T-Drive

Thrusters or "T-Drives" are an advanced type of Reactionless Drive which convert rotary motion into uni-directional motion through a series of mechanical linkages.

• This type of drive is a variant on drive types known variously as a Dean Drive (or more properly, a Dean Space Drive) or a Gyroscopic Inertial Thruster (GIT).
• It should not be confused with the Thruster Plate, which is another name for the standard Maneuver Drive, or M-Drive.
