Propulsion

What We Do Engineers are highly specialised technologists, responsible for the maintenance and repair of critical ship systems and the operation of the vessel's power generation and distribution systems.

The FTL (Faster Than Light) Drive is a piece of recovered extra-terrestrial technology that emits intensive gravimetric fields capable of manipulating space-time. The effect is to propel the vessel at relativistic velocities far in excess of the speed of light (C), even though the vessel's actual velocity does not exceed impulse speeds (up to 0.2C).

The vessel's main propulsion is provided by Magnetoplasma Impulse Engines (MIE's), which utilise terrestrially-developed magnetoplasma technology combined with an alien-derived magneto-impulse acceleration system.

The vessel is propelled through space by different engine systems for travel between and within star systems.
