	'''IX-6315 "Dawn"''' is a [[Xenon]] electric deep space engine. It is unlocked from [[Xenon Propulsion]] in Tier 2 of the [[Tech Tree]] ~~. It features a compact design with a unique hexagonal exhaust grill~~. The engine consumes Xenon ~~gas~~ and [[Electric Charge]] ~~to generate thrust~~.		'''IX-6315 "Dawn"''' is a [[Xenon]] electric deep space engine. It features a compact design with a unique bright blue plume. This engine is usually suited for small payloads traveling vast distances. It is unlocked from [[Xenon Propulsion]] in Tier 2 of the [[Tech Tree]]. The Dawn is the only engine in the game which consumes Xenon and requires [[Electric Charge]] rather than generating it.

	It is ~~currently the only engine~~ in the ~~game which consumes Xenon and requires electricity~~ to ~~run rather than generating it~~. Its ~~unique plume features~~ a ~~bright blue color~~.		== Usage ==
			The Dawn generates thrust by exciting Xenon with electricity. This creates minimal amounts of thrust and requires a considerable amount of power but is extraordinarily fuel efficient. Significant power from [[solar panels]] may suffice closer to a star, but usage in the further reaches of space may require alternate [[Generators\|sources of power]] to maintain operation. Its incredible efficiency makes it a strong contender for small, long-distance probes.

	~~== Usage ==~~		In atmosphere the Dawn is essentially useless, providing no tangible thrust.
	~~The "~~Dawn" is ~~effectively~~ useless ~~in atmosphere but extremely efficient in vacuum~~, ~~at the cost of very limited~~ thrust and requiring a considerable amount of power. Significant solar power may suffice closer to a star, but usage in the further reaches of space may require alternate sources of [[Generators\|power]] to maintain operation. Its incredible efficiency makes it a strong contender for small, long-distance probes.
