Dark Energy Effects is a technology on the Exploration and Expansion technology tree with a research cost of 36000 
. It unlocks one Star System Improvement and one Empire Improvement, requires research in Complex Regulated Systems or in Dark Matter Shielding, and allows further research in Sustainable Supercities and Endless Empire.
"The mastery of non-baryonic matter is a great advance for science which would not be possible without mastery of complex mathematical models and their associated physical systems. Wave and particle effects propagated through dark energy can have ripple effects on a solar system level, effecting [sic] all forms of matter therein."

"Increased understanding of unusual particles and gravitational interactions allows system-wide installation of protective fields that stabilize planetary infrastructures. By avoiding unwanted interference from non-baryonic radiation and particle surges, elements of risk and chance are removed from industrial processes. As a result, they become more reliable, predictable, and fruitful."

"Complex anti-matter and dark matter emanations have been shown to potentially have interesting side effects on brainwaves and nervous systems. Dark radiation transmission, on certain frequencies and at certain rhythms, can apparently soothe and calm agitated systems. While it is perhaps not kind or ethical to manipulate populations this way, it is certainly efficient..."
