Transmutation Engines
The Transmutation Engines are extremely powerful devices capable of transmuting matter into an organic goo which can then be further transmuted into usable materials. In the time period beginning in book 6, all rubbish and refuse is sent off to be transmuted. Large Starcruiser mounted Transmutation Engines are deployed as planetkillers in Deathstalker Coda.

Famous quotes containing the word engines:
“America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.”
—Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
