The Energy Point or EP is a generic metric used for calculating energy production and capability within Charted Space.

Description (Specifications)

It has been suggested that the generic energy measure, the EP, is roughly equal to 250 megawatts.

History & Background (Dossier)

The EP was first created during the time of the Vilani Imperium and became an invaluable tool for Naval Architecture. Every one of the Imperiums has made use of it as a generalized metric similar to beastpower designations known as horsepower to Terrans. Early technologists found it useful as the concept of the Technology Level and standardized ideas about sophont society development began to take form.
