It is estimated that 1 in 7000 hydrogen atoms are deuterium. Not exactly rare or expensive!

My point is that a fusion reactor as the sole source of power makes far more sense than a mixed fusion reactor and solar panels in an orbiting station. Has anyone any actual evidence that the panels on B5 are primarily solar panels and not heat diffUsers? My copy of the B5 Security manual cals them "Heat Exchangers and Emergency Solar Collectors."

I don't think the game needs to bother with such things as "emergency power sources" else we will get into such trivia as having both "gravitational" and "magnetic" drives on the White Stars!
