7.5 Battery Power Systems
Cost: 3 x Size
All ships carry a network of batteries, stored throughout the ship where ever space may be available, to provide ready power to nearby systems in case of power loss or disruption from primary sources. Some earlier vessels even relied upon these batteries for primary system power (though they could not power propulsion systems). Generally, these batteries are drawn upon constantly to directly power these systems when in normal or standby modes, cutting over the powered systems over to direct EPS feed only when high demand is required. When the EPS power is lost, the batteries automatically kick right back in to support requirements.
