5.1 IMPULSE PROPULSION SYSTEM Type: Standard Steamrunner Class mass-drivers developed and built by HighMPact Propulsion. Output is comparable to New Orleans Class. Output: Each engine (there are two impulse engines) can individually propel the Steamrunner at speeds just under .50c. 'Maximum Impulse' is .75c (three-quarters of 186,282 miles per second, which is warp one), and requires both engines working at approximately 3/4 strength. Due to time dilation problems, standard impulse operations are limited to .25c ('Full Impulse'), with each engine working at .125c. 'Half Impulse' is .125c, while '1/4 impulse' is .0625c. |
