Kyromaster ion engine


The Kyromaster ion engine, crafted by Quadex, was a type of ion engine. It powered Slayn & Korpil's A/SF-01 B-wing starfighter, with its propulsive force channeled via four splitter plates. Some B-wing designs opted for four JZ-5 Fusial Thrust Engines instead of the Kyromaster. A smaller version of the Kyromaster was implemented in Bespin Motors' Storm IV Twin-Pod cloud car, affixed to the connecting boom and exposed to the atmosphere for efficient cooling.
