Scavenged Battery Rig
A wall of mismatched ship batteries — fleet surplus, prize cargo, things found floating — chained in parallel and jury-rigged to the power bus. It works. Mostly.

Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedThe rig holds. Cell tags spell out the names of three navies and a freight cooperative, and they're all charging in unison. The bus rides through the worst of the production beats.
StarvedHalf the cells are flat and one has started smoking again. The rig is back to ballast, the bus is on raw reactor output, and engineering is taking bets on which battery goes next.
Upgrade Chain
Scavenged Battery Rig has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
