# 4.1 Major Components (Scavenged, Stolen, Gifted, or Traded)

## CRZ-L1 Parallel Core Unit

*Scavenged (not currently installed — potential emergency swap)*

- **Type**: Crystalline silicate processor, nav-compatible
- **Origin**: Ambrosia Dynamics, pre-Collapse
- **Function**: Autonomous decision architecture / nav-grade signal logic
- **Swap Use**: Substitute for standard Walker Nav Crystal (partial interface match)
- **Shielding**: Built-in EM dampening; maintains signal integrity under distortion
- **Note**: Capable of trace-memory retention. May exhibit ghost behavior post-swap.

> "Unstable in bots with attachment routines. Stable enough for guidance systems… if you can handle what they remember."

### Navigation Crystals

Designed for autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments. Builds a self-correcting, holographic map of its surroundings by fusing a range of environmental inputs: solar angle, magnetic field drift, RF signal triangulation, radar/lidar sweeps, atmospheric pressure, and inertial dead reckoning. 

Constantly learning and adapting, it layers this data into an evolving internal map — one that isn’t just spatial, but probabilistic, predictive, and even intuitive in tight situations. 

Most surviving crystals are scavenged, glitched, or jealously hoarded. In the right hands, a working nav crystal is the difference between wandering and coming home.

**NOTE**: ==Notoriously heat-sensitive. Reliable until it isn't. Fails catastrophically all at once. ==
