Klein tap

A klein tap is an unusually weighty device that draws energy from a neighboring brane, creating a power source capable of outputting unlimited amounts of energy - at least in theory. The first klein tap was created in 2205, and resulted in the annihalation of Kennedy Station, the device drawing outputting orders of magnitude more power than the Sun for a nanosecond before thankfully atomizing itself and its surroundings.

In 2214 a more reliable tap was discovered, and the mystery of the destruction of Kennedy Station solved. Even still, as of 2222, only a handful of usable taps exist, all of which are dedicated to the Void and Silver Fleets.
