Ion engine

Ion engines (also called ion drives and ion thrusters) were a common type of sublight drive. Those drives generated charged particles that were then hurled from the rear of the ship, producing thrust in the process. The many starfighter models in the TIE line were all equipped with twin ion engines.

At the time of the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, Sienar-Jaemus Army Systems manufactured a number of ion drive models, including the SJAS-210 and the SJAS-200a.
