Impulse Drives
Impulse Drives are propulsion devices used by Ships to travel at sublight speeds and are also the main energy generating devices onboard a starship. Both Human factions use the same styles of engines while the alien K'luth use engines based of their own unique organic technology. Dreadnoughts and Stations use a special heavy duty version of normal drive called capital drives which produce more energy but are very expensive.

Human Drives
These drives are used by the UGTO and ICC ships and the salvaged Pirate ships, and are technologically based.
