Planet Thrusters

Each of the abandoned machines found on … is a standalone thruster component. In total, over one thousand are present in the upper atmosphere. Made from specially engineered materials, these complex fusion devices are designed to ingest hydrogen gas from the planet below to use as fuel for generating significant amounts of thrust. Most show signs of overload damage. Our analysis reveals that all of the machines are positioned in such a way that this thrust would exert force against the planet itself, suggesting this ancient hardware was originally deployed in an attempt to alter the planet's orbit. While no longer suitable for this level of monumental task, we may be able to repurpose the lesser damaged models to burn away the planet's gassy layers and expose its mineral-rich core.

The command below will trigger the "Planet Thrusters" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• Scrap them all.
  • Alloys: +None to None
• Repurpose these devices.
  • Start special project: Repurposed Planet Thrusters
