Ahab Reactor

Ahab Reactors (アハブ原子炉 Ahabu Genshi) are high output reactors that are commonly used as the power-plants in mobile suits, communication relay points and space cruisers.

Overview
Ahab Reactors were invented a powerful, highly efficient fusion reactors developed by a scientist name Ahab before the Calamity War. Currently, the technology has been monopolized by Gjallarhorn and as a result, other factions like Teiwaz and Tekkadan have to resort to other means to acquire them, such as recovering old pre-Post Disaster reactors or salvaging reactors from other Mobile Suits that have been disabled. They are thought to have been the cause of the Calamity War, but are still being widely used in spite of that.

Ahab Reactors are physically indestructible, and will produces energy semi-permanently. They generate a special type of particle called Ahab Particles when a phase transition occurs inside the vacuum device. These particles are harmless to life. In addition, the Ahab Waves are generated/emitted from the Ahab Particles. The Ahab Particles are used for artificial gravity and inertial control, while Ahab Waves are able to disrupt radio waves, communications and guided weapons. Even though they are mass-produced, each Ahab Reactor produces a unique frequency that allows sensors to identify them to specific mobile suit units. Ahab Reactors should not be used inside cities because they disrupt the cities infrastructure and cause power blackouts.

Ships like the Isaribi as well as space stations like the Ares possess artificial gravity mechanisms generated by Ahab Particles created within the Ahab Reactors. Artificial may even remain active even after a ship's destruction, as seen with the Shoals Debris Zone.
