puter backup. In a pinch, the ship could be operated
from this station.
11. Maneuver Drive. Prior to thruster technology,
ships like the Krolic had to use advanced contra-grav
for acceleration not just off the planets
themselves, but across interplanetary space.
Though contra-grav still provided some thrust
against the universe‘s background gravitational
forces, its efficiency would invariably be cut to half
roughly past the 10 diameter limit of any significant
gravitational body.
12. Jump Drive. The Karposky Six may not
live up to the Jump-2 performance of Terran and
Vilani vessels far to coreward, but they were Neu
Samara's first reliable jump drive, and gave the
Krolic an operational lifespan well in excess of 60
years, long after other systems would have to be
replaced or upgraded completely. Reliability was
paramount with a ship that had to ‗rabbit jump‘
consecutively so often to get where it was headed.
