A ZPEG, or a Zero-Point Energy Generator, is a hybrid item that generates a constant but mild flow of energy. Forever. It never runs out and never needs recharging, but it can only provide a charge equal to its rating on any given draw.

The battery form is shaped like a common battery cell and can be inserted into any conventional battery compartment. This is not a worn item. The field form is a worn item; it pushes power to all devices held by the user, whether or not a battery is inserted. This prevents the user from wielding any devices with a usage higher than the rating.

A draw is considered to be a single pull of the trigger or activation of a device. For anything rated in X/hour, X/minute etc. this should be converted to X/round to compare against the draw; usually even a mk 1 is sufficient to cover those needs. The ZPEG does not generate any other resources that might be consumes such as replacement filters - it's purely a battery.

Also on the battery front: most weapons and tools take A-cells. B-batteries are found in terminals. C-packs are found in vehicles and power armor. D-banks are found in generators and recharging stations. E-piles are found in backup power supplies.

There's a size implication; you need to match the physical size of your power source to its application. A converter lets you get around that. It jacks into the battery compartment and handles any energy upsert needed to let you power a gun from a generator, a vehicle from a bucket of cells, so on and so forth.

Planetary Armor does not come with environmental protection. In trade it comes with something else - KDR, DR specific to Kinetic damage.
