Proteus Propulsion - Wake Limiter

This subsystem limits the wake left behind by a starship’s microwarpdrive, allowing a pilot to maintain a lowered signature radius while still moving at high speed. The underlying design is based on the same technology used by smaller Sleeper drones and empire-produced Interceptors. Although the engineering processes behind wake limiters have existed for quite some time in the empires, their application in modular subsystems has only become a possibility after fullerene polymers became more widely available.

Subsystem Skill Bonus: 5% reduction in microwarpdrive signature radius penalty per level.
