'''Mag-trains'''{{Fn|1}}, which are also known as '''Mag-trans'''{{Fn|2}}and '''Maglevs''', {{Fn|5a}} are mile-long{{Fn|1}} magnetic [[Imperial]] vehicles that travel on fixed rail routes.{{Fn|2}} They {{Fn|5a}} ==Description==Mag-trains are used by the [[Imperium]] to transport people, vehicles{{Fn|3}} or resourcesacross a world's surface.{{Fn|1}} across They are also used for the same purpose within Imperial spaceships.{{Fn|4}} The vehicles are composed of a worldleading drive cabin and then the many carriages that are connected to it and each other{{Fn|5a}}, through the use of couplings. The drive cabins contain the Mag-trains's surfacecontrol panels, which are a tangle of levers, wheels and are also used within intricately carved dials. When their [[ImperialMachine Spirits]] spaceshipsare roused{{Fn|5b}}, the vehicles' magnetic technology causes their grooved suspensor plates to suspend the Mag-trains an inch above their railing. The Mag-trains' propulsion drives then push them forward at incredible speeds on their routes.{{Fn|5a}} In fact, should a carriage be separated from a moving Mag-train, it will likely be hours or even days, before enough friction finally causes the carriage to stop.{{Fn|45b}}
