* The ''Wayfarer'' uses an astronic propulsion system, which is prone to sudden catastrophic ion implosion | |||
* The ''Exterminator'' ship is powered by a neutronic reactor and propelled by 10 antigravity impeller engines powerful enough to cause a trail of time distortion. It is equipped with particle-beam weapons, missiles, energy-shield repulsors and inertia-dampening fields. | |||
** Amidst flight, the ion thrusters warp the space around the ship to temporarily condense time. Space warps back to normal after arrival. | |||
* Daleks used antigravity disks to tranport prisoners, equipment or even broken Daleks | |||
* The Daleks built a Large Chronon Collider, bombarding chronons at supralight speed, and use the resulting huon shower to trace the temporal profile of the Arkheon Threshold. But this needs a control element for stability, such as the Doctor's TARDIS | |||
* A magnetronic condenser is a discus-shaped object. When attached to a Dalek, generates a localised magnetic field that crushes it. | |||
