Swarm Battery

Hybrid

When weapon designers couldn’t achieve an acceptable power output with their Swarm-based armaments, they created the Swarm battery, a new type of living power cell. Similar to the insulated gland of a generator drone, a Swarm battery consists of still-living tissue that reflexively adapts to power any item, including non-Swarm varieties, functioning as a high-capacity battery with 40 charges. A Swarm battery can adapt to be recharged at any charging station. It also recharges on its own at the rate of 1 charge per hour, provided it remains within 60 feet of ambient nearby electricity, such as power conduits in a city, a starship’s power core, consistent static electricity, or even the small amount of electricity running through a living body.
