→Support Systems
*'''Auger Arrays''' are scanning arrays that allow Imperial Starships to probe and detect sources of energy and heat on planets or in the depths of space, making them useful for detecting incoming enemy ships or pinpointing vital installations on hostile worlds.{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Life Sustainers''' are a collective name for support systems vital for the operation of Imperial starships. These include water filters, air purifiers, void suits, pressurization systems, and artificial gravity.{{Fn|1a}}
*'''[[Plasma ReactorsReactor]]s''' are massive devices which serve as the power sources of Imperial starships.{{Fn|1a}} Their fuel, super-energised plasma, is a thousand times more powerful than conventional nuclear fuel on a ton-for-ton basis.{{Fn|4}}
*'''Grav Plates''' are mostly autonomous and are, once activated, responsible for the creation of a pseudo-gravity field that incorporates inertial compensation. On most spaceship the Grave Plates produce a gravity field of one [[Terran]] standard. On a few other vessels the gravity field is adjusted to be slightly above or below that level.{{Fn|3}}
