Magneto Repulsors (and their variant, Electro Repulsors) are base-tier flight and combat devices used in the Fusion Engine Suit. They are repulsors — they repulse things. They can be placed or added anywhere on the suit, built at any size, and serve multiple purposes.
Function
Repulsors generate directional force fields that push away matter and energy. Their core functions:
- Levitation — sustained personal flight
- Combat propulsion — rapid directional movement in combat
- Offensive weapon — directed repulsive force blasts
- Deflection — pushing away incoming projectiles or energy attacks
Yes, they can make you fly.
Primary Types
Magneto Repulsors
Based on magnetogravitic principles — manipulating the interaction between magnetic fields and gravitational fields. These are the same fundamental technology that powers the Magneto Speeder's drive system, scaled down to personal equipment size.
Electro Repulsors
Based on electrogravitic principles — using high-voltage electric fields to interact with gravitational fields. A different approach to the same result, with different performance characteristics.
Comparison
| Feature | Magneto Repulsor | Electro Repulsor |
|---|---|---|
| Force Basis | Magnetic field + gravity interaction | Electric field + gravity interaction |
| Power Draw | Moderate steady draw | Higher peak draw, lower sustained |
| Best For | Sustained flight, smooth propulsion | Burst acceleration, sharp maneuvers |
| Related Vehicle Tech | Magneto Speeder drive | Electrogravitic systems |
| Ion Storm Vulnerability | Moderate | High |
Placement
Repulsors can be mounted anywhere on the Fusion Engine Suit:
- Hands — directed blasts and fine maneuvering
- Feet — hovering and landing control
- Back — main flight thrust (complementing Fusion Wings)
- Shoulders — heavy-lift augmentation
- Distributed — full-body arrays for omni-directional movement
Different suit configurations use different repulsor layouts depending on the mission profile.
Scale
The same repulsor technology scales from personal equipment to vehicle systems:
- Micro — fingertip-mounted, tools and precision work
- Personal — suit-mounted, infantry flight and combat
- Vehicle — Magneto Speeder class, primary propulsion
- Station — facility-scale, structural levitation
Repulsors vs. Fusion Wings
Jane Tho'ra can fly with just repulsors — they provide genuine flight capability. However, Fusion Wings provide vastly superior performance: energy buffering, temporal anchoring, dimensional capabilities, and the full plasma-pocket architecture. Repulsors handle basic flight; wings handle everything else.
