MIE

Engineering systems are responsible for the core operations of the ship, including power generation, propulsion and life support. Engineers are expected to keep the power on and systems operational even as the ship takes combat damage or grapples with unexpected phenomena.

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.
