The Dinos are said to be working on a next generation of spaceship propulsion. The aim is to merge traditional propulsion with worm drive to produce a single engine that can perform both modes of propulsion seamlessly. Improved subspace tracking and regeneration technologies may also raise the top speed to 6000ec.
Benchtesting of the new engine technology is expected to begin next year with field tests in 2119. Chief Scientist Dougson said that it is hoped the new engines, which could have the family name of Sunburst (though unconfirmed), will be powering Dinomarks early in the next decade.
