Stellar Engine V
Converts antimatter annihilation directly into directed momentum through a quantum-coupled inertia exchange. Ships fitted with it do not have a listed top speed; they have a listed attention span.
Fits: frigate, cruiser, battleship, dreadnought, capital
Temporal Drive
Experimental Void Syndicate engine that briefly shifts the vessel 3 seconds into the future during combat, making it untargetable for the duration and allowing repositioning at will.
Fits: frigate, cruiser, battleship, dreadnought
