Chemical Rockets

Utility

Chemical rockets, also known as aerospace ship thrusters, are what allow rockets, ships and other aerospace vehicles to achieve flight and thrust. In the case of thrust the chemical rockets are built on the rear with the exhaust of the rocket facing away from the desired forward state. For lift, ships have a series of smaller engines built around the bottom of the ship, which ignite to lift the ship into the air allowing for vertical takeoff and landing. These rockets are then also used to control the roll, pitch and yaw in zero gravity zones, namely space. Some ships have chemical rockets that are able to be rotated, allowing them to have a VTOL capability without needing smaller engines built in to the base. With these ships the VTOL rockets then turn and twists to allow the ship control over its roll, pitch and yaw, but additional smaller engines that only output a small amount of thrust, nothing capable of creating lift, but enough energy to move a ship in zero gravity.

Access & Availability

Chemical rockets are freely available and accessable to any captain with their own ship, and all Human made space craft come with them equipped as standard, though the brand, size and style differ from company to company.

Complexity

Chemical rockets are a realitively simple technology, as rocket science goes. The rockets use liquid hydrogen as fuel, the ignition of it mixing with an oxidiser, in most cases liquid oxygen, burning very hot and very quick, creating a large amount of thrust and lift.
