}}<section begin=summary/>Triangle thrusters are a type of [[Thrusters|thruster]] which are uniquely modular: Each triangle thruster has three ports on its sides, through which it can share propellant, power, and thrust states with adjacent triangle thrusters. Each bank of connected triangle thrusters requires only one device base for all of the thrusters contained within it, but it does come at the cost of some fine control as the thrusters within a group cannot fire individually.<section end=summary/>

== Basic information ==

Triangle thrusters are composed of five distinct components:
* The body, which houses the other components and provides convenient mounting surfaces. The body also holds two of the modular ports.
* The chamber, which burns [[Propellant tank|propellant]] to produce thrust. The chamber holds the final modular port.
* The nozzle, which channels the exhaust out of the chamber (thus producing thrust).
* The electricity converter, which converts power from [[Generator (Assembly)|generators]] and [[Battery|batteries]] into power usable by the thruster.
* The gas converter, which prepares propellant to be burnt.

Despite their relatively low thrust power (300,000 per unit), the modularity and ease-of-use that triangle thrusters offer is unmatched, though one does need to be careful to properly protect grouped thrusters as the destruction of just a few units can cause a total disruption of the entire thruster bank.
