Proteus Propulsion - Gravitational Capacitor This subsystem lowers the capacitor cost of warping and increases actual warp speed. With the influx of fullerene-based polymers and the discovery of Sleeper drone technology, the same fundamental principles once only sparingly employed in advance scout vessels such as Covert Ops and Interceptors could be re-applied to modular Tech III vessels. Although the Caldari claim to have been the first to successfully reverse-engineer these subsystems, the Federation argues that they were the first to deliver the breakthrough. Despite the contention, neither party seems keen to publicize the research data necessary to back their respective claims. Subsystem Skill Bonus: 15% bonus to warp speed per level 15% reduction in capacitor need when initiating warp per level |

Proteus Propulsion - Interdiction Nullifier Dubbed the "interdiction nullifier" by the Guristas, who suffered its first introduction on the battlefield, this subsystem grants a startling and unprecedented capability; an immunity to non-targeted interdiction such as mobile warp disruptors and interdiction spheres. The origins of the first "nullifier" designs are shrouded in mystery, but the subsystem's initial production of is thought to have taken place soon after the wormhole openings, and well before the technology became widespread knowledge. Not long after the first Tengu were designed, the Caldari Navy intercepted emergency transmissions from Guristas fleets across Venal, Tenal and Vale of the Silent. All of the reports made mention of Loki-class vessels slipping past defensive deployments and into core Guristas territory despite all efforts to stop the ships or slow them down. Following these reports, rumors spread that other groups began to discover and implement this extraordinary new technology, and yet of all the factions that leapt upon the opportunity, none were so eager or ruthless in their own race to capitalize as the independent capsuleer and pirate organizations that make the nullsec frontiers their home. Subsystem Skill Bonus: 5% increased agility per level Role Bonus: Immunity to non-targeted interdiction |

Proteus Propulsion - Localized Injectors This subsystem uses molecular-level nanotubes to increase the combustive efficiency of afterburners. Fuel is injected locally in a far more effective and controllable manner, thereby reducing the draw on the capacitor system. Although the decrease in capacitor use is relatively modest, even minute enhancements at this level can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Subsystem Skill Bonus: 15% reduction in afterburner and microwarpdrive capacitor consumption per level |

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. |
