Reactor/Legends



A reactor core (or just reactor) was a central power generating facility found in starships, space stations and planet-bound power plants of virtually any size.

Reactors could function on vastly different principles, ranging from chemical reactions to nuclear fission and fusion to hypermatter annihilation (the latter requiring high levels of attention to remain stable).

The first and second Death Star utilized hypermatter reactor cores, which in both cases were exploited by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to destroy the gargantuan battlestations.
