Solar Dynamics

Solar Dynamics was an interplanetary civilian company that was the premier manufacturer of nuclear reactors in the late 25th and early 26th centuries. The company manufactured nuclear reactors for civilian and military applications, and maintained their dominance of the market through the Human-Covenant war. Only the total destruction of their facilities on Reach and competition from the Strewn Shore knocked them out of first place.

Product Lines

 * Starship Reactors:
 * XSU-940: Experimental reactor incorporating many advances that were gleaned from or inspired by captured Covenant technology. Three manufactured, the first of which was installed as the primary reactor on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn.


 * Aerospace craft powerplants:
 * AP550:
 * AP630: Compact fusion reactor with a maximum output of 80 megawatts. Notably one of the most cost-effective compact nuclear reactors ever manufactured by Solar Dynamics, so much so that the design was spun off into a line of emergency power plants for civilian energy grids.
