I find it.......quaint....that you get help from those Gallic speaking comedians. I also find it no surprise that you would turn on us like this as you did the Corsairs and SCRA before. But, that's not the purpose that I transmit this to you.
You want this piece of equipment. Perhaps this proves that maybe you aren't as sharp as you claim.
The Persephone runs on an artificial singularity motor. Using an artificial black hole as an energy source is a theory in applied physics since early to mid 20th century Earth. In short, it's old news that's been improved. It is alien tech, NOT Nomad tech and there is a difference.
Now the dome you see is not the black hole generator - but an "inverted graviton field" - that is why you also see micro-comets or micro-asteroids impacting on it every now and then.
The former owners of the ship activated this device as a safety measure. - should the black hole generator fail or the shielding fail - the resulting catastrophic event would only "swallow" everything ... *** inside the inverted graviton bubble *** - making the enviroment safer.
However - since this is not a SHIELD - and it EXTENDS the shield of the ship - firing on it destabilizes it - hence dramatically increasing the danger of a catastrophic cosmic event which can easily be summed up as an uncontrollable black hole that drifts through space - also a known phenomenon that can endanger entire star systems, because it is literally unstoppable.
All that said. Is the reactor alien? Yes it is. Is it Nomad? No, it isn't. If you truly had a knowledge of advanced science, you would know this. I've studied plenty of science myself on this. Here's a bit more for you.
The ship uses an effect known to humans as the "Penrose Mechanism" - which makes use of the schwarzschild disk that forms around black holes - using the resulting kinetic energy of the rotation by frame dragging - in other more mundane words - it is a gravity powered dynamo.
Additionally - the astrophysical jet ( matter stream that is exhausted from the black hole ) is channeled into the graviton shield - hence allowing the black hole to create a nullifying effect that is naturally always 100% the strength of its own gravitational pull.
What you end up with is zero-point neutrinium - or a black hole with the characteristics of a black hole - without the nasty side effects like time distortion or getting smashed by immense gravity.
The device itself is - as you may call .. "failsafe" - because the astrophysical jet always nullifies the event horizon - even a catastrophic failure will only result in the black hole swallowing itself. The Persephone runs on a black hole that is stabil - meaning it does not eat itself up.
Now, rather than coming here with a show of force to just take it for yourselves, maybe you should come here with scientists and there ships and learn from it. Perhaps then you can build one for yourselves. I don't want bloodshed anymore than you do.
