Jovian Technologies: Propulsion and FTL
Background In order to expand, the Jovians required new forms of propulsion able to propel their ships into the void. These engines have been getting more powerful and efficient over the years as newer models roll out of the assembly yards. There are 3 engine classifications, sublight, faster than light, and Other Type. sublight engines are used when a ship needs to get about in a planetary system. Faster than Light or FTL engines are used to get between star systems quickly. Other Types are engines that access a different dimension or reality and are only used on experimental ships and thus are extremely rare or a secret. Sublight Travel Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems JP-10 “Lynx” Bussard Ramjets Made to replace the Fusion torch engines, save weight for the fleet and aerospace craft and to cut back on fuel supply costs, JP-10 Lynx Bussard Ramjet was made mostly regarding vessel weight. The Ramjets work by using massive magnetic fields to scoop up Hydrogen and Helium out of the vacuum
