Archduke of Stalgasin Hive
SPECIAL FEATURES
Geonosian Industries, in conjunction with Stalgasin Hive, have worked to create a new form of unique engine; this is especially valuable given the planet's current position. Utilizing these engines for not only the coming upgrade to the Nantex-class Territorial Starfighter, this engine is also export-friendly; it's designed to work with many starfighter, snubcraft, and gunship designs, to both make it accessible for a wide customer base. Low-cost, maintenance-friendly, and easily-repaired, the only real complication is sourcing long-term replacement parts from Geonosian Industries - an intentional design flaw to ensure reliable purchase of their wares...
- The MISE-class, otherwise known as the Mip, is designed to serve as a unique vertical take-off and lift ion maneuvering engine in addition to providing a conventional ion engine all in one. Unique in that it's designed to "swivel" and "pivot" to provide hovering capabilities, it enables starfighters, bombers, interceptors, and gunships to serve as air support more effectively. It is also incredibly fast and able to switch between modes quickly.
- Can provide hover capabilities to starships, enabling them to serve as support atmospheric vehicles for usage against ground targets with greater ease.
- Engines possess superior speed in comparison to many mainline engines, boosting the starfighters it is attached to by a considerable amount (around thirty additional MGLT for snubcraft and twenty additional MGLT for gunships).
- Engines are easily modular with the ability to swap parts in and out more freely, in addition to easy repairing, and the ability to be slotted into a majority of snubcraft and gunships.
- Low-cost affordability enables even impoverished governments to purchase them.
- Does not work on larger starships, with anything below a corvette being the only ones possible to fit such engines onto.
- The parts are sourced only from Geonosis, Geonosian Industries, and the Stalgasin Hive, meaning that long-term replacements must be supplied by Geonosian Industries.
- Requires more training for pilots to understand the hover capabilities as well as how to swap between the two.
- Outright speed may require a choke for more delicately frail species due to the intense G-forces pulled, as well as needing to ensure the craft is structurally sound to handle it.

Out Of Character Info
Intent:
A VTOL-Ion starfighter engine designed to not only allow increased speed and the ability to hover in atmosphere (and thus acting as a solid gunship), but also serving as an easily-repaired, maintainance-friendly, and low-cost alternative to most engines.
