- Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: CIIE-HXCHA-X1
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material:
- Synthek vector crystals
- Kyromite microcore regulator
- Boreas cooling edge veins
- Crystaplast casing
- Durasteel or Dallorian alloy mounts
- Arbalest capacitor micro-interface
- CIHR-Compact plug-in port
- EFP (ElectroFrost Plasma) exhaust node array
- Optimized for burst maneuvering, vector thrust, and micro-phase cuts
- Integrates Synthek precision flow guides for sharp directional control
- Arbalest micro-capacitor ready — supports rapid lateral burns and flip-stabilizers
- Boreas-lined fins reduce heat bloom during dogfight engagements
- CIHR-compatible for harmonic tuning and power-safe reversion
- ElectroFrost Plasma Generation: Produces EFP via crystal-fused chamber; fully supports FRIES-IV suite
- Superior Maneuverability: Designed for high-G flips, cuts, and evasion
- Lightweight & Efficient: Minimal footprint for drone and starfighter use
- Phase-Responsive: Synthek lattices allow better inertial redirection under thrust
- Cooling Optimized: Resists burnout under dogfight pressure
- Not Suited for Long Burns: Overheats under sustained full-output
- Delicate Without CIHR: Crystals may destabilize if misaligned or overloaded
- Requires Capacitor Sync: Cannot perform rapid bursts without tuned Arbalest link
- Limited Output: Prioritizes agility over brute force
The Howlback-XC Ion Engine is a crystal-refined starfighter engine platform built to meet the demands of modern evasive dogfighting. Based on the Howlback-XII framework, it incorporates precision Synthek crystal jets, Kyromite phase balancers, and Boreas thermal dampeners into a lightweight, efficient power system.
Integrated with Arbalest micro-capacitors, the Howlback-XC supports sudden acceleration bursts and inertial flips that would fry traditional engines. Designed to thrive in extreme maneuvering environments, it’s the weapon of choice for elite pilots, droid interceptors, and stealth-forward platforms requiring exact control.
While it trades raw power and burn duration for finesse, when paired with the CIHR-Compact node, it becomes one of the most nimble and survivable ion engine solutions for Gen IV fighter tech.
