I find it remarkable, that Helo gets actually 'betrayed' by a chrome toaster...

Slight Terminological Inexactitude
Ummm...
Reading the comments, I noticed that the Viper's increased fuel consumption is attributed to the fact the moon where Starbuck lands has an O2-free atmosphere, but I'm sure that isn't right.
Unless I'm mistaken, the reason they go through so much JP is because in space, the Viper just stays where it is. The only time a Viper in space burns fuel is to accelerate, brake or change direction. In an atmosphere, the Viper has to burn fuel *just to stay up*.
Which brings us on to the parallel question of how they fly in a low/no-O2 atmosphere. Either tyllium isn't a combustion fuel, or smallcraft have internal LOX tanks for this sort of thing.
