Hy-cop mk IV Hydrogen Collection / Propulsion
Mass Thrust : 117.4 G's
Crew Requirements : 42
The Havilland Propulsion Labs produces
what is considered to be the cheapest form of
Space Engine in the universe. With the four
collection panels open, the ship can scoop
Hydrogen from space to augment its fuel supply
1******************************************************
S'slar Ict Ya 4 Atomic Propulsion
Mass Thrust : 298.2 G's
Crew Requirements : 117
The Tesairians' Goblin Reactor is the standard
Atomic Propulsion system in use today.
After the meltdown of the Excalibur's reactor
core, all Sol mk VI reactors were withdrawn from
service and declared unstable.
2******************************************************
S'slar Tzi Cha 2 Fusion Propulsion
Mass Thrust : 597.4 G's
Crew Requirements : 77
With the popular Goblin reactor in service, the
Tesairians could afford to developed the Ogre
Fusion land system for space service. With
twice the thrust of any existing system, it
marked the height of S'slar Co. engine designs.
3******************************************************
Zephyr 5 Xenon Particle Projection System
Mass Thrust : 688.8 G's
Crew Requirements : 38
After the Excalibur disaster, Sol Drive Systems
Corp. fell into disarray. Several of their top drive
specialists separated and formed the Mugwump
Propulsion Lab. Their first drive, the Zephyr 5,
shattered all known speed records.
4******************************************************
Fugue 4H Plasmatic Pulsar Propulsion System
Mass Thrust : 974.1 G's
Crew Requirements : 40
The Krec Nyh re-discovered this old propulsion
technology in the shattered core of an ancient
computer. Unfortunately, no one knows why it
works. When a Fugue drive breaks down,
engineers must replace the entire drive core.
5******************************************************
Neutrino Phase Inertia Propulsion System
Mass Thrust : 1272.9 G's
Crew Requirements : 43
The Secaries found that by surrounding a ship
with a Neutrino field, its gravitational mass has
reduced by a factor of 10. This, coupled with the
new Phase drives, produced the fastest vessels
in known space.
