'''Torsion plates''' are a | '''Torsion plates''' are a [[maneuver drive]] system employed almost ubiquitously aboard [[Forerunner starship]]s. The plates convert harvested energy into a form of inertia-less thrust (presumably [[torsion field]]s), and are considered so simple and widely-applicable they are near-universally used across the [[Forerunner]] fleet. Other forms of propulsion are used, though they are generally used for extremely specific niche or aesthetic purposes.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=338}} | ||
{{Class|Supernal Spiral|keyship}}s such as ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' are equipped with torsion drivers,{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=84-85}} as are more terrestrial (though still floating) structures such as [[skydock]]s. The accuracy and precision required of atmospheric maneuvering makes torsion plates practically a required feature for any atmospheric flight.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | {{Class|Supernal Spiral|keyship}}s such as ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' are equipped with torsion drivers,{{Ref/Book|HWF|Page=84-85}} as are more terrestrial (though still floating) structures such as [[skydock]]s.
