Primitive Engines were developed alongside the primitive cockpit and primitive armor, which were frequently used during the Age of War.
Description[edit]
Compared to their Star League and Succession War-era counterparts, primitive engines 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used a 33-ton, 360-rated engine to move at a top speed of 54 km/h.[2] At the fall of the Star League, this engine had been replaced by a 19-ton model with a rating of 300.[3]
