Ke-V9-P3300 Turbo Aether Plasma Drive

The Ke-V9-P3300 Turbo Aether Plasma Drive was developed for use on the Ke-V9 "Nodachi" Assault Fighter and became available in YE 33.

The Ke-V9-P3300 system utilizes raw Aether from an adjacent power plant, which is supercharged and accelerated in a subspace acceleration tunnel array until it reaches a plasma state. The Turbo Aether Plasma Drive is field-jacketed, directed and expelled to the ships stern at a high-percentage of the speed of light in order to provide thrust. Engine backwash can prove hazardous to nearby ships – causing equivalent damage to a charged particle cannon (Approximately Tier 9, Heavy Anti-Mecha - Tier 11, Medium Anti-Starship), though only at close distances.
