Entropy Sinks

Entropy Sinks are a critical part of any modern warship’s heat-control system, replacing clumsy radiators and radiants with sublimely efficient heat-dissipation circuitry. Derived from posthuman technology, entropy sinks directly dissipate thermal energy into the vaccum energy. In essence, they eliminate local entropy at the cost of increasing universal entropy. A relatively old technology, the techniques to build entropy sinks is uncommon in the Rim and most ships there are stuck using older methods of thermal control. The internalization of heat control means that warships are both no longer vulnerable to strikes on unarmored cooling elements and that stealth in space becomes more than a theory.
