There is a small rocket engine just for thrust. I suppose that there would
have to be some sort of maneuvering rockets, but I was lazy.

Well, after this one turned out too big, I turned to a less realistic, but
smaller version. Since a smaller version could have no hope of actually
attaining escape velocity on chemical fuels, I'm going to an anti-matter
propulsion unit. Time to revisit science fiction....
