Dark Energy Core

Item from Half-Life 2 by Valve

The heart of the Citadel — a contained sphere of dark energy that powers the Combine's Earth operations and nearly tears a hole between dimensions when it ruptures.

Also known as: Dark Energy Core, The Core, Citadel Core, Combine Reactor

What They Know

• Powers all Combine operations on Earth — its destruction cripples their infrastructure
• Serves as a communication relay to the Combine Overworld
• Its uncontrolled meltdown creates a superportal — a dimensional breach that could allow Combine reinforcements
• Can be partially stabilized using the Combine's own containment systems, but the process is temporary
• The gravity gun is supercharged by exposure to the core's energy field
