Sandminer Thrusters

The Sandminer's primary thrusters occupy the stern thrust housing, massive vented cones designed to redirect expelled plasma or chemical propulsion into directional thrust. They flare when active, emitting a controlled violet-white plasma burn against the hull plating. When Toos scrambles to stabilize the Sandminer, these systems surge into overload, disrupting manual commands and forcing them into idle despite the need for emergency reverse thrust. The chaos is visible in flickering control panels and the unnatural silence of dead vents, underscoring the sabotage that leaves the vessel adrift and vulnerable.
