Description: A behemoth of an engine, with over 82,000 walltacks of force at launch. Nobody actually knows what the walltack unit is, but 82,000 of them is certainly impressive. Its tremendous power is offset by the fact it cannot be gimbaled, so other means of steering must be provided. Accidental testing has shown that placing this engine on a small rocket will end very, VERY poorly.
