OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Developed as part of Aurora Industries' Aeon Program, the Phoenix Ion Engine is designed to be a generative upgrade to the Tidal Ion Engine making use of the technology found within the Garuda Variable Ion Drive. The new engine makes use of the miniaturized molecular furnace to break down any materials for the pilot's preferred fuel choice, ensuring that an equipped starship would never be far from refueling even if deployed on the fringes of the galaxy. Thermo-converters were included to cut down on the heat produced from the furnace's reactions of breaking down and reassembling the molecules within it.
The Phoenix also makes use of the coaxium reservoir, although it has been tied into the engine's induction intake to further enhance the speed boost achieved from the infusion of the hyperfuel. The engine also makes use of modified etheric rudders for greater maneuverability.
As a final feature, the Phoenix like the Tidal makes the iconic sounds of older ion engines found on the TIE series of starsfighters created by Sienar and various galactic powers throughout the ages.
- Intent: To submit a next generation starship engine, mainly for smaller starships, for Aurora Industries to utilize and sell.

- Continuing the design concept from the previous engine system, the Phoenix makes use of a miniaturized molecular furnace built into the system to produce a variety of fuel types for the drive to power the engine.
- A small reservoir of coaxium is connected to the engine and its induction intake charger for, when the pilot flips the switch, a small amount of the coaxium can be released into the engine and give it a significant temporary boost to the speed of the ship.
- The engine makes use of modified etheric rudders to give an equipped ship greater maneuverability.
- The system, much like the Tidal Ion Engine, is designed to make the same iconic sound of ancient TIE fighters for that nostalgic feel.
- The internal molecular furnace allows any material fed into it to produce any fuel system for the engine, with the internal components of the system designed to accept any fuel for maximum and efficient thrust.
- Making use of the coaxium reservoir and etheric rudders, the starship equipped with a Phoenix engine have greatly increased maneuverability and access to quick boosts of blinding speeds.
- If the drive's internal molecular furnace becomes sabotaged, it can cause a chain reaction that can consume the engine that will utterly destroy it.
- If the engine's internal components are sabotaged, due to the precise nature of their alignment, it can cause the engine to turn into a ticking time bomb that, combined with the coaxium reservoir, could result in a catastrophic implosion.
