The LF9 ion engine was a type of sublight drive manufactured by Alderaan Royal Engineers. They were the primary engines of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. However, the engines were not capable of providing the speeds needed for the vessel to match the velocities of other combat starships or starfighters.[1] Most enemy ships could simply outrun a Victory-class, forcing their captains to use superior positioning during combat.[2]
