Approved Tech Scion Series Gravity Propulsion Unit

[Laertia Io]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To submit a Gravity Propulsion Drive
• Image Source: N/A
• Canon Link: N/A
• Permissions: N/A
• Primary Source: Dovin Basal

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Scion Mobile Shipyards
• Affiliation: Scion Mobile Shipyards
• Market Status: Closed
• Model: N/A
• Modularity: Yes (Can be scaled down to as small as a starfighter or up to SSD grade)
• Production: Mass Produced
• Material: Durasteel, Heavily modified Gravity Booster Technology, Heavily modified Gravitic Amplitude Modulator technology

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Engine that mimics the propulsion effects of Dovin Basals, allowing for performance and agility normally provided by Ion Engines and Ion Thrusters
• Nature of propulsion makes it slightly more difficult to detect at a distance for normal sensors and much more difficult to lock into for missiles reliant on thermal tracking
• Can be scaled up or down in size.
• Engineered for extreme durability in multiple environments and is difficult to damage

STRENGTHS

• Creative warping: Using heavily modified Gravity Manipulation technology, this device mimics the propulsion capability of a Dovin Basal, allowing it, depending on the design it's integrated into, to have the kind of speed and agility you would have gotten had you used ion based Technology
• Scalable: Can be made to fit on a starfighter, or built to a size suitable for an SSD
• Rugged: Able to function in nearly all environments and is difficult to damage
• Track unfriendly: Due to its unique propulsion, it's slightly harder to detect for ships at a distance, and Missiles reliant on thermal tracking find it much more difficult to lock into ships equipped with this

WEAKNESSES

• Ion: Ion weapons can cause fluctuations in its ability to manipulate gravity, causing random sluggishness for a half hour until it reboots
• Tractor beam: Tractor beams can do significant damage to it's internals more than a normal Engine and should not try to escape it without some sort of pre planned countermeasure

DESCRIPTION

Fascinated by Gravity, The Parliament spent days experimenting with the technology as well as Dovin Nasals to produce this engine. Basic in concept, The Parliament intends the best versions be reserved exclusively for House Io
