 Exohuman settlements relied on three tiers of charging infrastructure:
-**Quantum Fusion Recalibration Stations (QFRS):** One per major settlement; performed automated diagnostics and quantum-field realignment before any recharge.

+  * **Tier-1 Energy Redistribution Nodes (ERNs):** [[Firetown_tier-1_ern|Firetown Tier 1 Energy Redistribution Node]] (geothermal) and [[morningstar_tier-1_ern|Morningstar Tier 1 Energy Redistribution Node]] (Atrana Ridge wind - available in the Beta Age only), capable of delivering the 3.1 GW/160 s ignition burst plus 6–12 h taper-charge to fully recharge any QFB.
-  * **Tier-1 Energy Redistribution Nodes (ERNs):** Full-flux hubs at [[Firetown|Firetown]] (geothermal) and [[Morningstar|Morningstar]] (Atrana Ridge wind); capable of delivering the 3.1 GW/160 s ignition burst plus 6–12 h taper-charge to fully recharge any QFB.
   * **Tier-2 Trickle Nodes:** In [[New Kourou|New Kourou]], [[Hope|Hope]], and [[arla_town|Arla Town]] (Beta Age only); provided medium-voltage conversion for local micro-grids, shortwave towers, µQFB top-ups, and slow-charge (≤ 80 %) for Civilian-Grade packs—incapable of reigniting cold QFBs.
   * **Mobile QFB Chargers during the Great War:** Portable units for [[volunteer_army_of_man|Volunteer Army of Man]] and [[guarding_troopers|Guarding Troopers]]; small-scale converters locking onto local power feeds for emergency field recharges.
 ==== The Charging Process ====
-  * **Diagnostic Scan** → Before charging, QFBs underwent an automated diagnostic scan at a Quantum Fusion Recalibration Station (QFRS) to measure energy depletion and identify regulatory failures.
+  * **1. Diagnostic Scan:** QFB docks into the QFRS cradle; superconducting coils verify regulator health and log remaining lifespan.
-  * **Quantum Field Recalibration** → Field regulators were realigned to stabilize energy flow, ensuring the fusion core remained active.
+  * **2. Quantum Field Recalibration:** Automated micro-adjusters correct plasma drift and stabilize core flow.
-  * **Energy Transfer via ERNs** → If the QFB was approved for recharge, it was linked to an Energy Redistribution Node (ERN) that supplied energy from solar arrays, wind farms, or geothermal plants.
+  * **3. Energy Transfer via ERNs:**
-  * **Gradual Recharge Cycle** → To prevent overloading, QFBs were charged in cycles, with each recharge lasting between 6 to 12 hours, depending on energy availability.
+    * **Tier-1:** ERN capacitor farms discharge a 3.1 GW burst over 160 s, then supply a tapering feed (500 → 50 MW) for 6–12 h.
-  * **Final Calibration & Deployment** → Once charged, QFBs were tested for efficiency, ensuring they could sustain long-term output before being reinstalled into devices, Service Bots, or weapon systems.
+    * **Tier-2:** Trickle nodes provide up to tens of megawatts for µQFB top-ups and slow float-charges on larger packs.
+  * **4. Final Calibration & QA:** Cooling cycle, performance check, and neutron-ink timestamp before dispatch back to devices or Local Hubs.
