Engine

Engines, alternatively referred to as thrusters, were mechanisms employed for the propulsion of vehicles across terrestrial landscapes, through a planet's atmospheric envelope, or across the vast emptiness of space. The size and configuration of engines could differ significantly; for example, some vehicles, like podracers, were essentially composed of just two engines and a cockpit.

A minimum of three engine classifications existed: repulsorlifts (which necessitated a substantial mass for generating thrust), sublight engines (used to propel vessels through realspace at velocities lower than the speed of light), and hyperdrives (which enabled the attainment of lightspeed and propelled spacecraft through hyperspace).

Certain starships had the ability to augment engine power, resulting in an increase in the vehicle's velocity. Asteroid thrusters represented a specific engine type that could be affixed to asteroids and subsequently utilized for their relocation.
