The '''Sun Device''', also known as the '''Solar Manipulator''', was apparently built by the [[Precursors]] to function as an artificial radiation source for cold planets. Containing an amazingly powerful exotic energy generator, the Sun Device is a relatively small apparatus that can produce 0.01 percent or so of the Sun's total radiation; this object can be placed in low orbit around a planet, meaning almost half of the radiated energy will be absorbed by the planet. This is a huge amount of energy to add to a planet at once, equivalent to giving the planet a new, artificial sun.<br />
<br />
This unique artifact was safeguarded by the [[Mycon]] for a very long time (most recently at [[Beta Brahe]]); whether it was intended for their use originally or merely found and used by them is unclear, but it was a very important tool in the Mycon's expansion, allowing them to augment the temperature of planets that would otherwise simply be too far from their stars to provide the heat in which the Mycon thrive. The Mycon thus treat the Sun Device as a holy object, calling it the "pod of [[Juffo-Wup]]," and guard it zealously. By working with the [[Syreen]] to lure most of the Mycon fleet into a [[Ambush at Organon|trap]], [[The Captain]] is able to overpower the guards at the Sun Device's world and steal it, knowing that it is the only object capable of accelerating the Process of hybridization between the [[Chenjesu]] and [[Mmrnmhrm]].<br />

==Gameplay notes==<br />
===Sources of information===<br />
<br />
Both [[Tanaka]] and the [[Yehat]] offer information about the location of the Sun Device. Tanaka also provides a brief description of the device's capability.<br />
<br />
The proto-[[Chmmr]] state that The Process is driven by radiant energy (light). Although they do admit that larger amounts of light might speed up the process, they warn that it could be dangerous.<br />

Youre the one with the barnis here. Im watching for your posts.<br />
<br />
===Uses===<br />
Using the Device while in orbit of [[Procyon II]] causes the Chmmr to emerge, immediately initiating a conversation with the new race.<br />
<br />
===Relevance to the plot===<br />
The Sun Device is essential to completing the game. Once free from the [[slave shield]], the [[Chmmr]] are able to provide [[Avatar]]s to the [[New Alliance]] as well as [[Amplified Precursor Bomb|modify]] the [[Utwig Bomb]] (and [[The Flagship]]) for the final assault on the [[Sa-Matra]].<br />
