DESCRIPTION​

The Core Galaxy Systems Performance Shop's 30-Series Sublight Booster, also known as the "Triple X", is a line of aftermarket performance grade plasma-fusion accelerators systems designed to enhance a ships sublight acceleration input. A popular product on both professional and underground racing circuits, the product also sees use by a number of smugglers, smash-and-grab thieves looking to make a quick getaway, and rich core world playboys trying to impress people with their money. The company offers a variety of versions to fit various popular makes and models of civilian personal transports and freighters, and is easily adapted to fighter sized engines as well, although it is impractical for capital sized craft. The product has been pilfered, copied, and imitated by a wide number of other companies and manufacturers with their own model numbers and selling points, making for a rich market throughout the galaxy.

In practical terms, the XXX Sublight booster increases a ships max acceleration by +15MGLT, letting it move significantly faster than stock versions of its peers. The Booster doesn't have any outward physical indicators and can only be detected by inspecting the ships sublight engines, making it a low profile add on for smugglers afraid of attracting attention.

Operating at max speeds for three posting rounds or more can result in catastrophic systems failure (contact tech staff if used in this manner.
