Primitive engine
Sarna News
Primitive Engines were developed alongside the Primitive Cockpit and Primitive Armor frequently used in the Age of War.
Compared to their Star League and Succession War-era counterparts, they are larger and less efficient. Typically modern engines are 80% the size of these early engines for the same amount of power.[1] The first Mackie for example, used a 33 ton 360 rated engine to move at a top speed of 54km/h.[2] At the fall of the Star League, this engine had been replaced by a 19 ton model with a rating of 300.[3]
Game Rules
The Primitive Engine is larger than its Succession Wars or Star League equivalent. To reflect this, compute the engine rating as normal, then multiply that number by 1.2 to get the Primitive Engine Rating (round up to nearest whole engine rating). Use the Primitive Engine Rating to get the weight of the Primitive Engine.[4]
