 ===== Overview =====
-Energy Redistribution Nodes (ERNs) were localized power relay stations built during the [[beta_age|Beta Age]] to support the re‑charging of [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Batteries (QFBs)]]. Inside a Tier‑1 ERN sat a pulse‑shaping capacitor farm and a superconducting flux‑gate able to deliver 3.1 GW over 160 seconds, the ignition profile Helion Dynamics specified for snapping a dormant QFB back to life. That burst is followed by a 6‑to‑12‑hour taper‑charge that saturates the battery’s graphene cells — a demand far beyond what rooftop panels or diesel gensets could dream of supplying.

 ===== Strategic Importance =====
-Control over the two Tier‑1 ERNs equated to control over operational QFBs — the key to drones, med‑labs, and high‑tier weapons. During the [[great_war|Great War]], both sites became flashpoints: Firetown’s geothermal well was ringed with auto‑turrets, while Morningstar’s wind plateau saw repeated sabotage strikes timed to storm lulls.
