essentially tachyonic in nature. Trapped inside the realspace of the hypermatter reactors, it was annihilated as it reached infinite speeds.

Uses

Hypermatter reactors were found in almost all manner of hyperspace capable spacecraft, from the hyperdrive rings used by some starfighters during the Clone Wars, to the Imperial Star Destroyers. The Death Star models were powered by the largest hypermatter reactors ever built.
