Korath Engines

**Korath Engines** are used by the various factions of the Korath. Completing Remnant: Salvage 6 allows you to buy the smallest two tiers of Korath engines from Remnant outfitters, but the larger engines can only be obtained by disabling and plundering Korath ships.

The Korath posses the strongest engines in the game and are quite compact for their output, giving them high mass-efficiency. The big trade off is that no other engine will heat up your ship quite as much and they have significant energy drain as well.

It's no surprise that the Korath use engines like these, as their large ships demand such output to maneuver at any respectable rate. Equipping these on a smaller ship of another species however, can allow for truly impressive mobility. In any case, pairing Korath engines with substantial cooling outfits is almost a necessity as the immense heat generated increases vulnerability to heat-based weaponry.

Thruster (Stellar Class)

"A legend among the Korath claims that when they were first testing out their latest generation of plasma thrusters, a concerned Quarg fleet approached and volunteered to help evacuate the Korath crew from what they assumed was a dying ship. The Quarg were surprised to learn that the flames shooting out the back of the ship were in fact its intended mode of propulsion. "
