The ZI-X252 Vehicle Accelerator is made out of the highest quality metal, like the metal alloy duranium which can be found in many military grade plates. It is recommended to put an accelerator for every 2 engines because too little or too much might stress the system. In the event of an ion shot or an EMP, it is highly likely this component will be damaged or even destroyed. When using the accelerator, the driver can choose from which energy to drain from, for example; reserve energy, shields, weapon systems, or other systems. This accelerator design is specifically meant for HLCI, a gift from Zayne Industries.
The accelerator is based on the very well known SLAM and the highly similar ZI-X251 Starfighter Turbo Accelerator Motor. This component is able to increase its maximum speed by 80% and even up to 120% for smaller vehicles like speeder bikes. However, for every use, the overheat time is 45 seconds. Most pilots prefer to warm their ships up and have them online before the battle so they can use the boost right in the beginning.
The boost from this Accelerator can last from 10 to 30 seconds depending on the fuel and size. This component is recommended for all types of military vehicles, from giving a tank a small quick boost to a scout speederbike bursting through enemy lines.
