# Stellaris QED Engine
### Quantum Vacuum Engineering for Extreme Astrophysical Environments
**A fully functional, real-time, closed-loop simulation of magnetar physics**
Now with strong-field QED, dark photon conversion, general relativity, and force-free plasma dynamics — all in pure Python.

## Current Capabilities (v0.5.0 – 100% complete Month-1 target)
