→Propulsion
==Propulsion==
*[[Warp Drive]]s are complicated engine devices which allow Imperial Ships to travel through the [[Immaterium]] in order to reach destinations across the vastness of space. They are dangerous devices and due to the inherent perils of Warp Travel are only used for long-range travel.{{Fn|1a}}
*'''[[Plasma DrivesDrive]]s''' serve as a starship's principle method of propulsion for short destinations that do not require [[Warp]] travel and are not nearly as dangerous as Warp Drives. These are powered by the ships Plasma Reactors.{{Fn|1a}} Tough and reliable, Plasma Drives allow a spaceship to move from one end of a system to the other end in a reasonable timeframe.{{Fn|3}}
*'''Heavy Thrusters''' are used for planetary take-offs and landings. Plasma Drives produce hard radiation and aren’t suitable to be used in most environments.{{Fn|3}}
