Memetic energy is energy produced by the effect of sentient organisms on the quantum fabric of the universe. To put it susinctly, thoughts have power and that power can be harnessed. There's also a hell of a lot of it, and it doesn't obey Conservation Of Energy at all. It literally comes from nowhere, like zero point energy. It's an extremely potent energy source.
Memetic energy was first harnessed by the Aincient Stephinians more than a million trillion years ago. It was what contributed to their extremely fast technological development in relation to their cultural development. It is the foundation of most Stephinian technology, expecially the SDW cannons and their womhole drives. The New Stephinian Empire was formed due to a lack of memetic energy and the subsequent crash of the starship Rocinante on Stephinia.

The first SDW cannon strikes the corvette directly above the bridge! The shields fail in a matter of seconds and the beam vaporises the entire bridge crew. You cut the corvette in half, just to be sure.
The second blast isn't so lucky, and hits nothing in paticular.
The escorts open fire with missiles!
