| The '''DDG-62''' is a model of sublight engine, outdated by the time of the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] circa {{BCH|40}}. The engines are apparently meant for small, one-man craft, and provide ample acceleration that seems to match that of a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper Mark II]].
| | During the construction of the [[Blackbird]], a prototype craft devised by [[Galen Tyrol]] and constructed by crew of [[battlestar]] ''[[Galactica]]'', [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Saul Tigh]] offered Tyrol a pair of these engines that were taking up space in the ''[[Boppa Kala]]'''s cargo hold.

| During the construction of the [[Blackbird]], a lone prototype craft devised by [[Galen Tyrol]] and constructed by crew of ''{{RDM|Galactica}}'', [[Saul Tigh|Colonel Saul Tigh]] offers Tyrol a pair of these engines that are taking up space in ''[[Baah Pakal]]''{{'|s}} cargo hold (as a favor for ''Baah''<nowiki/>'s executive officer) {{TRS|Flight of the Phoenix}}. | |
| | |
| The engines were designed by aeronautical engineer [[Peter Laird]], who says that they were mostly phased out of use 10 years ago {{TRS|Pegasus (episode)}}.

| * DDG-62 is the real-word designation of the US Navy ''[[w:Arleigh_Burke_class|Arleigh Burke]]-''class destroyer [http://www.fitzgerald.navy.mil/ USS ''Fitzgerald''], and the engine's name is a homage to that very ship. The [[Re-imagined Series]]' science advisor, [[Kevin R. Grazier]], organized a tour of the vessel for the writing staff. Ultimately only [[Bradley Thompson]] and his wife attended, but he later included the reference into the episodes as thanks. <ref name="ddg62">{{Cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=3429|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061030020510/http://www.hollywoodnorthreport.com/article.php?Article=3429|archivedate=3 November 2006|last=Falconer|first=Robert|date=31 August 2006|archive=y|title=FLIGHT DECK BSG TECH BLOG NUMBER 6|publisher=Hollywood North Report}}</ref>
