Power Generating Unit

A PGU

A Power Generating Unit (PGU) was often used around starship maintenance facilities.

History

They were highly explosive when hit by a stray laser, and if others were in the vicinity, the effects were devastating.

Behind the scenes

These units play the role of the frequent 'exploding barrel' element of action games.
