Technology for Advanced Battle Station Module

I had a huge ship that I was upgrading.  A module I did not originally have on the original ship spontaneously appeared:  The Advanced Battle Station Module, giving me a 33% bonus to attack in my own influence for 5 space and 80 bc.  The thing is, I'd like to have that module on other ships, but I can't find it anywhere!

First, can anyone tell me what technology unlocks this particular ship component?

Second, why did it appear on my ship when I clicked to upgrade the original ship in the shipyard?  Is this a bug that it added it?

Third, if I want to add this component to other ships, where do I locate it in the ship building area?  I've searched weapons, defenses, and modules without being able to locate it.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Using Arcean tech tree:
Space Weapons -> Advanced Fire Control -> Advanced Battle Stations

I don't know. Given that we weren't there when it happened, we can't say for sure.

You can't find it (and like modules) if its already installed on your ship. You need to remove this module first before you can find it (any others like it).

That said, you should find it in the modules section. Click the "Advanced" tab to see most of the new TA modules.

It is in the Arcean Tech Tree, under the Advanced Battle Stations Tech. In the ship editor it is found in the modules section. It might be in another races tech tree, but I didn't see it anywhere else in my spot check of tech trees. If you aren't playing as an Arcean and you haven't traded for Advanced Battle Station Tech, then you got it by glitchcraft. (Beware my friend, many races don't tolerate glitchcraft, they may just burn you at the stake.)

Yeah, it's a glitch. I am using Terrans and for some reason when I hit the upgrade button it added this module. Bizzare!

Thank you both for the responses.
