Energy

Energy is a resource used to power certain elements. Energy is generated by power units and consumed by elements that require energy, such as some weapons, lights, screens, control consoles, and so on. Different sizes and types of power units will produce different amounts of energy, and different types and sizes of elements will consume energy at different rates. Certain elements will not function without sufficient energy, so constructs will need to be built with the ability to generate at least as much energy as they consume in order to function with all elements active.
