Repulsion Drive

A Repulsion Drive is an early Brayburn Society drive technology used for propelling everything from aircraft to barges to even a starship. The technology is based off of a basic "repulsion" principle where the drives create an energy field that pushes against both the matter and energy surrounding it, giving a vessel both lift and acceleration/deceleration and which is also surprisingly energy efficient. It was used by the Society Starship Destiny on its maiden voyage, but was later abandoned in favor of sublight impulse drive technology as employed by the Gayik'Von as that technology was superior in every way to the Society's repulsion drive. This technology was seen in use by the Society for nearly fifty years before being abandoned shortly after the events of First Dawn.
