Thruster Drone

# Thruster Drone Space-going freighters possess massive, powerful engines with which to transport gigantic cargo container loads through space. Even so, there are times when a measure of extra thrust is required, either for bursts of additional speed or else when a sudden change of course is necessary. Thruster drones very neatly fill this requirement of providing the occasional burst of power. These drones fly out and attach themselves to the cargo loading at certain critical locations. When extra power is required, the engine mounted on the drone can be rotated and oriented to present a vectoring thrust in any direction within a hemi-spherical arc around its base. Because of the immense thrust forces generated, the base on which the drone rests has an extra set of magnetic pads to more securely fix it in position. Such drones come from the **Stardrifter** universe. Learn more and download the **Stardrifter** series of novels for free at: [https://davidcollinsrivera.com/]
