Dimensional Descent

The Starship could be considered to be Cynthia's magnum opus, the greatest blueprint she had ever constructed and the best Craft that she had ever been a part of. Even so, there were many faults with it, most of which surrounded its shrunken size.

A regular Starship was capable of lasting without a replacement of its core for at least a decade without issue, but Cynthia's could only last a single year. This was still not bad as a year was a relatively long time in the scale of a war, at least. However, this 90% drop was something that hurt quite a bit..

The reason for this was that because the core, a fusion core, was an object that simulated the power of a Star. It was extremely powerful. The amount of power within it was obscene, if it wasn't like this, how could it power such a large vessel? But it was also ironic because of this that the fusion core last a shorter time on this modified starship, rather than longer despite its smaller size.

There were a few reasons for this. The first was cooling, the second was capacity, and the final was size, this time referring to the core's size instead of the ship's.

The cooling of the fusion core didn't just happen within the engine room, but rather throughout the entire ship. The main method used was also the easiest and most effective, and that was diffusion. By using special cooling pathways more effective than even copper could hope to be, the heat was evenly distributed throughout the ship.

The problem was that because the size of the Starship was a handful of kilometers, as opposed to the thousands of kilometers of the original Starship, the change in size was far too drastic to accommodate the original fusion core.

The second problem was one of capacity, and that was that the smaller Starship simply didn't have enough mechanisms that could be powered. Fusion cores had a great amount of volatile energy and it could only calmed and parsed to a certain degree. After a certain point, it would refuse to split. As such, a much smaller Starship could be easily overloaded.

In order to deal with these problems, Cynthia had chosen to shrink the size of the fusion core, and the method she used was actually quite ingenious, but it unfortunately only further exacerbated the problem. Now that the fusion core was also smaller, there was less overall energy and ultimately there was the trouble result of a shorter shelf life.
