PRODUCTION INFORMATION
- Manufacturer: Zayne Industries
- Affiliation: Closed-Market
- Model: ZI-E252 Starfighter Thrust Engine
- Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced- Material: Dallorian Inner Rings and Central Layer, Kiirium Main Outer Armor Plating, Duranium Middle Plating, Turadium Structure/Core, Silver Conducts, and Circuitry
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Enables the starfighter to enter a speed in Realspace, less than light speed
- Has included Etheric Rudders which allows thrust vectoring and boosted maneuverability
- 3 ZI-W245 Starfighter Power Converters Included (Replaceable)
Strengths:
- Formidable Speed: As most starfighters rely on speed, this engine has been created for that specific demand as its thrust rating is at 375 KTU.
- There Goes Mr. Thunder: The Silver Conducts integrated into the engine has proven to be very effective against most incoming Ion shots and EMPs.
Weaknesses:
- Armor Tradeoff: With the new silver conducts, they cause weak points around the engine making it more susceptible to laser damage.
DESCRIPTION
The ZI-E251 Starfighter Thrust Engine, a product designed to compete with Zayne Industry's rivals. Unlike the traditional engines, this one includes many various types of alloys to increase efficiency. One of these metals, Silver, plays a huge new essential role in this design. The Silver Conducts has been able to absorb about 30-60% damage from EMPs and Ion weaponry. Very effective if an Ion Torpedo is on the starfighter's tail.
Quality in this engine has never been better, the thrust rating in this baby is 375 KTU. It is able to go at that speed without affecting its maneuverability and quick movement. The result of its quality actually originates from the Turadium structure/core. Turadium is an alloy very difficult to cut through, its strength keeps the engine stabilized without being affected by the propulsion.
Due to the Silver Conducts and Kiirium armor, this engine needs to be maintained every 2 weeks. If not, it loses up to 30% efficiency which is pretty drastic in future combat scenarios.
