Ion-Beam Accelerators

Ion-Beam Accelerators are the engines for propulsion of all Alien craft. Expect to always see one on every craft (unless you shot it down, of course). The Cruiser has two Accelerators and is also as common as the Large Scout, making it easy to find. Each Accelerator contains 50 units of Zrbite, and explodes upon destruction.
Accelerators are needed for the production of all X-COM Craft, such as the Leviathan, Manta, and Hammerhead. It is needed for the research of Alien Sub Construction and Ion Armor. This is also the only way to obtain Zrbite, so do not destroy these to kill some aliens!
This item appears in Terror from the Deep. For the UFO: Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to UFO Power Source.
