Intent: Create a line of engines for Gallofree Yards ship's
Development Thread: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/92600-second-contact-the-kathol-outback-dominion-of-resu-hex-witchmasters-invited
Manufacturer: Gallofree Yards Inc
Model: GF-T1 Fusial Engine
Affiliation: Open market
Modularity: All components are modular and can be changed out as needed.
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel, Hydroformed Permacrete
Strengths:
*Simple design - Easy to maintain and modify
*Cool burn - TibannaX cools in milliseconds after combustion - Engine runs cooler than comparable engines, puts less strain on components and is slightly harder to pick up on scanners (by 10%)
*Cheap - Made of common materials and simplistic design it is easy to produce as a fraction of the cost of its' peers
Weaknesses:
*TibannaX gas - fuel source (uncommon fuel makes refueling more difficult)
*Slow - Generates 10% less thrust than its' peers
*Fuel Hog - Burns fuel at a 20% greater rate than its' peers
*Increased maintenance - Components have set shorter than most life span and need's 20% more frequent maintenance work and overhauls.
Description: During a chance meeting on Pergitor Gallofrees majority shareholder and chief engineer came across Haven Shipyards TE-413. While too expensive for Gallofree's line of ships it did give him and idea. Using the engines simplistic designs he reworked many of the schematics till he designed a TibannaX fuel engine that was much more simplistic to manufacture and produce. Gallofree now uses this ship extensively in all it's new ships and freighters.
Technically speaking this engine is a simple rocket engine. TibannaX enters the engine in liquid form and injected into the core by turbopumps. As the liquid passes through the external disk shield it is compressed into the reactor housed in the core and the reflector agitates the gas till it violently combusts. Heat from the reaction is collected in the internal shield and converted into electrical energy to run the ship's systems while the reaction itself is funneled out the rear nozzle to propel the ship.
