UFO Power Source (EU2012)

.png) The power supply systems recovered from the alien craft are perhaps the most important piece of technology we've retrieved so far. Although we could spend years researching the intricacies of this equipment, the urgency of our development process means we've had to rely on theoretical analysis more than I would prefer. Despite the risks involved in attempting to reverse engineer this technology, we made a number of small steps towards a fully adapted power cell. Our most important discovery so far, the element we've been referring to as "Elerium", is the vital component that provides nearly limitless energy to the alien power cells. Although there is still much to learn, we believe it should be possible for the Engineering team to begin assembling a makeshift power cell based on our initial findings, which may prove useful in the development of an advanced fighter craft. However, we'll certainly want to do further analysis of the Elerium element that fuels the alien power systems. |

Notes
- Power Sources are required to build several items/facilities such as the Elerium Generator, Firestorm craft and others.
- Research benefits from the following Research Credit: UFO Technology.
- On the Enemy Within DLC this research also allows to build the MEC-2 Sentinel MEC Suit at Engineering. However, you do not require any Power Sources to create the Sentinel.
- Upon exploding, Power Sources deal 10 damage points to any unit standing next to them.
- Power sources can be sold at the Grey Market for §75 each.
