Engine Components

Fusion engines generate thrust by superheating plasma in a magnetic bottle. The plasma is then emitted as exhaust through a nozzle assembly, providing thrust for even the largest of battleships. The temperatures and pressures exerted by a fusion engine require that their components be manufactured from High Temperature Alloys, while Superconductors are necessary to generate the huge magnetic fields needed to contain the plasma.
