Named after the 20th century physicist and mathematician Robert W. Bussard, the Bussard Ramscoop in capable of collecting low-grade interstellar matter trough a series of high-energy magnetic coils. A Bussard Collector is found at the forward end of each of the warp drive nacelles. The Assembly consists of three main elements: an ionizing beam emitter IBE, which charges neutral particles in space; a magnetic field generator / collector MFG / C, a set of coils that cast a magnetic "net" ahead of the ship and pull in the charged particles; and the continuous cycle fractionators CCF, which separates the incoming gases. The interstellar matter collected can be used as fuel in the event a deuterium tanker cannot reach the ship for normal refueling.
