On the Maiden Voyage of the USS Juneau, the crew encountered a bombardment of Eichner Radiation that stuck to the defensive shields and began draining massive amounts of energy from the ship. In order to counter the energy drain, Nyka Wyss led a team of engineers on a risky endeavor to redistribute the energy generated by the fleet’s most powerful engines. She called it the Engine Siphon. By connecting this prototype device directly into a Power Transfer Conduit located in the M/ARA, a continual flow of energy was skimmed-off the plasma flow and redirected to the Power Transfer Grid. | On the Maiden Voyage of the USS Juneau, the crew encountered a bombardment of Eichner Radiation that stuck to the defensive shields and began draining massive amounts of energy from the ship.

Though successful in gaining energy reserves throughout the ship, the device produced a massive energy spike on start-up, which was absorbed by the Jeffrie’s Tube’s power surge protectors. In order to correct this flaw, Wyss has proposed an upgrade, which will add important safety measures to the device. | Though successful in gaining energy reserves throughout the ship, the device produced a massive energy spike on start-up, which was absorbed by the Jeffrie’s Tube’s power surge protectors.
