✠ Antimatter reactor

Device which has two roles: Harvest Antimatter and Annihilate Matter. Harvesting antimatter can be done within systems where an antimatter storm is present or above clouds on planets during heavy storms where small amounts are created. In any case, the amounts of antimatter required to supply a battleship is counting in milliliters even at full operation for several years. The risks regarding it are by far the most dangerous, as antimatter has to be transported in special cases under constant magnetic field to not touch any "matter".

Otherwise an explosion comparable to Nuclear warhead is likely to occur. Device is fairly small, and even for a battleship it requires a space of a Rapier fighter. Annihilation process happens when a particle and its respective antiparticle meet and both "annihilate" each other, creating gamma-rays/photons. Therefore, Electrons/Positrons, Protons/Antiprotons, Neutrons/Antineutrons for an easy process not involving any exotic particles.
