Terran Enforcers and Tradesman have exclusive access to the finest engine in its class, the Cygni Express. If you are a Teran, you have or will at some point be issued one of these amazing engines. These engines are built to order and are in such short supply that it is only possible to receive one of them over the course of your entire career. For this reason, it is extremely important that you understand the issues surrounding this engine. First, remember that currently the repair facility has stopped taking in additional work, so any damage your engine might receive will be permenent! When heading into dangerous surroundings, you should consider using something that can be easily refurbished, like a Large Solar Sail. Additionally, the unique configuration of the Cygni that makes it so fast that it also makes it noisy and easier to detect from a distance. Again in combat surroundings, a Large Solar Sail, or in the case of a Teran Tradesman, a Halley DDO 40, would be a better selection (many Tradesmen have found the Halley to provide a welcome signature reduction). When using the Cygni for non-combat travel, remember that the Cygni is compatible with both the Roadrunner family and Lazarus family of engine augumentation devices. Some Terans have even reported excellent results with the more exotic Warp Kaza devices, although use of these non-standard devices may void any warranty.

In summary, the Cygni is an engine that loves to be run hard, so don't hesitate to see just how fast you can drive her! Properly treated, the Cygni could be the only trade engine you'll ever need, but keep her out of harms way because currently there is no way to repair combat damage.
