You sure Nuclear fission is best for a poor world? It means natural " hot " waste to dispose of and the " accidental " exposure to hazardous material. That and the fact a sly commander could set off the reactor from a secure location to disable their enemies.

Could you redo with an ICE engine instead?

ICE engines require FUEL. This baby runs until the reactor goes dry. Besides, when the reactor fuel goes bad you simply pay one of the dropship's going on and off the planet to load the drum onto their ship and simply chuck it out an airlock half way to the jump point...

I got a Pocketverse planetary system or three that uses ICE powered, everything. More like Alcohol. Combustion. Engine. for better interest. Grain exports and the greenthumb syndrome, if you get the meaning.

That would be a great Pocketverse planetary system
