Ion Engine

The most advanced propulsion system in the Abwehran Star Empire, the Ion Engine uses an Ion Coil on the front end to gather hydrogen molecules from the air and water on a planet as well as the gases from nebula. Breaking it down atomically and charging them, the engine then pushes the hydrogen atoms out the exhaust ports of the engine to create thrust.
