Orbital Drive

The Orbital Drive was an accidental discovery by the Halisayh Corporation around the 2300s. The purpose of an Orbital Drive is to allow fast interplanetary travel without need the use of a Rift Drive.
== General Information ==
Originally developed as a prototype for a new type of Ion plasma cannon, Halisayh scientists discovered that the magnetic coils and rails originally used to launch the projectile acted like a hyper propulsion. With the addition of magnetic rails mounted within the thrust, ships are able to maintain intense acceleration while maintaining fuel efficiency that can last for a few hours.
The Orbital Drive is found on every ship within the Oscdean Vindictus Ove. Ships such as the Udani Class destroyer need only 2, while larger ships such as the Poradus Class and Zaudai Class needs as much as 6. 
At its current stage, the design of the Orbital drive is has been mastered over the centuries among the Oscdean corporations for steady production, without being too intricate or complex. 
== Diagnostics ==
An Orbital Drive helps boost the thrusters of the ship into acceleration mode, which is most commonly used when a ship enters or leaves a planet orbit. In some instances, it can be used to travel great interplanetary distances without exiting a planet's atmosphere. 
When accelerating at such high velocity, a Vindictus Ove would naturally trigger the Heat Composite Shielding to protect the ship from burning up. The high velocity also triggers a form of Electromagnetic interaction, which prevents hyper G-Force by giving the ship a natural repulsive magnetic force. 
Known Models
H-10/III- The most common type, often found on the C.5 Sparrow, C.8 Osprey, and Kestrel class fighters 
H-16/I- These are found on light frigates and Oscdean destroyers such as the Unata Class and the Zidus Class.
H-18/II- were exclusively made for the Rokai Class cruiser due to its larger thrusters.
HU-21/IV- These were developed for heavier ships such as the Exodus Class carriers and the Udani Class battleship. 
Hu-22/V- Developed for Octavia Class carriers.
