Basics

- A rocket engine that uses the propulsion of ionized gas via electromagnets etc. to achieve thrust

- Has the highest specific impulse (exluding very sci-fy designs like anti-matter catylized fusion nuclear pulse propulsion etc)

- Is useful only in space

- Great as an orbital control system, or as a deep space vehicle's propulsion system

- Uses a single fuel, which is sadly typically Xenon Gas, which is great (due to it's high mass), but it is also quite rare/expensive

- Some use Argon Gas, which may be a nice alternative

Used For
