Alluvial damper/Legends

"Horizontal boosters...! Alluvial dampers...! Well that's not it. Bring me the hydrospanners!"

- Han Solo, to Chewbacca



An alluvial damper was a subsystem of a starship's hyperdrive that was responsible for the regulation of thrust output from the generator. It operated by moving a servomotor-controlled plate to channel the emission of ion particles from the hyperdrive in a certain direction.
