The '''''Orion''-style sublight engine''' was an older form of [[ion drive]]. It emitted a great deal of [[Radiation/Legends|radiation]] and engine backblast, requiring sturdy pits to facilitate landing. Most modern ships are equipped with the more efficient [[Hoersch-Kessel ion drive]].<ref name="GG7" />
