Thermal oscillator

Canon Linked from 38 articles

A thermal oscillator was a component found in various vehicles and machines. A large thermal oscillator was on the Starkiller Base superweapon. This prevented the planet from destabilizing. Starkiller Base used the power of a star to collect dark energy, which then was used to destroy distant star systems. In order to store this energy, the thermal oscillator generated an oscillating containment field which allowed the installation to expend considerably less power than normal at containing the vast amounts of dark energy it required to run.
