Technological Terror
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Effectively an upscaling of the Hemlock for larger ships, the Nocturne operates under nearly identical principles.
This alien-looking device is powered by KBR reactors (ranging from dozens to thousands, depending on the size of the ship), and as such enjoys a degree of scalability. This engine can propel anything from a corvette to a battlecruiser, needing only an adjustment of power output and more modules to do so.
This modularity greatly eases logistical burdens, cuts down on production costs, and in general makes maintaining a navy far simpler. In a pinch, the engine can be salvaged from a smaller ship to get a larger one moving, or vice versa.
Like its smaller cousin, the Nocturne emits a stream of teal-colored flames when in operation, lending Helix vessels an unmistakable appearance.
Likewise, it shares the same overclock feature, but on a far larger scale. For brief periods, the parent vessel can increase its speed and maneuverability to a significant degree.

- Boiler Room: The Nocturne's speed, acceleration, and longevity are among the best in their class.
- Overclock: The Nocturne can briefly remove its built-in safety limiters, greatly increasing performance.
- Unstable: The Nocturne's operation is finicky, and incautious use can result in the engine becoming damaged or destroyed.
