A Double-Bladed Dagger Drive was a component of the Meep's ship. It got its energy by stabbing down. The Fourteenth Doctor estimated the extraction area as 5 square miles.
Before launching the Dagger Drive, initialisers needed to be activated, gravity stanchions needed to be brandished and the flight deck needed to be calibrated.
In 2023, as the Meep was escaping the Wrarth Warriors, the Dagger Drive was damaged by laser fire. After the Drive was repaired at Millson Wagner Steelworks, the Meep commanded to launch it. In order to reverse the ignition, the Doctor and Donna Noble triple drove the particle manifesto, overstepped the umbilical feed, vindicated the cyberline, roasted the hyperfeeds, maximised the stressfold links, channelled up the booster drive, inculcated the plexidrones and shatter fried the positrons.
