Legend

developed for use on planets where the environment was dangerous to most vehicular drive systems, the exodrive system from Desler Gizh Outworld Mobility Corporation was entirely enclosed. This meant that no part of the ship's interior was exposed to the outside atmosphere, ensuring that chemicals and dust could not get inside and damage the drives. The exodrive systems used sophisticated repulsorlift engines and electromagnetic field generators to produce lift and propulsion, but this system also produced a large amount of waste energy. This waste energy, in the forms of radiation and drag-stream ionization, was simply expelled from the drive system, since it was designed to work in hostile environments anyway.
