Prerequisites: Ion Drive, Fusion Reactor, Subspace Field, Plasma Energy
Research Cost: Pending
DescriptionAn impulse Drive (a colloquialization of internally metered pulse drive) is a nuclear fusion based propulsion system used primarily for sublight speeds. Each impulse engine consisted of one or more nuclear fusion reactors, a series of subspace field coils, and a vectored thrust nozzle to direct the plasma exhaust; which produced a high energy plasma which was vented out of the thrust nozzles to propel the starship.
