	The [[Singularity Engine]] is the most likely candidate for your default power source, unless the Nanotrasen architects have been messing around again. It should go without saying that, since the singularity is essentially a black hole, it should stay inside of its containment field and not grow too big. Also keep in mind that it pulses large amounts of radiation and EMPs, so always wear an engineering hardsuit or a radsuit when you're near it, and keep flashers and other sensitive electronics away from it (including cyborgs). Don't come near it in the atmospherics hardsuit, which had its radiation shielding stripped to make place for thermal shielding.
