Human Atomic Engines

## Details

Atomic engines are the most powerful engines by mass that can be found in human space, but this also makes them the most power hungry, heat producing, and expensive. Atomic engines are rarely seen on merchant ships, and even the Navy only starts using them during the war after the introduction of their mark II ship variants, but almost all Marauder ships will use them.

With the exception of A120 and A125 engines, which can be found in a few outfitters located in the Paradise Planets region, these powerful engines are only sold in the Deep.

A120 Atomic Thruster

"If you're looking for the most powerful engine that will fit into your ship, and have plenty of money to burn, Deep Sky's atomic thrusters are your answer. Of course, the extra energy and cooling they require can easily offset the benefit of their small size."

A125 Atomic Steering

"Deep Sky's atomic thrusters are a popular choice for high-end starships. It is not uncommon for a set of atomic engines to cost more than the ship they are installed in."

A250 Atomic Thruster

"Deep Sky's atomic thrusters have been in production for centuries, but remain a niche product due to their high prices and high energy requirements."

A370 Atomic Thruster

"This thruster is small enough to fit in a light warship or freighter, but powerful enough to move any but the largest of ships. Naturally, such performance comes at an exorbitant price."

A375 Atomic Steering

"Bounty hunters and other captains who need to gain a speed advantage over the ships they are pursuing often dream of being able to save up enough money for a set of atomic engines."

A520 Atomic Thruster

"If your ship is sporting a set of Deep Sky's atomic engines, you will be the envy of every pilot in the galaxy. No other form of propulsion that humanity has discovered produces so much thrust from such a small engine."

A525 Atomic Steering

"This set of maneuvering thrusters from Deep Sky will allow small warships to turn as fast as a fighter. For larger ships, swapping the existing engines with a set of atomics can free up a considerable amount of space for other outfits or weapons."

A860 Atomic Thruster

"The A860 Atomic Thruster is the most powerful engine sold in human space, and is much more compact than any of the alternatives. But, you may need to upgrade your ship's power and cooling systems to handle it."

A865 Atomic Steering

"Atomic engines are considered by many to be Deep Sky's crowning achievement. Although they are so expensive that relatively few of them are in use, there are few captains who do not dream of one day installing a set of them."

AR120 Reverse Thruster

"For pilots who want to pull fancy tricks that most are not capable of duplicating, a reverse thruster allows a ship to accelerate backwards, without needing to turn around.Because a reverse thruster must be facing forwards, it must be installed in the weapon section of your ship instead of the engine section."
